The Dr. Seuss foundation is going to stop selling a few of his less popular books that have racist depictions in them. Then they are going to re-release them with updated pictures to try to sell copies of titles that no one has bought in decades. But this is as good a reason as any get your panties in a bunch and declare war! Kill the liberals for burning books! Kill them? No. Admit them to some facility for the mentally ill? Yes, as they must be delusional because they "find" racism behind every tree and under every rock. I assume trees and rocks are racist too as some trees are taller than others and some rocks are bigger or smaller? I sense an inequality issue here! The lives of these intellectually and morally superior super humans must be perfect because they apparently have no problems of their own to devote their time to handling and they are free to concentrate all their time and effort on finding fault and issues with everyone else. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left to the dreary task of trying to scrape by and generally minding our own business without a care or concern about what Dr. Suess wrote or what pictures he used. 17 minutes ago, 716er said: When your views are... when the fact is... you are an idiot and deserve zero discourse.

Nancy Green didn't come up with the formula for Aunt Jemima pancakes. The Pearl Milling company did, 40 years before they hired her at a casting call to play Aunt Jemima at live events. The owner of the company saw a minstrel show featuring a mammy character named Aunt Jemima, and decided to brand his pancake mix with the popular trope. It was popular because it communicated to white people that black women were happy in their servitude. Just in case anyone is into racist relics from the past, you can bid on Dr. Seuss drawings of slavery: https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.artnet.com/market/racist-dr-seuss-drawing-auction-302586/amp-page 1
Thurman#1 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) 15 hours ago, Motorin' said: The decision was made by the Dr. Seuss Foundation, who are the owners of the books. There's 45 Dr. Seuss books, now 39 are going to be for sale. The conservative backlash to this is almost as funny as as the conservative demands to bring back Mr. Potato(e) Head's penis so they can play with his spud... (Mr. Potato(e) Head never had a penis, dummies.) In an unrelated new story, Super Man is an alien from another planet, he isn't a white anglo saxon. But the conservative backlash to the idea that there is going to be a black Super Man is hilarious. This. It's his own foundation making the decision, and yet people try to manufacture outrage. Kinda sad. Change happens. Always has, always will. Society looks at things differently as we learn and change. Always have and always will. Pitiful how people get upset about it.

Backintheday544 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 It’s really hilarious seeing the right complain about banned books. The American Library Association puts together lists of the most challenged that people are trying to ban. They’re basically all things the right hates: http://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10 There was no outcry from the right when this happens. There is outcry now with Dr. Suess. Basically, they’re being hypocrites yet again. 3
