Publisher scraps book from 'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams after 'racist rant'
 [NYPOST] Penguin Random House is dropping its plans to publish a book by "Dilbert" comic strip creator Scott Adams, marking the latest fallout over the cartoonist’s recent alleged racist rant. Oh no! Not raaaaycism! Adams’ "Dilbert" comic strip was dropped last week by hundreds of newspapers after the 65-year-old creator advised white people to "get the f—k away" from black people during his online show "Real Coffee with Scott Adams." Not because they're responsible for 55 percent of violent crime while constituting 12 or 13 percent of the population? Portfolio, a Penguin Random House imprint, said it is ditching its plans to publish the book titled "Reframe Your Brain," according to a report from the Wall Street Journal late Monday. Don't go trying to relate cause with effect now... Adams confirmed to the Journal that Portfolio won’t be publishing "Reframe Your Brain." "They've invited me to an auto-da-fe at their offices next Wednesday though." Portfolio did not immediately respond to request for comment. "We don't talk to racists. You wanta get our headquarters burned down?" The move to cut ties with Adams comes after he reacted last week to a Rasmussen Poll that said a small majority of black Americans agreed with the statement "It’s OK to be white." Barely half, that is. Slightly less than the number of violent crimes committed by blacks. "If nearly half of all blacks are not OK with white people ... that’s a hate group," Adams said in the video, which was posted to his YouTube channel last Wednesday. You're not allowed to point to the 600 pound gorilla in the room. He'll rob your delicatessen. "I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, 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 ... because there is no fixing this." It'll be interesting to see how many readers we have after this little rant. And if Comcast drops our service.
