These people are literally demented.

Sure, EVERYTHING can be racist if you want it to be. . .


I read this on this Forum somewhere - "Racism is in high demand but low supply." It is no wonder there are so many counterfeit examples making the news. Peanuts has been around for 71 years - if THIS is the best they can come up with in all that time, they are truly grasping at straws.


Just remembered Apple+ has a new Peanuts show coming out. I'm betting the leftists will let this one slide, in order to prevent Apple from taking a financial hit.

It's these Twitter leftist/Marxist shitheads that do this, it's a tiny minority that hate American culture but social media amplifies them and makes people and corporations think it's millions and they panic and do these kneejerk reactions like pull Dr. Seuss books.

I'll bet you it's less than a thousand people out of 330 million.

Facebook...Twitter...it's all a cancer. Frown

I still have Dr Seuss books. I read them to my kids when they were young.

Should be worth a lot of money on the black market.

Cultural appropriation?

Well, apparently it has nothing to do with educating the children how to read anymore. Let's teach them about inclusiveness and diversity shall we...bunch of slack jawed faggots. Big Grin

First, don't teach white supremacy math, now back off on reading. Roll Eyes

In a WWII documentary, they interviewed an older lady who grew up in Hitler's Germany. Reportedly Hitler commented to less than supporting parents, as he was transitioning to his dictatorship, along the lines of "you don't have to agree with what we are doing, I already have your children", ie, your children are already brainwashed.

I have a copy of the 1943 movie "Hitler's Children", which, although an RKO propaganda movie, describes the methods the Nazi's used at that time to control a childs's thoughts.

WSJ News Exclusive | Jeep-Owner Stellantis Is Open to Dropping Cherokee Name, CEO Says

Sorry, don't have link, pay wall.

The head of Jeep’s owner said he is open to dropping the Cherokee name from vehicles after recent criticism from the Native American tribe’s leader.

Carlos Tavares, chief executive officer of the recently formed Stellantis NV, said the company was engaged in dialogue with the Cherokee Nation over its use of the name. Jeep has two models, the Cherokee compact sport-utility vehicle and larger Grand Cherokee, that it sells in the U.S. and beyond.

Asked in an interview if he would be willing to change the Jeep Cherokee’s name if pushed to do so, Mr. Tavares said, “We are ready to go to any point, up to the point where we decide with the appropriate people and with no intermediaries.”

“At this stage, I don’t know if there is a real problem. But if there is one, well, of course we will solve it,” Mr. Tavares said, adding that he wasn’t personally involved in the talks.

Debate over the Cherokee name is among the issues facing Mr. Tavares, who took control of Stellantis when it was formed earlier this year from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Peugeot-maker PSA. In the interview Wednesday, Mr. Tavares also discussed whether to cut down on the company’s 14 brands, making Fiat plants more competitive and his plan to stick with China.

Dr. Seuss did quite a few overtly racist cartoons and political comics around WWII, mostly anti-Japanese stuff. Of course, at the time we were interning Japanese citizens.
He became a liberal about the time Nixon ran for office, and I believe campaigned for McGovern.

The stuff they say is racist now is quite tame by comparison.

Maybe Jeep should offer reparations.

Fuck political correctness and fuck wokeness even harder. I wish these assholes would all just jump into a big wood chipper and do this planet a fucking favor. There is enough suffering here we don’t need these perpetually insulted assholes farming any more victim bullshit. Nope. They just all need to collectively shut the fuck up. Failure to do so should result in a one way trip into a volcano. It might be the only way to stop the drought. We won’t know for sure until we try.

So if they are offended by Dr Seuss, why are they not outraged at rap music lyrics?

I find rap music lyrics to be absolutely obscene and disgusting.

And yet a man gets “elected” POTUS when he says this:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Apparently two of the "offensive" pictures in some of the books were a Chinese man in a conical hat eating out of a bowl with chopsticks and two barefoot Africans in what "appears to be grass skirts".

So isn't calling that "offensive" actually offending those cultures?


My wife and I had this same conversation.....

This PC / cancel fascism must be stomped out. History and books we thought were fiction show us where it leads.
