I roll my eyes are inclusivity for its own sake. My kids book shelves had some legitimately good books written by and featuring people of color, but there are some that are below average but skate by on inclusivity.

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'm torn on this.

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.

It's weird how we're collectively being forced to move backwards and are supposed to freak out about shit that's existed for decades or longer.

Fucking pussies with thin skin controlling how we are supposed to think.

You'd rather have wannabe Nazis controlling how we think? The right wing is moving backwards.

That’s pretty ironic, since from what I heard Horton Hears a Who was the starting point of him second guessing his own anti-Japanese racism.

But even despite his anti Japanese sentiment, he was surprisingly progressive on his views of black people and Jewish.

Seuss was a political cartoonist before writing children's books - he lampooned isolationist stances. His philosophy could be quite a patchwork at times. Thidwick the big hearted Moose is one of his more interesting books. It speaks to the limits of generosity, and allowing a dependent class to outgrow the working class.

LOL remember when Icey said Cubans live like total animals? Sounds like something the hypocritical trick bitch would say.

@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.

^ I believe his name actually was Isadore or Theodore Geisl, it certainly sounds like it could have Jewish roots.

Theodore Geisl was in fact NOT Jewish, but as a political writer he was one of the first to take up the cause of Jewish people back in the day of Hitler. Icey you're a fucking know nothing pussy. Just shut the fuck up you loser. You are literally stupider than Alendra Ocasio-Cortes.

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.

Dehumanizing your perceived enemy has always been in style.

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.

Why would anyone dislike Cubans?

And who is Alendra Ocasio-Cortes?
