Dr. Seuss’s drawing of African natives with mouth rings and grass skirts is not “racist.” On the contrary, it’s an example of the “diversity” that liberals are always saying they are in favor of. Here are some photographs of real life African

Ah. So the real racists are African-Africans.

They found some way to defeat chiggers?

Do you not see these odd squares replacing punctuation symbols?

That's my 'problem'.

Do you seriously think that is typical of how people in Africa dress?

First of all, Dr. Seuss wasn’t racist and neither was drawing African natives whether typical or not.
I like the movie Black Panther and I’m heart broken the star died of cancer.
That recent movie, with a black director, cast and theme, has every one of these stereotypes including the lip rings and grass skirts. They even call one of the heroes “great gorilla” and his tribe goes into battle making monkey sounds.
Because none of those things are racist unless you want to see them as racist.

I’m seeing an ‘a’ with a caret over it instead of a right apostrophe.
A distracting number of them actually.

I think liberals of all colors are embarrassed by the reality of many Africans. It is still a very backward continent.

The reality is that the truth is racist.

It is racist to point out that blacks account for over 50% of homicide and robbery arrests.

It is racist to point out that black average IQ is much lower than whites.

Anyone forcing people to notice this reality will be destroyed by the Left.

It is especially racist to point out the differences between African and European cultural achievements.

Yeah, but your average ‘woke’ lib isn’t trying to gin up the black vote in Ethiopia. The only concern they have for the continent is to pitch our money at it and virtue signal. Wokesters are 21st century snake oil salesmen in a sub-culture that’s awash in it. Book it.

Where did you find that picture of “Cornpop’s daughter”, National Geographic or Biden’s special magazine collection?

[No offense meant to the real Mr. Cornpop who seems like a decent person. It is just that Biden “used” him for his own political and personal enhancement. I was referring to the ears of corn this young African lady was wearing or carrying to market for sale].
