T&C Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Had no idea, although I haven't read one in many years or read one to a child lately. https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2021/03/02/6-dr--seuss-books-won-t-be-published-for-racist-images BOSTON (AP) — Six Dr. Seuss books — including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo” — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author's legacy said Tuesday. “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday. “Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families," it said. The other books affected are “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 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...

They can find out what "racists" are checking out and reading them and then take the appropriate action to enforce their strict absolute moral code. Is it just me that finds their behavior, while offensive and annoying, also comical in many ways? They waste all their time and energy meddling and getting into all kinds of things that don't produce anything. If they are disappeared overnight they world wouldn't notice any difference the next morning with the exception of dealing with less BS. Its like large number lawyers and lawsuits. The reason we have so many lawsuits is because our universities are graduating so many lawyers. They all need work so the generation of lawsuits no matter how frivolous is necessary for the creation of employment for all of them. Like water seeking its own level. In the case of the wokesters they have all kinds of useless degrees like gender and women's studies, and sociology. What business that produces real good and services needs to hire a lot of them? None! So we get all these unemployable and useless graduates running around looking under every rock and behind every tree for some social evil. And presto, they keep finding them.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backintheday544 Posted March 3, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
