I think you would be correct.
Indeed note post #2
His mother was Atticus Finch? Too bad the son turned out to be a soy boy douchebag.
Wasn’t Green Eggs and Ham a story to teach kids to be open about trying new things?
I guess openness and tolerance are now racist qualities.
The way the left is going, there will not be a single positive human character trait that is not racist.
And this guy is obviously making up a false story to fit the current narrative. Forty years ago, anyone who wanted to teach their kids to be literate read to them from Dr. Seuss. Perhaps this guy’s mother did not want him to be educated, because being educated is “acting white”?
More than one.
Christian groups that do not eat pork:
Seventh-Day Adventists
Hebrew Roots Movement
Messianic Judaism
Ethiopian Orthodox
Eritrean Orthodox
Statistically, it is most probable that the author is referring to a Seventh-Day Aventist church.
Hillary's M.O., and apparently Kamazuela's as well (think Kwanzaa story here.)
They fool almost nobody who can read, think and reason.

BS
Jews who didn’t want to live in a non-Jewish society founded Israel as a sanctuary. My great uncle who came from a mountain village in Austria felt that urban USA was hopelessly corrupt, and returned to live out his years in his original town.
I’m not being flippant - if she feels this way, why not take entire family to Ghana or Nigeria and raise them there?
“A black person’s humanity can never be fully realized in the presence of whiteness.”
In other words, whiteness is so superior it prevents blacks from developing.
This is the most lame excuse yet. Blacks that truly believe that nonsense need to relocate to a black society where there is little or no exposure to whites. Africa comes to mind. There they would only have to contend with the Chinese colonizers.
The author is the product of a racist mother & is a racist herself!
No, statistically and with a communist-activist mother, it’s much more likely he’s a Nation of Islam subversive that has been programmed to destroy this country. Nice try though; why don’t you just link to Snopes next time?
Michael, sounds like your mom was a real pain in the ass, bless her heart
That could be true, or the person objecting to Dr. Seuss in 1980 could be a leftist anti Semite, or a member of the Nation of Islam or a similar group who happened to be anti-Semitic (and anti pork).
In this case the author's mother seems to be opposed to pork which is certainly an unusual religious belief among common Christian congregations in the southern USA. To my knowledge only Seventh Day Adventists abstain from eating pork.
You are correct however in saying that in 1980 people opposed to Dr. Suess would have most likely been opposed to his generally liberal views.
Mom sounds like a Joanne Chesimard wannabe in this sad tale from the disastrous ‘70s.
That was my point. He's claiming this was his mother's point of view 40 years ago. He's making it up. Leftists hadn't risen to this level of stupidity yet.
My Mom and Dad tried their best to keep me open minded, but real life in public school probably closed it a bit.
did anyone read little brown cocoa book? it was my favorite and didn’t turn me against blacks. anyone see Amos and Andy? on tv and on radio before tv.. my little Margiez?
Mom was a lunatic or the author is a liar. Either outcome is not complinentary.
