Scott Adams, the creator of the popular comic strip “Dilbert,” has been widely condemned for his racist tirade and as a result, newspapers across the United States have dropped the comic strip. His comments were in response to a poll from the conservative firm Rasmussen Reports and he has yet to apologize for his words. The cancellation of “Dilbert” is a reminder of the power of words and the importance of holding people accountable for their words and actions.
