Dilbert comic, writer made some racist rant, now off my local paper

If you're as "huh?" as I was...

On 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 not saying start a war or do anything bad," he added. "Nothing like that. I'm just saying get away. Just get away."

A white millionaire that identified as black because he wanted to help them and also be on the winning team....what a bunch of disingenuous child-brained spiteful nonsense.
 
So, this dude is in his 60's, is worth like $75m and clearly doesn't give a shit anymore.

Alight. :dunno

I cannot say I have regularly read a comic strip in a newspaper in like 15 years anyway, so....
 
Yeah, he read a poll on the internet and he's one of those "I don't trust polls" types, but anyway he read a poll on the internet and now all white people should get the hell away from black people. He's like elon musk, in how, someone smart can also be one of the dumbest mf'ers on two legs.
 
He found out free speech has consequences. You can say what you want, but people do not have to pay to read what you say.

I mean, I think at his age and wealth, he does not give a shit about consequences.

This strikes me as a, "fuck it, get off my lawn, I don't give a shit," moment.

The negative impact he will suffer will more than likely be effectively zero.
 
Who??

No way I am watching a 50 minute video to find some nuggets about a who???

Yeah, the artistic medium he built his wealth off of is effectively dying if not already dead, he has accumulated enough wealth off it in his day where consequences are meaningless to him.

This just appears to be the last of the Boomers, Boomering out in un-shockingly Boomeristic fashion.

The impact to him and the world at large shall be exceptionally small, lol.

:dunno
 
I think you're right that he's been declining, but he's still been making money off the comics, which he's going to lose out on. Maybe a million or two? I have no idea, but I do know that our non-75m perspective is, pfft, who cares about a million, but history tells us...yeah, the guy with 75m actually cares a lot about a million.

I actually think we will suffer from the negative effect; in fact the whole creation of the study he’s referring to, might have been a troll operation …. . .

A good reputation is priceless, right?

I mean, Larson and Watterson could be complete a-holes, but they've kept their mouths shut. ;)
