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.
Your Muslim faith banned Dr. Seuss .... not no mama enforced stereotype
“was part of an experiment”
People who have kids to conduct experiments are child abusers.
I cal BS on his rant.
Sorry to tell you, Mr Herriot, but your mother sounds like an ignorant resentful jerk. There is nothing redeeming about this woman. But she’s your mother, so go ahead and lionize her in your mind. I don’t think you will find many others feeling the same way.
Smells like bullsheiss to me.
Although it would explain why this liberal is nuts.
I hope the kids are all well now.
Yeah. Right. This is really believable...
If I’m not mistaken, there was once an episode of “Sanford and Son” when Lamont suddenly got the idea that pork had to be avoided. Sanford thought he was nuts.
Tough, growing up with a mother who is severely mentally ill.
So I guess “Little Black Sambo” was also not on the reading list?
What a loon.
His mom was a horrible mother suffering a crippling mental illness.
He has my pity.

Try this:
During my two weeks in solitary confinement (the maximum sentence imposed under House Court), my mother let me keep the bicycle I stole. To this day, my sisters and I can still enjoy riding it every Christmas morning.
Or this:
During my two weeks in solitary confinement (the maximum sentence imposed under House Court), my mother let me keep the cocaine I bought. To this day, my sisters and I still buy our crack from the same dealer.
Freak show people
All kids have to learn about adversity
Ban Dr. Seuss?
Get a life ya piece of crap.
Go out and find real things to bitch about ya turd.
I think the evidence presented in the story says otherwise.
Put short, your Mom was a nutter... I live in a mutli ethnic nation, but I will ban exposure to the major ethnicity in my house?
Sounds about as Racist as you can get, yet this author tries to argue otherwise.
