Anyone have a link to the racist images in the 6 books? So far all the articles I’ve seen just reference the books?

[LuFins Dad]

BWAHAAAAHAAAAA! I knew it!

I thought to myself, I need to find copies of these before they disappear! Sure enough...

[LuFins Dad]

I found a copy of McElligott’s Pool on Amazon for $24 but the app wouldn’t let me buy it...

[LuFins Dad]

Barnes & Noble has them listed as available but won’t let you order!

I HAVE A QUEST!!!

Dr Seuss was big when I was a kid but by the time our kids came along it was more of a memory lane thing than part of the rotation..

I was able to purchase the Season 1 DVD of Hong Kong Phooey, though!

Why is it that almost all big American companies seem to be run by super-woke liberals?

Because the conservatives who run their big companies don't make the news as much.

Banning a few books that nobody reads anyway is a very cheap and easy way to ensure that they don't lose any business, and appear to be woke, whilst quietly making tons of cash using off-shore sweatshops and paying dreadful salaries to a bunch of drones that nobody really cares about.

To be honest, if they drop a couple Seuss books with dodgy depictions of Asian people, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

For Americans, it's probably safer to post an image of Mohammed than to post an image the woke have deemed inappropriate.

But wait, if it’s depictions of Asians, we should be good...They’re white adjacent...

Not anymore. A lot of Asian SJWs are claiming put-upon status and pointing to incidents of anti-asian hate crimes for proof that whites hate them just as much as they do blacks and latinos. Makes sense from their perspective; quite obviously the worst thing to be associated with in America today is whiteness. They're all just so evil, right?

Look in any Seuss book, it is loaded with racism.

Too many whites

White people = racism

Screenshot of the article, then post like any picture.

I suppose Curious George is next?
