Is getting cancelled for being insensitive and raycist.

- Six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published because of racist and insensitive imagery, Dr. Seuss Enterprises revealed on Tuesday
- The six books are: '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'
- Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodor Geisel, had been the face of the annual Read Across America day for more than 20 years
- There has been increasing criticism in recent years over the way blacks, Asians and others are drawn in some of his most beloved children's books

It probably has something to do with Trump and Mrs. Trump.

Book bans, anyone?
I heard that one of the books portrayed some Asian people using chop sticks. Well, duh.
Watched a movie the other day that had a disclaimer something like " this movie depicts racial sterotypes that are no longer acceptable" LOL yeah right haha
This is next
just around the corner
People who ban books are ALWAYS on the wrong side of the issue and the grass.

In the AP article I read, they pointed out they were removing Little House on the Prairie books from the library because of how they portrayed native Americans.

I guess my watched auctions are still here to stay
This news brings out the GRINCH in me! 😠 I say we sack Whoville tonight!
Dr. Seuss could be coming out with a new books ..the touchy / feely series... featuring all sexual groups and how to cope in elementary school.
Well they try to leave all the trailblazers whites heroes who are political correct for their time while removing and tearing down any old southern bigotry artists the best they can when they find it. Walt Disney old cartoons are not shown anymore Heck even Sanford and Son is racist and that is coming from black actors ? But of course All in family will run in reruns for ever.
serf
I guess he wasn't able to assuage the libs with his environmentalist nonsense... which by the way, I have no problem it's still in print.

The guy who wrote the books died in 1991 the books are now overseen by Dr. Seuss Enterprises which I am sure is a bunch of libtards who are woke and don't want to stir the pot like the my pillow guy.
It looks like Americans are not going to play:

This is what got all the woke libtard PC * uptight:

This image appears in the 1937 book 'And To Think I Saw It On Mulberry Street', which shows an illustration of a 'Chinaman who eats with sticks' - a caricatured picture of an Asian man with slits for eyes carrying a bowl of rice
This is from a book he wrote in 1937.
I wonder how I would look were I drawn by Dr. Seuss?
Next they'll do The Jerk with Steve Martin.
Or Blazing Saddles

Face it guys ,we are the last generation of dinosaurs. The America of our time is on the fast track of liberalism and all are now "woke" and worshippers at the alter of political correctness . Twain , Faulkner,Hemingway ,Wilder ,Suess and all of the old Disney and Looney toons cartoons are all slated for the dustheap of oblivion . Objective based historical fact now takes back seat to feel good stories . We are doomed !
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Yep, they want to outlaw Huckleberry Finn and his friend Jim. Which tells me they never READ it. Jim was remarkably intelligent and compassionate, and the whole idea of him being in the story is to expose how wrong slavery is and help Huck grow past it.
If anything, that book should be read more, not less.
And yet rappers make millions expressing the notions of killing cops, and using words banished from the "white" vocabulary.
I blame Al Gore for all of this crap, if he hadn't invented the internet, it would have taken thousands of years for this cultural breakdown. 😴 💩

Mr. Potato Head is also on the block!
He will get fried.
If not all ready sesame street should be banned oh my Oscar the homeless fellow living in a trash can how incentive Bert and Ernie the happy couple having to stay in the closet , ms piggy for calling out her weight issues , Kermit being called out for being green . Sam the eagle for having a big beak . the cookie monster for having a eating disorder and so many more . seven foot tall bird sitting unreachable goals for kids
oh please make it stop please our country is so down the creek
libtard ridiculousness
When will this all end Ditch-Runner?
Soon I hope.
who wants to bet me that they will also ban "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein? It is racist, sexist, misogynistic, capitalist, patriarchal....................
How about "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. That is a sexist, racist, patriarchal song if I ever heard one.
I was trying to be sarcastic on the liberal side of making all the bad right wing and history just go away
but I would not mind if they all ( the libtards ) just stopped but that will not happen
I realized that D-R. This would be funny if it wasn't happening to our country.
Even as a kid, I hated all of the Dr. Seuss stories. Green Eggs and Ham was among my least favorite.
trust me I find nothing funny about any of the BS that gets deeper every day quit the opposite really, I stopped watching the news at least backed way off all it does is get me more upset at the stupidity and sheeple destroying our country . they can not even take care of or control a town or state they are in but now want to include us all pulling us down into the darkness with them .
The one that really creeped me out was the pale green pants with nobody inside them.
Twilight Zone???
So men from China are no longer Chinamen? Are they now snowflakes? Sorry Political Correctness is pure fascism, and I ain't having any.
