These comments aired on the Feb. 22 edition of Adams’ YouTube show, “Real Coffee with Scott Adams.” He described Black people as part of “a hate group” from which white people should “get away.” Following the comments, many newspapers across the country severed their relationship and ceased publishing the comic strip. “Dilbert” was an office satire that began printing in 1989.
