Dilbert distributor cuts ties to comic strip's creator over his remarks about race
CBSN
Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams experienced possibly the biggest repercussion of his recent comments about race when distributor Andrews McMeel Universal announced Sunday it would no longer work with the cartoonist.
Andrews McMeel Chairman Hugh Andrews and CEO and President Andy Sareyan said in a joint statement that the syndication company was "severing our relationship" with Adams.
In the Feb. 22 episode of his YouTube show, Adams described people who are Black as members of "a hate group" from which white people should "get away." Various media publishers across the U.S. denounced the comments as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.
