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.

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 hates Dr. Suess, 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted March 3, 2021 Author #284 Share Posted March 3, 2021 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 https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-03-02/eddie-murphy-arsenio-hall-coming-to-america-paramount 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatetopa Posted March 4, 2021 #290 Share Posted March 4, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?" 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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