‘Morning Joe’ Says Anyone Still Supporting ‘Dilbert’ Is Making a Mistake: ‘This Ain’t Cancel Culture, This Is Just Racism’ (Video)

“This is not a question of being taken out of context. This is not a question of saying something that you wanna take back. This guy absolutely, unequivocally advocated: Stay away from Black people,” Sharpton said.

He added that these major publications were doing the right thing by not letting such obvious prejudice slide under the guise of “free speech.” “Let’s remember, Adams said it while he knew he was a cartoonist at these major publications, so he would, if not penalized, have been normalizing that it’s all right for these publications to do business and put forward the work and cartoons of a guy that says, ‘Stay away from Black people.’ I think they did what they should’ve done,” Sharpton said. “I think it would’ve been offensive and really signaling some kind of subtle agreement to continue to do business with him.

He has the right to say it; they have the right to say, ‘These do not reach out standards.’ And for Elon Musk and others to come to his defense makes us really question where are their standards and when do they consider something bigger than this racist?

Do you just have to go out and use the N-word outright? And even then, they may find some way to justify it.” “Anybody that would defend him, they’re defending this line right here: ‘My best advice that I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.’ That’s what he said in a video that he put up,” Scarborough said.
