Are people that upset over 6 of Dr. Seuss' books being removed from shelves for controversial imagery?

So if he depicted the boy as white, it would be white supremacy. If he depicted the boy as black it would be racist. I can also assume according to cancel culture depicting the boy as male is sexist or some kind of sex supremacy. One thing I can be happy about at least is that most cancel culture people also believe in abortion. @BlueVeins

@stratosranger ehhh that's a stretch, the image we're looking at right now is kinda borderline even with all that cultural awareness in mind

Point is once the door is opened to this type of mindless bullshit, it never ends.@BlueVeins

@MalteseFalconPunch exactly

@SW-User Ahh, I see.

@SW-User so true

@Keepitsimple I hear ya.

@SubstantialKick Yes because the average garbage fare on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network is so much better. 😴

@stratosranger I stopped giving a crap about both of those channels in the mid-late 2000's.

@SubstantialKick Ditto. But even earlier than that. Those MGM and WB cartoons from back in the day were and still are the best. And I don’t give a damn about anyone who says otherwise

@YoungPoet345
I agree that the publishing company made the best move. They were being very low key about it but it is way beyond time for illustrations I showed and some of the pictures of oriental background portrayed in a degrading way. It wouldn’t be fun if we as whites suffered the same acceptance if we were portrayed in a bigoted manner. Society had a way of shaming bigots by humor of Norman Lear with “All in the Family”. You can believe in the 70s that no one wanted to be pointed out as a bigot in the manner of Archie Bunker. We had gone so far after the Civil Rights legislation that it was easy to take it for granted. These illustrations can be showcased in the Smithsonian Institute about how stupidly acceptant we were of ignorant understandings of other cultures but it is long time for that pure unadulterated ignorance to be treated as accepted mainstream!

@Pfuzylogic agreed

Good points

@smiler2012 yes 😂

“And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”, “If I Ran the Zoo”, “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.”

In “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” a character described as “a Chinaman” has lines for eyes, wears a pointed hat, and carries chopsticks and a bowl of rice. (Editions published in the 1970s changed the reference from “a Chinaman” to “a Chinese man.”) In “If I Ran the Zoo,” two characters from “the African island of Yerka” are depicted as shirtless, shoeless and resembling monkeys.

@YoungPoet345 Exactly

It’s ridiculous 🤣

@YoungPoet345 No, I'm curious

Isn’t this coming from the same crowd who years ago would get outraged when the extremist religious right would burn books? Sounds just a bit hypocritical...well maybe a whole lot of hypocritical. @YoungPoet345

@stratosranger yeah, well, people will do what profits their agenda I guess 🤷‍♀️

It is too funny how often each side does the same damn thing the ither side does. @YoungPoet345
