I apologize to ‘Dilbert’ comic creator Scott Adams for forcing him to be racist

The racism I, as part of the media, apparently harbor toward white people is why Scott Adams was forced to say he doesn’t want to live near Black people. I take full responsibility for Adams’ words.

As a member of “the media,” I would like to formally apologize for forcing “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams to be racist.

As you may have heard, the cartoonist took to his YouTube channel last week and said: “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.”

He also labeled Black people as members of a “hate group.”

If Elon Musk blames me, I’m sure I’m at fault

We in the media swiftly reported on these comments, and on the fact that most humans with functioning brains were labeling the comments racist because they are very, very racist.

The blowback prompted Twitter owner Elon Musk, who, like Adams, is a senior member of the American Coalition of Aggrieved-For-No-Reason White Men Who Never Shut Up, to tweet in support of Adams: “The media is racist.”

Musk went on: “For a *very* long time, US media was racist against non-white people, now they’re racist against whites & Asians.”

OK. When a noted media historian like Musk makes a statement like that, it’s incumbent on journalists like myself to devote at least several seconds to deciphering what he’s on about.
