Racist looks for racism; finds it
When you put a dab of mint under your nose before going into surgery or an autopsy everything smells like mint. The bathroom, your lunch, the stench of the dead...all smells like mint.
Similarly, when a person puts on racist goggles they see everything through the lens of race...all looks racist.

I read somewhere that at least half of all academic papers are read only by the journal editor and peer reviewer. And that half of all academic books have fewer than 10 readers.

They demonized the Tom Swift series of books for kids as being r@cist

So if I actually like the wonderful soulful voice in African American gospel songs and I emulate that in music I make, I’m being “racist”.
No. Copying is the greatest form of flattery, not disdain.
Is Dr. Seuss asking the reader to find disdainful humor (as if laughing at, not with) his characters as not just funny, but stupid funny creatures? No.
I’m really no fan of Dr Seuss, but I’d forever be a bigger fan of Dr Seuss than the idiot “professor” that considers Seuss racist, knowingly or not knowingly.

I love it. Theodor Seuss Geisel was a huge Lefty.
We are at that delicious point where the Revolution eats it’s own.

People dont see the blackface ancestry of the Cat for the same reason that they dont see the blackface ancestry of Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, or the Scarecrow. These images are so embedded in the culture that their racialized origins have become invisible, Nel writes in his book Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Childrens Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books. (sigh)

Are the Who racist? Or is Thing 1 or Thing 2 racist? Maybe the Grinch is racist to the Who? My gosh, is the Red Fish racist towards the Blue Fish. Maybe Dr Seuss was Islamophobic because of ‘Green Eggs and HAM’. I’m confused...
