I still have some of them from when I was a kid. I also have my mister Tater Head. This is all incredibly stupid. When everything is racist, nothing is. 

I have some books left over from when my daughters were young.  I remember when my brother was having trouble learning to read my mom got the Dr. Suess books and Berenstain Bears to help him.   Funny, though my autistic grandson hated Dr. Suess when he was learning to read, he said the words hurt his head.

Those were really great books, they were fun and so encouraged kids to read. I still have some other books from when I was a kid. I also have a bunch of my son's toys from then he was a kid. He left most of it with me last time he moved out of my house. I have a lot of the Masters of the Universe figurines. I'm sure that Battle Cat and Skeletor will be racist too as soon as the crazies find out about them.

“It’s a weird time….Unless she did some truly horrible **** or said overtly racist ****,” Burr said about Carano. “I don’t know. I think there is just too many channels. And then you gotta do sensational ****…I don’t know what the fck it is. I’m on that fcking show. Now, I gotta watch what the fck I say.”

“She was an absolute sweetheart. Super nice fcking person,” Burr later said of the actress. “And you know whatever and somehow someone will take this video and they’ll make me say something else and try to get rid of my bald action figure…It’s how it is out there. It’s ****ing crazy times. People just waiting, laying in the weeds.”

Humanity is devolving at an alarming rate into an inferior subspecies comprised of hypersensitive and malicious fools and idiots. It's like we skipped right past that film Idiocracy into something far worse. The inmates are running the asylum now.

Just curious... 

Why isn't Dr Seuss simply banned all together?  

Why only 6 books?  

I'd feel safer if no one ever said his name again. 

:D

The left continues to find racism where it does not exist.

 

This was clearly a story to claim a racist act.    More likely is that the company wanted to broaden the audience.  Most movies will cast a few very attractive women in movies for the same reason.  Good business.

 

When TV host Jimmy Kimmel asked them Monday about comic Louie Anderson‘s involvement in the franchise, Murphy and Hall revealed that Anderson was tapped because Paramount Pictures insisted on including a white actor in the cast. In the film, Anderson plays Maurice, an employee at fast-food restaurant McDowell’s.

“I love Louie, but I think we were forced to put Louie in it,” Hall said

Yet Disney's "Song of the South" and its racist imagery can be found in glorious Blu-Ray.

Yes, this is getting not only out of hands, but it is stupid, irrational and selfdestructive.

If we cancell and destroy everything we deem offencive today how will we know the difference tomorrow?

Honestly, is there no middleground anymore? Is everyone gone crazy left and crazy right?

Time to pull the breaks.

Ah, I would have been a bit late then.  The idea was to be the guy selling it for $5893.98 +tax right now.  I don't really want it for myself.

OK, we have a covid pandemic still going on, we still have to distribute vaccines,  The economy is not in great shape.  The stimulus package is in question.  We seem to have forgotten that the Russians hacked into  a good many of our government servers.  We are bombing in the Middle East.  A former president is still telling people without evidence that he won by a landslide.  Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, both Ivy League elites who worship a billionaire elite who actually lives in a country club.   And speaking of worship, the golden Trump idol worshipped at CPAC turns out to have been made in (ready for the irony) CHINA!  Can we not even make a gold colored tacky statue of a former president in America?

Meanwhile we have a day to spend on cancelling Dr. Seuss.  I see it as rather foolish and pointless, but importance wise it could have done with 15 minutes.

The problem I see is that a small group is being allowed to dictate what is offensive and what isn't and no one is being reminded that Offense is Taken Not Given.    It's a choice like any other polarization or manipulation.

I actually think it is a good thing that people are complaining about "Cancel Culture"- it literally means that the biggest problems they are facing right now is whether Mr. Potatohead is a boy or not.  I would rather that was the case then, "Will I die in a civil war?" or "Why are my children starving?"

Good point.  Though, I think there are some that just need their daily dose of rage and righteous anger at the opposition  to reassure them they are the victimized   good guys.

When, in history, were the people banning or burning books the good guys?

 I guess when it is your particular side doing it?

Good and evil are the matter of perspective.  Nazis didn't think they were the bad guys either.

It sure helps with my perspective.   Banning or burning books makes you the bad guys in my opinion.

Nazi's, Conquistadors burning of Aztec and Mayan manuscripts or the idiots who banned The cCatcher in the Rye, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  They are all bad guys.

I guess I could answer your question with an example that no one can dispute:  When we banned pornography depicting children.
