It's not hurting anyone, even Aunt Jemima's family wanted to know what the heck they were removing her for. Our past is our past and no matter how many books you ban or statues you remove or people you take off of labels, our history will remain.Magical Mystical Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228001451063803421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-28507513689915005892021-03-03T20:31:11.437-05:002021-03-03T20:31:11.437-05:00There are six Seuss books which have been 'ban...There are six Seuss books which have been 'banned'. I own five of them. To be sure, the pictures in question are pretty cringe-worthy by today's standards - Thick-lipped Africans with bones in their noses, Asians with uber-slanted eyes and buck teeth, and such-like. But they are also what I consider to be Dr. Seuss' best books, fostering imagination and creativity, and helping young readers to 'think outside the box'. So, you take the bad with the good. . .<br /><br />The thing is, the 'cancel-istas' seem not to realize the weakness and futility of their approach, nor do they seem to realize that previous attempts at book-burning have only served to increase curiosity and demand for the 'banned' books.<br /><br />I told my kids that I'm going to store my copies of the 'banned' books in a glass case filled with nitrogen, so they can get rich selling them on the black market after I'm dead. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389193386974951036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-84280509099903032942021-03-03T01:40:52.807-05:002021-03-03T01:40:52.807-05:00I remember when book-banning used to upset people....I remember when book-banning used to upset people.

My grandkids loved Dr Seuss and reading his books certainly hasn't done any of them any harm. They are all well-adjusted adults now.

We then tell them the latest thing that is fashionable to be offended about. One day it is fashionable to be offended about one thing, the next day the fashion has changed and people should be offended about something else. Think about it. We could encourage our members to be offended about the latest trend. We could prepare a list of the 10 most popular offendable topics. The possibilities are endless. <br /><br />God bless.<br /><br /> Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
