Most major media outlets try to cover up their ideology. They still push it in articles, but they like to beat around the bush, speaking indirectly and acting a bit timid about pushing their real agenda because of its radical nature.
But you don't see that kind of rhetorical hesitancy at the Huffington Post. Their forces of radical progressivism are always the first to charge over the top of Brokeback Mountain, championing communism and the destruction of our culture and our nation-state, and always with a strong emphasis on sexual deviancy, as befitting a publication named after Arianna Huffington's gay ex-husband. They are so extremely left, and so open about their extremism, that their articles frequently are rich in self-parody.
So, for the first time in a very long while, I found myself surprised by an article in HuffPo talking about an older cartoon drawn by Theodor Geisel, known as "Dr. Seuss," that was racist. And by "racist" I mean, really, really, really racist, in extreme bad taste. The cartoon in question refers to blacks by the n-word, and they are drawn with monkey-like facial features.
So I figured that a radical left publication like HuffPo would be very strong in its criticism of Geisel. But the article actually tried to excuse his behavior, saying:
Filmmaker Ron Lamothe, the man behind "The Political Dr. Seuss," expressed in an interview that biographers deemed Seuss "regretful about some of his cartoons" from the earlier period.

Stupid Question! The answer is “Blazing Saddles.”
Daughter-in-law is Japanese. Tried to learn a little of the language with mixed success. Have visited twice with the help of having family there, so we got to see and do things that most tourists don’t. Most memorable was the house-opening party in rural Shikokulots of beer, sake and mountains of sushi and sashimi. Find the place and people fascinating, but like China, a lifetime is too short to absorb it all.
Because of homonyms in Japanese my user name is either flower water or nose waterI picked snot.
Who is that? White Chocolate?
Especially since the Sneetches is a story against racism or other differences between groups of people. Sad. I will still enjoy his other stories.
I didn’t get the open borders aspect of the Lorax. It definitely speaks to avoiding polluting the earth, which is an excellent message even for those on the right.
Remember that there is an epidemic now of neurological disorders like Alzheimers that may well be caused by industrial pollution, plastics being breathed and ingested, who knows? Keeping the earth clean enough for human health IS a conservative value. Keeping people from water because of a stupid fish going extinct is a liberal environmental value.
I recall it being common when I grew up
it means something is not right
it is similar to “something is rotten in Denmark”
I don’t ever remember it referring to a multiracial bastard child

Nice name. I am married to a Japanese and work as a translator, myself.
Tell it to Mark Fuhrman.
If blacks can use the term repeatedly in rap songs broadcast over the radio, whites should be able to use it as well.
whites should be able to use it as well.
I am white and I use it.
I use it to refer to white niggers as well as black niggers.
Niggers in my vocabulary are low life thieving people that cannot be trusted. They come in all shades of colors.
I learned this from a black maid that worked in our household when I was young.
At least they were “high grade”...
Lol, I learn something new every day.
“the destruction of our culture and our nation-state”
Many of us have commented on the death of the Republic. The notion is still an outlier, though, so it’s bracing to see the casual use of “our nation-state” as a given.
And pre L.B.J.:
I believe that every man is pretty much created equal except for niggers and Chinamen. - Harry Truman
I don’t need permission
“I believe that every man is pretty much created equal except for niggers and Chinamen. - Harry Truman”
I had forgotten that....thanks for the laugh.
call a spade a spade
Apparently not.
The “Woodpile” is a reference to the family tree, if you follow all the branches you soon end up with misch-mass that resembles a pile of wood dumped out of a wagon. And the N-word in the pile is a reference to the idea that if you could trace a family tree back far enough you’d find that we are all related.
