Cartoonist, satirist, and political commentator Scott Adams, who formerly identified as a black man, has been canceled this week over comments, some people have alleged to be racist, on his podcast.
A day after he made comments on “Real Coffee with Scott” saying that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with blacks anymore, multiple liberal media outlets said they would no longer publish his comic strips.
“Based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the [expletive] away from black people, just get the [expletive] away,” Adams said on his program on Feb. 22.
“Wherever you have to go, just get away, cause there’s no fixing this.”
Adams, 65, made the comments in response to what he said was a “provocative little” Rasmussen poll, which asked 1,000 Americans whether they agree or disagree with the statement, “It’s OK to be white.”
