You'd think that would be Business for Dumbasses 101, right??

The Plain Dealer is dropping the Dilbert comic strip after creator Scott Adams’ racist rant

cleveland.comWe are dropping the Dilbert comic strip because of creator Scott Adams’ racist rant: Letter from the Editorthis is a decision based on the principles of this news organization and the community we serve. We are not a home for those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide them with financial support.

I am fully aware that when it comes to assholes, I have a special magnet, but I didn't think my radar was that far off.

Like many Americans, I’ve enjoyed the Dilbert comic strip for years. It’s a funny and often sardonic send-up of corporate life. Anyone who’s worked in an office environment can probably identify with some aspect of what creator Scott Adams is portraying. It’s like an all-too-real portrayal of the movie Office Space in comic form.

Unfortunately, while Dilbert is invariably funny, Adams himself has often been somewhat less so. Over the years, he’s been known for holding some odd and unusually offensive political views. He’s been a long-time Trump supporter. Over time, some of the racial views he’s expressed have crossed the line from crude to abhorrent and degrading. This hasn’t seemed to bother Adams, nor has his success seemed to be impacted. Until recently.
