This guy's blatantly racist mother allegedly had a problem with Dr. Suess forty years ago, and The Atlantic thinks that adds a level of respectability to the idiocy.
His attempt at justification is weak, and his story is probably made up.
She informed me that our childhood was part of an experiment she had envisioned before we were even born. “A Black person’s humanity can never be fully realized in the presence of whiteness,” she explained.
If that line is true, his mother had mental illness.
I can smell the bullsh*t from here
Hopefully Mom didn’t let the kiddies see any photos or videos of blacks rioting.....
that would be a negative stereotype for sure...
Guess the “Reverend Jacksonnnnnnnn” has some ‘splainin’ to do.

Maybe this is satire?
Because blacks in Africa are pure and have utopia.
Every time, the black activists prove their racism while trying to prove other’s racism.
Every
dang
time
Seriously, transpose the word “white” for every recitation of the word “black” and there would be people out calling for this author’s execution. But since he is obviously “black” it cannot possibly be racist.
And “The Atlantic” will not dare let anyone comment on his article, it is gospel now.
the needle on my lie detector just pegged
this sounds like another pile of self-serving BS from one of our professional perpetual victims.
My entire family and extended family is multiracial, multinational and multi-ethnic and has been for better than 4 decades.
This is absolute BS. We read Dr. Seuss to the kids and not one thought it was anything other than a story.
What about the stereotypical cartoons of Cletus Yokel, and the Pogo cartoons which “insulted” an entire class of poor, white Appalachians and southerners?
Pogo had it right: We have met the enemy and it is us.
Atlantic publishes Ta-Nehisi Coates who writes similar crazy stuff.
Both seem to be the African American equivalent of red diaper doper babies,
Somebody has to tell me what was wrong with Dr. Seuss! I do not remember seeing anything objectionable in his writings.
Sounds like mom was a lunatic.
What a liar.
We want fweedum from racust Seuss!

Mom was a Black Racist.
And who was using the word “whiteness” in the 1970s?
These folks don’t just lie.
They come up with false testimonials to buttress them.
In my youth I visited a farm that had been owned by an old school
Dixiecrat who owned slaves.
Sadly, I don’t have to make that up.
Another racist hero.
