Newspapers across the country are dropping the Dilbert comic strip after its creator went on a racist rant calling Black people a 'hate group.'

Adams has made news for other controversial statements, includingOn his video show last week, the 65 year old said he had been identifying as Black"because I like to be on the winning team," and that he used to help the Black community. Adams said the results of the Rasmussen poll changed his mind.

"It turns out that nearly half of that team doesn't think I'm okay to be white," he said, adding that he would re-identify as white."I'm going to back off from being helpful to Black America because it doesn't seem like it pays off," he said."I get called a racist. That's the only outcome. It makes no sense to help Black Americans if you're white. It's over. Don't even think it's worth trying."I'm just saying get away.

"We are not a home for those who espouse racism," Quinn wrote."Adams' reprehensible statements come during Black History Month, whenhas been publishing stories about the work being performed by so many to overcome the damage done by racist decisions and policy."'s Therese Bottomly wrote,"Some readers will no doubt deride my decision as an example of 'overly woke' culture or as a knee-jerk politically correct response.

" after Adams introduced his first Black character. Quinn noted that the move was"apparently to poke fun at 'woke' culture and the LGBTQ community." Quinn said other newspapers that are part of Advance Local newsrooms — in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Oregon-- made the same decision to stop running the strip.
