On the other hand some of the lesser Seuss books are pretty fucking racist. Mulberry Street has an offensive charicature of an Asian person. So while I love Cat in the Hat and Wocket in my Pocket, there are some books I'm ok with quietly shelving.
Bottom line is Seuss was a genius and a product of his time. I mean I'm sure Mozart and Beethoven were extremely racist by our standards. I do hope people of color continue to work hard to put out new quality work that can compete with the Canon, but the Canon often survives for a reason while it's lesser contemporaries did not.
I don't think books should be censored. They're a product of their time. Maybe instead of treating them as childrens' books, keep them around and use them in high school classes for textual analysis and critical thinking skills. Teach about how times and images have changed... rather than simply labeling something as racist and getting rid of it. American society needs a very candid dialog on these matters.
they can suck a dick, or give some balls a lick, or take razor and give their wrists a nick
Fucking pussies with thin skin controlling how we are supposed to think.

But even despite his anti Japanese sentiment, he was surprisingly progressive on his views of black people and Jewish.
Very true. Why do you hate Cubans so much? :o

@25 I tried a quick google search on Seuss’s religious views. I have no idea what they are but I’ll take your word for it.
No idea what you are going on about with hire people but not pay them...but you do tend lose me with your rambling posts.
Look at today's portrayal of Muslims or linking immigrants to criminal gangs...its no different from the dehumanization the Japanese felt back then.
And sadly to say, kids growing up without white privilege don't need books to show them racism, they experience it in their daily lives.
And who is Alendra Ocasio-Cortes?
