Sunny isn’t sure how she feels. She isn’t a fan of cancel culture; she prefers consequence culture. She worries about censorship. She notes the chopsticks.

Sara said a consequence of the racism is taking these specific books out of circulation and that is fine. That’s not cancel culture. Then she went on to say essentially nobody is perfect and times were different; throw a disclaimer on them.

Joy doesn’t like this. She used a Dr Seuss rhyme to say we should use books and art to foster discussion. “Is this sentence/picture racist?” Similar to Gone with the Wind. Don’t cancel it...talk about the problematic parts. Never ban books.

Whoopi says you should say when the book was written up front. Explain that was a time when some people thought it was okay. People don’t feel that way anymore. That’s not what we do now. Acknowledge it. Talk about it. Without the conversation, there’s no understanding.[/quote]
