Some prominent media publishers are dropping the comic strip Dilbert after its creator referred to people who are Black as members of “a hate group” and urged white people to "get away" from them. The backlash against Dilbert began after a YouTube video released this past week by comic strip creator Scott Adams. Among those dropping Dilbert are the USA Today Network and major newspapers in Los Angeles, Cleveland and San Antonio. Adams defended himself Saturday on social media. The comic's syndicator didn't immediately respond Saturday to a request for comment.
