"Hundreds of newspapers drop ‘Dilbert’ comic strip after racist tirade from creator Scott Adams"

[cnn.com]

I have enjoyed Dilbert for decades with it's parodying of corporate life. Perhaps it was notable that political topics weren't involved, even though that is often a source of frustration. Perhaps Adams knew his true feelings were unfit for print. Or, like so many of my friends, Adams followed the GQP down the rabbit hole more recently. It's sad that people degrade themselves, and/or reveal themselves to be bigots. Trump has enabled the worst of our society to thrive and get a hearing no matter how undeserving.

Fuck Adams. Fuck the GQP. As the wingnuts denounce others, let the next generations see them for what they are and reject them. Kudos to the media for dropping Adams.

If anyone has trouble understanding white fragility, this appears to be a textbook case.

Scott Adams worked for Pacific Bell at an enormous facility in San Ramon, CA. Much of the genuinely funny stuff he wrote back in the beginning was based on truth/reality. That's why so many of us loved it. He punctured the corporate attitudes of the time. But then...as it does...life changed, corporate cultures changed and Dilbert faded away. I'm STUNNED to hear of Scott's attitudes today! It doesn't sound like the man I knew!

I asked Google "what does GQP mean", but Goggle couldn't tell me
By the way... "white fragility" does not exist. It was invented by Robin DiAngelo to make a lot of money, which was a quite successful move.

Instead, there seems to be something like a "general fragility" in a certain milieu, where people constantly discover some 'microaggressions' that exist only in their imagination.

GQP is GOP where 'Old' is replaced with Q. As to the existence of white fragility, the motive is all too familiar. If you look at how thin-skinned Trump and his supporters are, and what's been going on in Florida, ad nauseum.

I always thought that cartoon was a waste of space anyhow. It's history now, and so is Adams!
