Aren’t most of the Asian incidents perpetrated by young black men? Is that the new face of MAGA?

A whopping 12% of black men voted for Trump. Nice try.

Yet another foolish comment, trying to blame President Trump for something, anything, that goes sideways in America, at the present time......

As for Dr. Seuss, several things. First, it's just false to say "there isn't a racist thing" about him. Go look up his WW2-era political cartoons. Here's an example of him claiming that Japanese Americans were disloyal Fifth Columnists and liberally using the buckteeth trope.

To be fair, I believe people should be judged by the standards of their times, and also, later in life Dr. Seuss apologized for his wartime cartoons. So I agree that the books shouldn't have been pulled, which gets us to...

...Second, there doesn't appear to have any #wokemob that called for the books to be removed. It was apparently Dr. Seuss's Estate that voluntarily agreed to pull 6 of his books. That's their business decision; it doesn't mean they got #cancelled by some external force.

So to be clear, I'm not calling you "paranoid" about #cancelculture. But I am calling you a wimp for being too afraid to just be yourself.
Let him come to C-D for the free therapy. That's what most posters do.
