Several newspapers in the US have decided to stop publishing the famous comic “Dilbertafter its creator Scott Adams posted a video calling the African American population a “hate group”.

Adams rose to fame in the 1990s with his strip.Dilbert”, a sharp chronicle of the world of work. His comments on social issues are becoming increasingly controversial.

On his YouTube show on Wednesday, the 65-year-old cartoonist spoke about a recent Rasmussen Reports poll that found a small majority of blacks polled agreed that “it’s okay to be white.”

“This is a hate group and I don’t want to have anything to do with them,” he said. “Given what is happening right now, the best advice I can give to whites is to stay away from blacks,” the author added.

“Discriminatory Comments”

The USA TODAY network, which operates hundreds of newspapers in USAannounced on Friday night that it would “no longer publish the comic” due to “recent discriminatory comments from its creator”.

Chris Quinn, editor of The Plain Dealer in Cleveland, Ohio, said Friday it was “an easy decision” for his paper to stop publishing the paper.

“We do not welcome those who advocate racism,” he added.

On Saturday, the Washington Post reported that the comic would no longer appear in its pages, although it was too late to ban it from its weekend editions.

“In light of recent statements by Scott Adams promoting segregation, The Washington Post has ceased publication of the comic. Dilbert”, – said the representative of the newspaper.
