Updated! After Dilbert Creator Gets Blacklisted for Making ‘Racist’ Comments, Doug Wilson’s Canon Press Seeks to Snatch Him Up

Update. Canon Press commented on their offer to Adams, writing:


After famed ‘Dilbert’ creator and political commentator Scott Adams announced that he’d been dropped by his publisher and distributor for making a series of allegedly racist comments, Doug Wilson’s Canon Press sent out a message to him suggesting they’re looking to snap him up, or offer him a place within their publishing organization.

Adam’s recent troubles began during the Feb. 22 episode of “Real Coffee with Scott Adams,” when he referenced a Rasmussen survey where many black respondents disagreed or were unsure of the statement “It’s ok to be white” and then said based on the results, white folks needed to get away from black people.



Author Samuel Sey and many others took exception to Scott’s commentary, writing “Scott Adam’s words in this video are racist. It’s indefensible. And it’s yet another example of the cycle of racism in our culture. Racism begets racism. Stop repaying racism for racism.”

So if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people, according to this poll, not according to me, according to this poll, that’s a hate group. That’s a hate group. And I don’t want to have anything to do with them.

And I would say, you know, 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, just get the f**** away.

Wherever you have to go, just get away.

Because there’s no fixing this, this can’t be fixed. Right, this can’t be fixed, you just have to escape. So that’s what I did, I went to a neighborhood where you know, I have a very low black population. Because unfortunately, the you know, there’s a high correlation between the density, this is going to Don Lemon, by the way. Um, so here, I’m just quoting Don Lemon when when he notes that when he lived in a mostly black neighborhood, there were a bunch of problems that he didn’t see in white neighborhoods. So even Don Lemon sees is a big difference in your own quality of living, based on where you live, and who is there.

So I think it makes no sense whatsoever, as a white citizen of America to try to help black citizens anymore. It doesn’t make sense. It is no longer a rational impulse. And so I’m going to, I’m going to back off from being helpful to black America, because it doesn’t seem like it pays off.

Like I’ve been doing it all my life and had been- the only outcome is I get called a racist. That’s the only outcome. It makes no sense to help black Americans if you’re white. It’s over. Don’t even think it’s worth trying. Totally not trying.

…And there we go. You didn’t expect that today did you….But those who don’t want to focus on education, you just need to get away from them. Just get as much distance as you can. That’s my recommendation. And I’m also really sick of seeing video after video of black Americans beating up non-black citizens. Um, you know, I realize it’s anecdotal. And, uh, you know, doesn’t give me a full picture of what’s happening. But every damn day, I look on social media and there’s some black person beating the s**** out of some white person. I’m kind of over it. I’m over it. Right. So I quit.

Many Christians jumped to Adam’s defense and say there’s nothing racist about these comments at all, but rather he’s just speaking facts and making thoughtful and rational commentary, resulting in the wailing and gnashing of teeth by bad-faith progressives. When we asked Sey why so many people are quick to claim the comments are not racist, he offered:

“I think many people are defending Scott Adams because of bitterness. They’re bitter about the hypocrisies of the anti-white woke mob, the media, and cancel culture. Their bitterness is leading them to justify racism. They’re repaying racism for racism.”

Al Mohler Rebukes Doug Wilson for Publishing His Content Without Permission: Wilson Responds

SBTS President Albert Mohler got a little testy over the weekend, complaining that Canon Press, the publishing arm of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, has released some of his older material without his permission and blessing. His intent; distance himself from Wilson and the Church as much as possible.

Evidently a media platform has announced the release of some of my material. No communication with me or my staff. No permission from me. Material is taken from my addresses to Evangelical Theological Society. Take an aspirin, I’m not moving to Russia. Now or ever. #NYET

The books in question?

After this release was announced, some folk tweeted out their displeasure at Wilson platforming Mohler, bringing up Mohler’s flirtations with Critical Race Theory and his overall spiritual sponginess.

With a miffed Mohler’s grumbling about the betrayal, his sourness was quickly taken advantage of by the rowdy boys at Canon Press, grabbing his rebuke and running with it by offering a promo code in honor of Al’s lack of endorsement:

Plus a (well-deserved) potshot for good measure:


Responding to the brouhaha, Wilson weighed in, offering that the work Mohler produced prior to his new reality is useful and worthy of being shared, and that there was nothing untoward about the way they received and published his work.

A day or two ago, Canon+ added some of Al Mohler’s content from a number of years ago, from back before the woke virus days. A firestorm of sorts broke out on Twitter, with one gentleman commenting on how much the times have changed. Al Mohler and Douglas Wilson doing something together, and Wilson is the one who got into trouble. This was taken by some as a sign that Canon was going woke, or something like that, which is not the case at all. Al’s stuff back then was really good, and we stand behind it. Unlike Al, apparently.

But others in the comment thread following Al’s tweet were questioning whether or not it was an ethics issue. I can assure everyone that it is not an ethics issue. Everything published on the Canon+ app was acquired on the up-and-up, fair-and-square, and all-legal-like. Whoever was advising Al to put some distance between himself and Canon was a bit hasty, and ought to have done some spade work before telling Al to pull his skirts away.
