No his books aren’t racists. He drew Chinese people with Chinese hats eating rice and African people drawn as tribal Africans.....

So what is offensive exactly about that?

This is one thing that bothers me about liberals. They look for problems that don’t exist like in Oregon they outlawed plastic straws to save the turtles or something. Cancel culture needs to be canceled. What is with this generation? They just look for things to be offended by.

Hi Rita, hope your doing well... You being from the UK I am reminded of one of my old favourite childhood shows, Thomas the tank engine...
I was horrified when I heard what they did to the fat controller... They gave him a name like Sir So and So cos its apparently offensive to say that someone is fat... Rubbish

Some other painful examples are Sleeping Beauty and Snow White being canceled cos the girls didn't consent to being kissed by the prince, they were sexually harassed according to them...

And what on earth happened to Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck... Their friends now and have girlfriends...
There is nothing funny about any of it anymore... I was told that they changed it cos it was too violent... Geez

I wondered then what they had done to my beloved road runner cartoon show...
It took me a year to finally look into that and to my surprise, the roadrunner is exactly the same.
Coyote failing to catch the roadrunner again and again and again...

If we accept people disappearing from social media or the movies or TV then how long until people start accepting the incarceration of such???

I read the Mulberry Street one to our kids. It's a great book. I think there's people in it with black faces, so obviously it must now be racist to show black people with black faces? If they looked white, that would be racist too. In fact, if a white man wrote it, just assume it's racist and make sure you burn it. Anybody read "Farinheight 451?" I think that man was a prophet.

Yeah I miss old cartoons. Popeye did eat spinach and beat the crap out of people. Maybe that’s not the best for kids lol. And I kind of remember a big racist chicken that would council the neighborhood cats and dogs. Maybe Tom and Jerry. That may be no bueno

Is Dr. Seuss Racist?
OP^

LOL- sure!!!
If you include everyone- and someone didn't want to be included- you're racist!

If you exclude anyone- and someone wanted to be included- you're racist.

If you don't agree with someone-
you're racist.

Dr. Seuss was a liberal democrat-
So...there ya go. Racist! :rolleyes:

:D

Like most children's book authors, his intent was to encourage children to read. Bravo!
(A far cry better than children learning the vulgar language that floats so freely in society...probably from the very lips of the dunces wanting to ban his books)

Pffff, YET another push of "gender neutral garbage" from Pelosi- (she needs a tighter mask!)

I'm starting to see a gov sickness spread. I'm concerned that they're attempting a dictatorship approach to controlling citizens. Worse than the socialist-like govs of today in the UK.

You failed to include "white" in the above line. Had you called him a black racist, his books would be at the top of the bestseller list. But they are going like hotcakes on eBay and Amazon. Imagine paying $670 for one of his racist books.

Hey it all the rage now to gender bender, young kids at school now are so fearful to make a claim that they are a boy or a girl now, huge mental problems are ahead as the Satanist keep peddling all the delusions.

I hear Socialist making claims that we have evolved progressed above our forefathers that we are a different people, well that is a delusion for a start and as for Sin, well they have even by past that one would claim. boy talk about delusion !

So the point about people eating rice or tribal is seen as offensive to such evolved people, the truth or reality is far from them, because they live a lie due to delusions.

A mate was telling me about the way that the police have dealt with certain subjects bikies, brat kids of late joy riding of late in the News and everything that he was coming from was just childish crap, a media education, he swallows all the media hype. I say that he can only see things from only one elevation as is the case of most people, but I look at things from every angle, he is looking at the front of a house, but I look at it from all elevations to understand what is truly at hand.
He claims the cops really sorted out the bikies and I said BS they did, it's business as it always was and worse now than ever in reality, as the key point was not addressed at all and why was that, well where there is big money to be made, need I say more. the Media will not inform the people of such reality's that's not there job, but hype and delusions are there bag as that makes them money and gives them credit.

Old mate claims that they have sorted out the young joy riders now ! I said no they have not at all, he claims kid joy riding it's all just come about, no I said it's only because it's on the Media's radar now fool, as it's been going on for years out of control you fool, only the media did not cover it before, you do not see the half of it on TV it's only what they want you to see. 2 people got run down and brought such all to the media's attention.
The brats have been let to run loose for years due to the Socialist Government intent to let such fester out of control, so they can bring in more stupid laws that they demand that truly work to undermine honest peoples freedoms, that's what's in the bag with all such games that are at play behind it all.

It's all designed to harness ones emotions, and nothing to do with logic.

Since American Marxists have nothing else in their arsenal, they have decided that the best way to destroy America from within is to ensure that there is CONSTANT AND UNENDING racial conflict and tension. Therefore Obama, Rice, Harris, Holder, etc. have come up with a Black Racist program which will use white guilt as a weapon against the rest of the population.

How should non-Blacks respond? They should turn the tables and start condemning Black Racism at every opportunity. Black Lives Matter (BLM)is a racist, anarchist, and Leftist domestic terrorist group that needs to be condemned, exposed, and then locked up. But BLM and Antifa are two sides of the same coin, and both need to be brought to heel. But as long as Biden and the Democrats are in control, and as long as the RINOs are totally spineless, Black Racism will simply go on increasing.

I was talking to a very black man just out of the blue when walking down town, we got talking for hours, he was great to talk to and we got on great, I was totally open freely speaking to him and he understood what was going down. there was not conflict between us at all on any issue, I said no one will see eye to eye with anyone on every issue and anyone who expects such is delusional.

But the Media is the real whore that only works to cause trouble and wind people up that I have seen my whole live they are playing games with people and then behind the Governments there is a shadowy figures that are at play in the Game who play the Party like a puppet, they are the real power in this world. Presidents, PM's are not as powerful as that lot, same thing with Dictators or even Hitler he had his masters in fact prodding him, anyone who thinks that Hitler came to power due to his own will is delusional, no one does that ever. Hitler was the mastermind behind it all they claim, what a load of hog wash.

We are being played for fools I said to this dude and he agreed, no one wants conflict or harm between anyone unless one is insane and it's the stupid who fall for all the dribble that is dished up for them. you see such tactics in unions, they peddle a cause and do not fill in the big picture, for if they did they would have nothing to rant on about like a loony, a informed people are better off that's how it should work but no no that's not their tactics at all. you will know them by there works some one said ? now who was that. Jesus. I wonder what else he said about this world.
