Newspapers across the country are canceling the comic strip Dilbert after its creator, Scott Adams, faced backlash over comments about race.

The Dilbert comic strip is known for its pointed and humorous views on the workplace, yet Adams is calling his work environment a “train wreck.”

During an episode of his online show Real Coffee with Scott Adams, the Dilbert creator referenced a survey that analyzed black people’s mixed opinions about whether “it’s OK to be white.” Adams has since faced backlash for suggesting it was hate.

Distributor Andrews McMeel Universal also said it would be canceling Dilbert.

"[W]e will never support any commentary rooted in discrimination or hate," Andrews McMeel Chairman Hugh Andrews and CEO Andy Sareyan said in a statement posted to Twitter on Sunday. "Recent comments by Scott Adams regarding race and race relations do not align with our core values as a company."

Adams defended his comments in a new video podcast, saying they have been taken out of context, suggesting many people agree with him and that he was only offering “life advice.”

"This was all predictable, and I knew it when I said it, and I was OK with it," Adams said.

Elon Musk responded to the news of Adams being canceled, tweeting, “The media is racist.”

Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk also defended Adams.

“Newspapers are cancelling Dilbert claiming creator Scott Adams ‘made racist comments’ while discussing 26% of blacks don't think it's OK to be white,” Kirk tweeted. “Are we going to ignore the fact 12 million blacks think it's okay to hate white people, or just be outraged someone noticed?”

Adams also explained that the newspapers’ cancellations currently make up around 80% of his income.

"The big newspapers are 80% of your income, so the 20% of the newspapers are 80% of the income," Adams said. "The 20% that are the important ones are the urban big city newspapers — they are the ones that are going to cancel first, and they have.”

"Already what has been announced is about 80% of my income," Adams added.

The comic strip creator also noted that the future of his nonfiction publishing career is uncertain.

Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Random House, reportedly announced that it would no longer move forward with plans to publish Adams’s next book Reframe Your Brain, which was scheduled to be released in September.

"Portfolio will not be publishing 'Reframe Your Brain' by Scott Adams," a spokesperson said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch.

Adams suggested he would pursue new platforms for his comic strip.
