Don’t get trapped arguing whether Dr. Seuss is racist.

Alas they’ve come for Dr. SEUSS, they wish to hang him with a noose.

They claim his tales were racist bent, they judged him fast, missed what he meant. But if we look inside his tales, you’ll find the balance of the scales.

Remember when Horton heard a Who, and we heard the wisdom of the Lorax too.

The lesson behind Green Eggs and Ham, that changed the mind of Sam I am. Remember too the rotten Grinch, who once would never give an inch. He taught us lessons, one and all, boys and girls, big and small. So if you’ve judged his works as poor, you should re- read them, I implore. The man we know as Dr. SEUSS, turned our imaginations loose. His impact was beyond compare, he taught us it was good to care. To accept the red, the blue, the green, and on each other we can lean. So if you still won’t give an inch, your heart has hardened like the Grinch. Release the grudge, the hate, the rue, and embrace the hope of Cindy Lou.

Wonderful post...

I ain’t losing nothing. You’re losing cause you keep picking pointless hills to die on. Really, have you EVER heard of those books before? I didn’t. Then why do you care? Oh yeah, that way you can get all pissy and moany. Let’s face the reality of the situation is the Seuss trust looked at the sales, said “nobody buys these books anymore, we should discontinue them, but we need a good excuse, oh look ‘questionable’ art, bingo!” They just pulled bad selling crap off the market, a normal business decision. But you decided it must be FOUGHT, and you lost a fight that never needed to happen. You lost even before you decided to fight it. But your panties are twisted just how you like so that makes you feel important. You’re not.

Yes.

I didn't. Then why do you care?

Ah, so you are the person through which all should view the world. There are undoubtedly many books in the world that you are totally ignorant of so their being vanished is ok. Fascinating concept from a supposed conservative.

BS.

Total lie.

But you decided it must be FOUGHT, and you lost a fight that never needed to happen.

Once again. Nope. But you just keep on going.

Back at you. You just love the taste of leather and boot polish.

How many times have you bought those books for kids or grandkids? I’m still betting zero.

Not BS. We know how business works. Unsuccessful products get pulled all the time. Earlier this week Heinz introduced a bunch of condiments that all look gross and have terrible names and will get pulled from the market by the end of the year.

Not a lie. And you know it.

Just pointing out basic reality. A company I don’t do business with is choosing not to sell products I don’t want to buy. I didn’t lose anything. And neither did you. You weren’t buying those books anyway. I know it, you know. Getting bothered about this is concern trolling at best. Face it, if they’d just said “nobody buys these, we’re pulling them” you wouldn’t care. But because you’re addicted to being anti SJW you now MUST GET ANGRY. Over something completely stupid. You’re the one eating boot polish, because you’re the one being led around by your addiction to anger. I’m advising to actually use your brain, understand what actually happened, and move on with your life. Save your outrage for something outrageous.
