I'm accepting criticism from anyone who has seen the full context here. The rest of you are in a fake news bubble but I trust you suspected that. Scot

  I went and dug up the primary source: it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6TnAn7qV1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6TnAn7qV1s, and the objectionable bit starts around the 13 minute mark. While it's annoying that some of the media are refusing to quote him in full or link to his video, the context doesn't add much. He quoted a poll about the demographics of who agrees with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_okay_to_be_white https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_okay_to_be_white (which is both an innocuous statement and a white supremacist campaign to troll the media into complaining about said statement), then said some frankly ridiculous things about how he no longer (?) identifies as black. He did actually call black Americans a hate group, for some reason. Overall he appears to have gone insane and I'm not surprised papers are dropping him now. It's not just some ambiguously-racist statements where he's saying it's okay to be white, but also a lot of bizarre and erratic behaviour that must make him a PR nightmare to work with.

    so far as I've been following him the covid pretty much killed the income from dilbert comics, and he's creating a commotion because it has near 0 impact on whatever residual income he's getting from it
