How is removing a picture of Shakespeare holding back your best people ?Because you are shooting for excellence in the best of everything. Not being very good based on social justice. No back and forth on this. The world is about competition for the best of people especially. It doesn't mean you will get rich. We live in the same nation and Asia is slowly catching up to us and will surpass us within a couple of decades in excellence. Holding back the potential of our best people is suicide.Why is it silly ? Shakespeare doesnt give a fuck, his plays are still performed.There is a war on white people. From every angle accomplishments are being erased slowly. History should be a teacher also. Little things like a few years ago the U of Pa. literature school replaced an artifact/photo of Shakespeare with an African American woman. This is silly.The article highlights the racist roots in the original book. You could argue that it was "of the time" when society itself was backward and unjust .I have some sympathy with that. The UK still had its colonies and the US still treated blacks as non citizens.People can interpret thing in all ways because of the times we live in. So when I watch a commercial and hear white boy this and white boy that I know there is no animosity and hate. And the rap songs, oh the rap songs. And the one way comedy. And movies and TV programs with the same spiel. We have to many people with social justice degrees milking the system with easy lives while promoting racial conflict. Perhaps degrees in real jobs that are needed would improve things for us all. This is not removing obvious racial wrongs, this is removing the identity of the white race. And when it is replaced, you won't like the results.That isnt really what the article is saying. I havent read the books or seen the films so I cant comment on the content, But the writer does raise interesting points.
The literature of the time reflected this.I dont see any great artistic issues with removing racial slurs from kids books like Mary Poppins. But I would have a problem when it comes to great works of art like Huck Finn.
This is not a war on white people.Read the article.
