Racist "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams dead

[StmarysCity79]

Scott Adams, whose experience as a bank and phone company middle manager gave him the material to create the comic strip “Dilbert,” a daily satire of corporate life that became a sensation but was dropped by more than 1,000 newspapers after he made racist comments on his podcast in 2023, died on Tuesday at his home in Pleasanton, Calif., in the Bay Area. He was 68.

His former wife Shelly Adams confirmed his death, saying he had been receiving hospice care. Mr. Adams announced in May that he had aggressive prostate cancer and that he probably had only a few months to live.

In November, he wrote on the social media platform X that his health was “declining fast,” and that his insurer had not scheduled a time to administer a drug that it had approved. He asked for help from President Trump, whom he publicly supported. “On it!” the president responded on his social media outlet, Truth Social.

So what was the purpose of this post? Was it to announce his passing or just so you could call someone else a racist? In either case it says more about you and your thoughts than it does about him.

B.

It’s always the second answer.

Easy to understand, completely ignores what I said, but that’s par for your course

Why didn't you get angry at Gurps for posting that he had died as well?

Because he failed to point out his racism that got him removed from every national paper?

Do you want to hide his racism or do you agree with him?

What exactly is your point?

I think his point is that people like you rush to make the point that any death is tragic when talking about, say, Renee Good. But when it comes to Scott Adams, you're suddenly no longer a well wisher.

During a livestream, Adams referenced a conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports poll that asked if people agreed with the phrase "It's OK to be white. When the poll indicated that 26% of Black respondents disagreed and another 21% were unsure, Adams declared that Black people were a "hate group".
He then advised white people to "get the hell away from Black people, just get the f*** away. Wherever you have to go, just get away, because there's no fixing this"**

Is this hate or common sense?

Why would i sympathize with a racist like Adams who proudly voiced his racist opinions?

As far as i know Renee good has never said anything publicly racist.

Hate and stupidity.

Only an idiot would think getting away from an entire race of people would be common sense

what you see as angry is actually disappointment and I have Gurps on ignore because of the amount of posts. My point is that you weren’t posting about his passing it was just a vehicle to spew some more of your venom. Nobody really cares about his views on the day of his passing, just that a talented artist had passed.

For your consideration ...

Many American's have a dream, to be a completely homogeneous society once again. Ya know, pretty much like Russia, China, Japan, Poland?

Well I like to idolize people who aren't racist personally and find it difficult to appreciate a persons output knowing they are a terrible person.

But if you want to buy Hitler's art go for it.

Seems like your attack on Adams is rooted in the fact that he supported Donald Trump for President more than anything. Adams did make a controversial racist statement on a podcast that he later tried to explain. I don't know that I would buy the explanation, but I'm also not going to condemn him for one bad take.

Did you call out Joe Biden for some of his past statements that were somewhat racist? Like when he stated you couldn't go into a 7-11 without an Indian accent, while trying to fake an accent? Or when he said poor kids are just as talented as white kids? Or when he opposed court ordered bussing as part of school integration and said it would cause his kids to grow up in a racial jungle.

Or did Biden get a pass because he was a democrat and Adams obviously was not?
