Dilbert comic strip creator Scott Adams experienced possibly the biggest repercussion of his recent comments about race when distributor Andrews McMeel Universal announced Sunday it would no longer work with the cartoonist.
Andrews McMeel Chairman Hugh Andrews and CEO and President Andy Sareyan said in a joint statement that the syndication company was "severing our relationship" with Adams.
The creator of the long-running comic that pokes fun at office-place culture defended himself on social media against those whom he said "hate me and are cancelling me." Adams, who is white, repeatedly referred to people who are Black as members of a "hate group" or a "racist hate group" and said he would no longer "help Black Americans."
Dilbert had already been dropped by several media outlets by the time of the announcement from its distributor.
