Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, is an outspoken conservative -- and racist. He called Black people a hate group and made some vile comments on his podcast that has caused numerous publications throughout the U.S. to pull the strip.
Adams said:
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people-according to this poll, not to me - that’s a hate group... That’s a hate group, and I don’t want anything to do with them... And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I can give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people … There is no fixing this. This can’t be fixed. You just have to escape.”

I'm not surprised Scott Adams is a racist.
I'm surprised it took this long for him to admit it.pic.twitter.com/TpHhGKgESU
