Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, was recently chastised for going on a bigoted rant on his Real Coffee with Scott Adams YouTube show.
The artist was responding to a Rasmussen Report poll on whether “it’s OK to be white,” which revealed that 53% of African-Americans agreed with the statement. Adams, on the other hand, focused on those who disagreed with him and labeled African-Americans as a “hate group.” He even told Caucasians to “get the hell away from Black people” before launching into his racial rant, claiming it was the “first political survey” that “ever altered” his actions.
Scott Adams’ racially insensitive comments

On Wednesday, February 22, pro-Trump artist Scott Adams discussed a Rasmussen Report survey in which 53 percent of African-Americans agreed that “it’s OK to be white” on his audio program. He quickly launched into an inappropriate tirade, claiming that the survey shows “no mending” of the country’s racial tensions and implying that Caucasians live in a primarily divided area.
Furthermore, the artist made a satirical remark about ethnic identification, stating:
“I’ve long identified as Black because I prefer to be on the successful side. And I enjoy helping others. I’ve always believed that if you help the African society, you’ll be able to gain the most benefit.”
He continued, saying:
“However, it turns out that nearly half of that squad thinks my being Caucasian is inappropriate. That’s why I identified as Black for a while, to be on the winning side.
Scott Adams stated in response to the survey results that he will “re-identify as European” because he does not “want to be a part of a racist organization.” In addition, the artist claimed he “accidentally joined” the organization, mocking his African-American heritage.
“If nearly half of all Negroes are against white people—according to this poll, not to me—a that’s hate organization.”
The 65-year-old also advised White viewers to keep their distance from African-Americans, saying:
“I would say, based on the present way things are moving, the greatest counsel I would offer to white people is to get the heck away from African people. Get the f*** out of here. Simply get away, wherever you need to go. Because there is no way to fix it. This is permanent.”
Adams claimed that Caucasians should “leave,” and that he had already relocated to a “very low African population” area. According to African-American CNN anchor Don Lemon, there is a “correlation” between a “mostly Black community” and “a lot of issues he didn’t see” in white-dominated neighborhoods.
He went on to say that Caucasians should not help African-Americans because the work does not “pay off”:
“So I don’t believe it makes any sense as a white resident of America to attempt to assist African people anymore. It defies logic. There is no more logical desire. So I’m stepping back from being useful to African Americans because it doesn’t appear to be paying off.”
Adams went on to say that it’s “not even worth attempting”:
“The only outcome is that I am labeled a bigot. That is the only possible outcome. It makes no sense to help African Americans if you are Caucasian. It’s all over now.” I don’t think it’s even worth trying.”
The artist stated once more that Caucasians “just need to get away from them,” especially those “who don’t want to focus on schooling.” He also stated that he is “tired of seeing video after video of Black Americans beating up non-Black citizens” and that “some Black person pounding the sh*t out of some white person” every “d*mn” day.
Netizens have condemned Scott Adams’ racist rant
Scott Adams became embroiled in a major scandal after publicly engaging in a racial rant and disparaging African-Americans during a YouTube video. His remarks infuriated several social media users, and many took to Twitter to condemn the cartoonist:
Following the event, the Plain Dealer newspaper in Cleveland announced that it will no longer work with Dilbert artist Scott Adams and that the decision to remove the comic from its pages was “not a difficult one”:
“This is a decision based on the values of this news organization and the community we serve. Racists do not belong in our community. We have no intention of assisting them financially.”
The Plain Dealer also stated that Adams’ remarks occurred during Black History Month and that readers may see some Dilbert comics in the “next week or so” because cartoon sections are frequently produced ahead of time. However, the publication may allegedly depict a dark area where Dilbert was previously released until a replacement is found.
