[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Dr. Seuss Enterprises said it made the decision after consulting educators and reviewing its catalog." [quote]Dr. Seuss had a long history of publishing racist and anti-Semitic work, spanning back to the 1920s when he was a student at Dartmouth College. There, Dr. Seuss once drew Black boxers as gorillas and perpetuated Jewish stereotypes by portraying Jewish characters as financially stingy.[/quote] Oh, the horror that the people who manage his estate might want to dial back the parts of his work that suck by today's standards. Why can't I just go eat in a Sambo's Restaurant, pour some Aunt Jemima over my pancakes, and read some Dr. Suess depicting black people as gorillas. Damn you liberals!!![/quote] If you actually read the title I mentioned, a classic Seuss book, (and not just the article), the only offensive line in there is “and a Chinese man that eats with sticks”. I’m just saying, this is a slippery slope and where does it stop?[/quote]
