Several US media publishers are dropping the Dilbert comic strip after its creator described black people as members of "a racist hate group".
Several media officials denounced the comments by creator Scott Adams as racist, hateful and discriminatory.

Dilbert is a long-running comic strip poking fun at office culture.

In an episode of the YouTube show Real Coffee with Scott Adams, Mr Adams referenced a Rasmussen Reports survey that asked whether people agreed with the statement: "It's OK to be white."

Most agreed, but Mr Adams noted 26% of black respondents disagreed and others were not sure.

The Anti-Defamation League says the phrase was popularised in 2017 as a trolling campaign by members of the 4chan discussion board, but then began being used by white supremacists.

Mr Adams, who is white, repeatedly referred to people who are black as members of a "hate group" or a "racist hate group" and said he would no longer "help black Americans".

He urged white people "to get the hell away from black people".

I dont it will bother him too much, he has about 70 million in the bank.

Is that survey credible? If so its pretty disturbing. As someone who hasn’t been there for a while it seems divisions are worsening.

Quick Google has lots of reports/complaints of them having a conservative so Republican bias. With complaints of their population samples not being broad enough.

They are considered below Yougov and Gallup in their polling.

It sadly seems to be building to a rather unpleasant crescendo.

The reality is every culture has a percentage of nasty people and unlucky people, if they are immigrants they are more likely to be unlucky. We need to contain the first and help the second, constantly blaming other cultures for their problems is hardly helpful.

There are plenty of white British psychopaths and many poor white British are at the bottom of the education leagues. Lets ask the French for reparations and blame criminality on the Romans. Or maybe lets just fix it?

We need to fix today's problems not berate each other about the past.

Much of the USA's black population are recent immigrants and not descended from US slaves so the offenses of 200 years ago are less relevant to their future.

They are achieving higher education levels similar to other immigrants.

Black people have entered the highest level of education & industry yet there are so many poor black neighbourhoods.

American Indians are worse yet little is heard of their plight.

Asian somehow are half the rate but many Americans actively hate Asians.

Black inmates are higher per capita - is that racism or another reason?

Black people are 7 times more likely to die if restrained by the Police, now is that racism or another reason?
