Several prominent media publishers across the US are dropping the Dilbert comic strip after its creator described people who are black as members of “a racist hate group” during an online video show.

Various media officials denounced the comments by Dilbert creator Scott Adams as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.
