Not me alone. And by the way, the UPN strategy to suddenly focus on a black audience is not in dispute.

Free fucking market, snowflake. They decided to serve a market they were confident they could cultivate an audience from-their obligation under the capitalist model. Didn't cancel all "white shows", just the lowest rated & nobody watched dilbert! Before we knew you're a racist

UPN is allowed to direct their focus to black audiences. No network— especially today— would be allowed to direct focus to a white audience in the same way. There are entire organizations keeping tabs. This is not “free market capitalism.”

The entirety of western history has been directing focus on a white audience! Jerrod carmichael had a critically acclaimed sitcom that was cancelled for the same reason as dilbert- low ratings (although- even with the emergence of streaming, dilbert was watched by less people)

It's possible that Dilbert got cancelled because it failed to resonate with a large enough tv audience and the network wasn't seeing a big enough return to keep it on. If it was doing Super Bowl numbers it would probably still be on tv.

Other shows that "failed to resonate" in their first season include Seinfeld and Family Guy. With Dilbert, first season was strong enough to renew, second season MUCH better shows, cancelled anyway because time slot move killed it.

But not because you were white.

The context was they had already decided to refocus on an African-American audience. That's when I "coincidentally" lost my time slot that would have pretty much guaranteed success.

I’m betting they still had white employees after you departed.

Scott seems to be a victim of loser think. Complete and utter denial. White execs discriminated against him because his cartoon wasn't black enough so they cancelled it but left other white shows on the network. That sounds like a scared mans reasoning.

You seem smart (really), so I'll let you in on a secret. Sometimes I tweet things for reasons that are not obvious on the surface. Dig down a few layers.
