Cartoonists across the country are applauding editors and publishers for condemning Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip Dilbert, after his recent tirade against Black Americans.
"I'm proud and happy to see publishers, magazines, and newspapers are dropping him because there should be no tolerance for that kind of language," said Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell, a cartoonist for The New Yorker.
"It's a relief to see him held accountable," she added.
Hundreds of newspapers, including The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, announced they will no longer carry Adams' work. On Monday, Adams' distributor, Andrews McMeel Universal, said they are severing ties with the cartoonist because the company does not support "any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate."
The Penguin Random House imprint, Portfolio, also will no longer publish Adams' upcoming book, Reframe Your Brain, which was set to release in September, the Wall Street Journal reported.

If newspapers drop every cartoonist, every columnist, and every writer who has ever made any "racist" statement anywhere, we will have a ready supply of completely blank paper.
Of course, being "Racist" is only a problem if the individual is a white straight cis male -- if the individual is any other ethnicity or gender being racist is acceptable, and is just called "woke"
