Twitter CEO Elon Musk called the media “racist” in several tweets on Sunday in a strange reaction to the news that the country’s biggest newspapers were dropping the Dilbert comic strip. Dilbert creator Scott Adams saw his strip pulled from the and Los Angeles Times, among a host of other newspapers, after he promoted racial segregation in a YouTube video.
In the bizarre video that started everything, Adams cited a Rasmussen poll that asked people how they felt about the term “It’s okay to be white,” a phrase that was started as a racist trolling campaign. Because a percentage of Black respondents said they didn’t like the phrase, Adams argued the only solution was for racial segregation.
“Based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people,” Adams said in the video that would prompt the backlash.
