Cancel culture—-ON TOPIC

[DriveInDriveOut]

Yep. Nothing wrong about that. Except everything.

And yet you posted it here.
Using your own standards, that would be enough to get you cancelled as a moderator right?

What is that from?

Strange that a moderator would post a picture with that offensive racist word and imagery.

 

[Fred's Myth]

Yep. Nothing wrong about that. Except everything.

But for those of you worried that you’re somehow getting cancelled, there’s this thing called the “internet”. You can find all the racist, vile and reprehensible content you want and even find people who agree with your taste.

So what’s the problem? You don’t have a bedtime story to read to little Erica that properly explains in terms she’ll understand why *s need to be properly segregated from polite society? Good. That needs to be cancelled.

One guess before you open this link.
Which ethnicity suffered this savagery?

If I am able to find it how can it be banned?

I looked it up. It’s from 1929.

That’s not from a Dr. Seuss book, but Seuss did draw that cartoon for a magazine.

 

[Operational needs]

And?

Ancient history. Has no bearing on all his children’s books and the children who have enjoyed them over the years, IMO. We can spend the rest of our lives looking for the Boogey Man in everything from the past, or we can learn from it, celebrate how far we’ve come and move on.

What I said before remains true. Anything “banned” is still readily available.

Honestly get the over it already. White civilization was far superior to black civilization through out the time we are discussing. Just like the mongols were far superior to whites during their hay day.
It’s just a fact Africans didn’t industrialize, didn’t develop their military technology and were at the mercy of Europeans. It could of been a lot worse, europe could of genocided the entire continent and we wouldn’t be having this debate today.

They got steam rolled, their asses kicked, their society destroyed, their people enslaved and developed a reputation for being stupid savages, because for the most part they were compared to Europeans during that time.

It’s stupid to believe all people are truly equal, they are not. Blacks were inferior throughout that time period and all of their civilizations are still paying the price for that. This isn’t an attack on blacks today living in western societies, I believe they are equals to us, I don’t view them as Africans they are westerners with dark skin.

banning books because you don’t like to acknowledge stuff like this is silly. I don’t read history and think man it’s so amazing being a white person we are sooo much better than everyone else. I just look back on it and think white civilization got lucky they didn’t end up like the Middle East/China getting crushed by the mongols.

Ouch!

Back then..most everybody was a racist...we have grown up a lot over the last 90 years.

I believe that Seuss was 22 years old when he drew those advertisements. They are offensive today but was acceptable in their times.

I did a lot of stupid stuff when I was 22 years old also...

It pains me to see so many people who use to be Liberals are compromising their beliefs to accommodate politics.

Spoken like a true cu. K boy with an inferiority complex.

Okay show me the superior black civilization during the 1600-1900’s.
Wakanda doesn’t count homie.

There isn’t one, because they didn’t advance quick enough. One of the best civilizations for adapting to western hostilities was Japan. That’s because they had that bushido mentality and knew what was going to happen if they didn’t once that western battleship showed up to “trade”.

 

[El Correcto]

Japan also turned around and start colonizing China and parts of Asia. Racism was part of that to between Asians. It’s just human nature and certain civilization ended up on bottom to the detriment of the race that built them.

Did you know that when the Spanish conquered the Aztecs they were astonished at the indoor plumbing and waste management? Took that back to Europe. Until relatively recently Europeans used outhouses. Funny how cultures evolve. Minorities lament the evil of the white man but it was different races attacking Europe that caused the Europeans to develop weaponry that along with being 25% of the world's population at the time allowed them to project power and colonize most of the world. Now they're 5% of the world's population and allowing themselves to be overrun.

People/civilizations are not inferior because they don’t meet your standards of “advanced”.
