Racism is everywhere.
But nowhere is racism more blatant than in the books of well-known racist Dr. Seuss. His pages were literally dripping with racism, or maybe that was just the barbecue sauce for our chicken nuggies. Even so, barbecue sauce might be racist too, now that we think of it.
Take this Dr. Seuss page out of Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!. It looks harmless, yeah? Well, you’re just showing your internalized racism, because there are literally 17 different examples of racism packed into this illustration. Come on a journey with us as we explore them all.
1. The giant orange beast is obviously a reference to Donald Trump. This glorifies white supremacy and Nazism, as Seuss was alluding to his allegiance to the bad orange man.
2. The pink boot squashing the poor little dude glorifies fascism. A little too obvious there, Fuhrer Seuss.
3. The text implies it’s OK to go to the Right. Like, COME ON! In a children’s book?
4. Zoom in on the tuba. Keep zooming. Keeeeep zooming: IT’S A TINY HITLER, OH MY GOODNESS! Hard to believe Seuss snuck this one past the editors.
Go here to read the rest. I do find this amusing. Theodore Geisel, who died thirty years ago at age 87, was a life long liberal Democrat. The Left always eats its own in the fullness of time. Heresy hunting, ever the favorite sport of Leftists.
As usual, America’s paper of record hits the nail on the head.
A significant portion of the leftist oligarchy is directly, or indirectly, ‘invested’ in the Systemic racism fiction.
The systemic evil afflicting their clients mainly is that they blame someone/something else for their woes. Ergo, their problems never are resolved – which is a feature, not a flaw, of the leftist nightmare: not progress or solutions, power and control.

Irony! Dr. Suess drew Anti-Nazi cartoons in the 40’s. I guess that isn’t good enough of a virtue signal for todays lefty loonies!
Once more with feeling: Close.The.Teachers’.Colleges. Every. Last. One.
@ Art: I’m not sure how teacher colleges have anything to do with this since, from my research, it’s been mainly lefty librarians (whom I believe need an MLIS degree) and LaDawn Jones (BA in English and JD) driving the narrative of racist Dr. Suess, and those in the publishing industry cowering to the narrative. Schools are just following suit on what is the current trend within the SJW psyche.
If the Dr. Seuss narrative was imbedded within curriculum of education majors, or the teachers themselves embedded more wokeness into their teaching materials by their own accord, then I can see where you’d criticize teacher colleges. In this case the stoking of the fire was started by librarians and a Georgia state-level politician.
