Newspapers Drop Dilbert Comic After Creator's Racist Comments
-------------------------------------------------------------

A growing list of media outlets will stop publishing the long-running
Dilbert comic strip after its creator Scott Adams made racist comments
on his You Tube show. Dilbert's distributor has also cut ties with
Adams, after he said Black Americans are part of a "racist hate group"
and advised white people to "get the hell away from Black people." The
remarks were made in response to the results of a poll that asked
respondents if they agreed with the statement "It's OK to be white." A
number of major publications severed ties with Adams, including The New
York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and USA Today.
