Two more 'white racists' join an illustrious cohort

After the Coca Cola Company issued a memo to its white employees not to behave in a "white way," you probably thought cancel culture couldn't get more idiotic. Well, you were wrong.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company that publishes Dr. Seuss' children's books, said it will stop selling six of his titles because they contain racist and insensitive images. The firm saidĂŠit scrapped the books because they "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."

Our beloved Dr. Seuss has at long last been outed as being a white supremist. Just another colonial racist making millions off the backs of poor, disenfranchised minorities. Making this slap in the face to Dr. Seuss even a bit nastier, the company issued the statement last Tuesday, on the author's birthday.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises said it decided last year to stop publishing and licensing the titles -- which include "If I Ran the Zoo," "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," "McElligot's Pool," "On Beyond Zebra!," "Scrambled Eggs Super!" and "The Cat's Quizzer" -- after consulting with a panel of so-called educators and other morons in academia.

In one example, the book "Mulberry Street," was the first children's book Seuss published in 1937. The "experts" and "educators" claim the book contains a controversial illustration of an Asian man dressed in Chinese clothing holding chopsticks and a bowl of rice whom the text called a "Chinaman who eats with sticks."

Well, excuse me, but Chinese people in 1937 actually did dress in Chinese clothing and ate rice with chopsticks. Also, in 1937 the term Chinaman was not considered any more derogatory than calling a Brit an Englishman, or a man from Ireland and Irishman. But hey, don't remind us of that, we're changing history here.

Even our Idiot-in-Chief, President Biden avoided mentioning Dr. Seuss in his presidential proclamation for Read Across America Day, and a Virginia school district ordered its teachers to avoid linking the day with the late writer because research has shown "strong racial undertones" in many of his books.

"Cancel Culture" is going on all over the place, and it doesn't look like it will stop any time soon. "Cancel Culture" is nothing more than a modern term for censorship; the banning of books, movies, art, and freedom of speech when it doesn't comport with leftist, elite doctrine. Fascist, communist, and other totalitarian dictatorial governments have engaged in this for decades, but as we now see it doesn't always emanate from oppressive laws and edicts mandated by a structured governmental regime.

Today in our country censorship is coming out of a leftist politically correct mindset, just as insidious and just as evil as any totalitarian government. When censorship and bans are imposed by private businesses, organizations, the press, social media, and other entities the result is the same as governmental oppression. Suppression of thought, silencing freedom of expression, speech restriction, book banning, and rewriting history becomes the normative way of life. In short, we have "cancel culture."

The Walt Disney Company has embraced this for a long time now. They long ago pulled the Academy Award winning, "The Song of the South" out of the marketplace. They took out all references of the picture from their theme parks and publication activities.

So far they have allowed most other Disney pictures with racial, ethnic, and other non-politically correct references (such as smoking) to be distributed and marketed, albeit with disclaimers at the start of the films.

But it's only a matter of time before they ban those too.

The latest being a content disclaimer to the beginning of 18 episodes of "The Muppet Show" which started streaming on the Disney Plus platform on Friday. It reads: "This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now," the disclaimer reads. "Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together." What a pile of B.S.

But it's only a matter of time before The Walt Disney Company completely bans even the pictures with the disclaimer attached. All it would take is a couple of negative comments on social media and you'd be surprised how fast more than half of the Disney animated library would be gone from public view forever.

Dr. Seuss and Walt Disney. Just a couple more white racists who have joined George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as the latest to be cancelled in 2021 America.
