The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and other newspapers across the country say they will no longer carry the syndicated "Dilbert" comic strip after cartoonist Scott Adams urged white people "to get the hell away from Black people." He uttered his racist advice during his online video program last week, during which he labeled Black people a "hate group."

Adams opens the episode discussing the presidential bid by Republican multimillionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Then, 13 minutes into the video, Adams began his screed by citing the results of a recent public opinion poll conducted by the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports.

By telephone and online, the group surveyed a thousand American adults, with this question: "Do you agree or disagree with this statement, 'It's OK to be white'?"

The report found that 72% of the respondents agreed, including 53% who are Black. Some 26% of Black respondents disagreed, and 21% said they are "not sure." The poll also found that 79% of all the respondents agreed with the statement "Black people can be racist too."

I don't know how much impact this kind of Cancel will have on Dilbert since newspapers are so diminished now but yeah, Dilbert dude made some seemingly Racist comments and BAM - Gone!
