Dilbert’s Racist Creator Scott Adams Claims DON LEMON Shares His Views On Black People

The racist creator of the popular Dilbert comic strip claims that Don Lemon shares his views on black people, sharing a 2013 clip of the embattled CNN anchor offering his advice to the black community.

Scott Adams, who is believed to have racked up many millions from the Dilbert series over the past three decades, has come under fire for a video in which he calls black people a “hate group” and advises white people to “get fuck”. k’ away from people of color to avoid getting into trouble.

Dilbert’s comic strip, about a menial office worker, was promptly withdrawn from hundreds of newspapers across the country afterward.

But Adams, 65, only doubled down on his comments, invoking former Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday to assert that bigotry is acceptable in certain situations.

And on Sunday, he shared the 2013 clip of Don Lemon’s five tips for the black community, tweeting, “I got canceled by CNN for agreeing with Don Lemon.”

He claimed Sunday that he was making the same points Don Lemon made in a 2013 clip, in which he advised the black community to pull up their pants and stop littering.

He tweeted on Sunday: ‘CNN canceled me for agreeing with Don Lemon’

In the clip, which has been viewed 3.7 million times since it was first posted on Twitter on February 19, Don Lemon advises members of America’s black community to pull up their pants and pick up their trash. .

“Because black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here are five things you should think about doing,” the CNN host said on air in 2013. “Here’s number five, pull up your pants.”

He explained in the two-minute clip that the trend of wearing baggy jeans with boxers sticking out has its roots in the prison system, where guards remove inmates’ belts so they can’t be used as a weapon.

“And then it became what role a prisoner would have during male-on-male sex,” said Lemon, who is openly gay. ‘The one with the pants really low is submissive, do you get my point?’

Lemon then advised members of the black community not to use the N-word when talking to each other and to pick up trash in their neighborhood.

“Now number three, respect where you live,” he said. ‘Start small, not littering, littering in your own communities.

“I’ve lived in a number of predominantly white neighborhoods in my life, rarely have I seen people litter,” Lemon said. Now I live in Harlem, it’s a historically black neighborhood. Every day I see adults and children throwing garbage on the ground when there is a garbage can only a few meters away.’

Lemon also advised members of the black community to stay in school, telling his audience: ‘Do you want to break the cycle of poverty? Stop telling kids they are ‘acting white’ because they go to school or speak English correctly.’

And her last piece of advice, which she said was the most important, was: “Just because you can have a baby doesn’t mean you should, especially without planning to have one or get married first.”

He cited a study showing that more than 72 percent of babies born in the African-American community at the time were born to single parents, which he says “means absentee fathers.”

“And studies show that the lack of a male role model is a fast train to prison, and the cycle continues.”

Adams, the creator of the popular Dilbert comic strip, said Wednesday on his Real Coffee with Scott Adams online show that white people should “stay away from black people.”

Adams said Sunday morning that Lemon’s comments were similar to what he was trying to say on his Real Coffee with Scott Adams online show on Wednesday.

But in the livestreamed video, posted to his YouTube channel last week, Adams told his viewers: “The best advice I would give to white people is to stay away from black people.”

‘Just fuck off. Wherever you have to go, just walk away.’

He added: ‘There is no way to fix this. This can’t be fixed… You just have to escape. So that’s what I did, I went to a neighborhood where I have a very low black population.’

The 65-year-old then called black people a “hate group,” citing a survey that found nearly half of black people disagree with white people.

As the video gained traction over the weekend, Gannett, one of the country’s largest newspaper distributors, confirmed it was dropping Dilbert.

“Recent discriminatory comments by creator Scott Adams have influenced our decision to suspend publication of his comic,” the organization said in a statement Saturday to The New York Post.

“While we respect and encourage free speech, their views do not align with our editorial or business values ​​as an organization.

“At Gannett, we lead with inclusion and strive to maintain a respectful and equitable environment for the diverse communities we serve across the country.”

The Cleveland Plain Dealer later announced that it was also cutting ties with Adams following his “racist tirade.”

“This is not a difficult decision,” Plain Dealer editor Chris Quinn wrote in his letter from the editor on Friday.

‘Adams said blacks are a hate group, citing a recent Rasmussen poll which, he said, shows nearly half of all blacks disagree with the phrase ‘It’s okay to be white.’

The Los Angeles Times also announced it was discontinuing the comic, along with the San Antonio Express-News and the USA Today Network.

Adams, pictured in 2001, is believed to have earned more than $70 million from the Dilbert series over the past three decades.

The comic strip follows a character, Dilbert, in a menial office job. It ran in newspapers across the country, many of which have since dropped the comic due to Adams’s comments.

He tried to double down on the comments over the weekend, tweeting to his 867,000 followers on Saturday: “Lots of people are mad at me today but I haven’t heard anyone disagree yet.”

‘I make two main points: 1. Treat everyone as an individual (without discrimination).

‘2. Avoid any group that doesn’t respect you. Does anyone think that’s bad advice?

Later that day he posted: ‘Has anyone checked the price of free speech lately? It’s worse than eggs.

Adams also tried to defend his racist tirade by comparing his comments to Mike Pence’s personal policy, where he said he never dines alone with a woman other than his wife, a policy many criticized as a sexist practice.

The Dilbert creator interpreted the rule as a way for a man to avoid false accusations of sexual misconduct, saying his advice on avoiding black people stemmed from the same fear of alleged false accusations of racism.

However, he then went further, urging “everyone” in a video on Saturday to embrace racism in the workplace as he tried to justify his comments.

“I’m just saying: as a personal and professional decision, you absolutely have to be racist whenever it’s to your advantage, and that’s for men, women, black or white, Asian or Hispanic,” he said.

Adams tried to explain that his comments “were the opposite of racism, but also racism.”

“Anyone who doesn’t agree with the idea that you should stay out of people’s pockets where the odds are, they’re not going to like you,” he told viewers, stating once again that he would be the victim of false accusations.

She then used her interpretation of the Mike Pence rule about having dinner with other women to justify her point, saying, “The Mike Pence rule would say you want to distance yourself a bit.” Now is that racist? Yes, by definition.

“But it’s racist in a context of personal success, which is completely permissible.”

And on the subject of “permitted” racism, Adams urged anyone to take advantage of bigoted practices for rewards.

One such practice, Adams argued, was affirmative action, stating that a black person taking advantage of politics is a “racist career decision” that he would “fully endorse.”

“If you’re making decisions about your own personal life, you can be as racist as you want,” he said. “That’s not illegal and it’s definitely not unethical.”
