Newspapers across the US have dropped the comic strip Dilbert in response to racist comments made by its creator, Scott Adams.

Adams’ comments were in response to a poll that found 26% of Black people disagree with the phrase, “It’s OK to be white,” which prompted Adams to say,
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people ... that’s a hate group. And I don’t want anything to do with them,” Adams said Wednesday. “And based on how things are going, the best advice I could give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people. Just get the f— away. Wherever you have to go, just get away. ’Cause there’s no fixing this. This can’t be fixed.”
Much of what he's reported to have said was parsed out of a much larger narrative he made on his podcast... Much of what he said was obvious hyperbole...

The "media" are only showing a clip about 1:40 long out of a approx 6-8 minute narrative... It's what they do...
