You are impossible. They are not promoting it because of the Twitter mob. Cancel Culture 101.In your mind. But many may disagree. As I said, I don't care but many find the gay lifestyle offensive. So should we ban everything with gayness in it?No. You are now lying.I did not avoid it. I said I don't want to condemn anything. Want to discuss gayness go for it. My 7th grader has two trans kids in her class.I never said it could make my kid gay? You need to learn to read. My point is we are picking and choosing what is and isn't offensive.Because its a fake world. It isn't real. Show proof that Dr. Seuss has ever made a kid a racist.As have I. You are obtuse and refuse to see my side of the debate. You just dig your heels in. Nothing gets resolved that way. I see your POV and vehemently disagree with it as is my right but I understand. You refuse to see my POV and just dismiss it.One in a comedic way and one is a divisive hateful way. There is a massive difference. Airplane was a funny movie but played on stereotypes. Should it be banned?Stereotyping and anti Semitic behaviors aren’t one in the same. We are too easily offended.It is a slippery slope. Stereotypes are there for a reason. Many anti Jewish stereotypes and I do not want any of them banned. Not one.It’s the principle. That’s what you don’t seem to understand.And I wouldCan stereotypes be racist?
No.
Really?
There was nothing racist in blackface?
No more than in a brawling Irish drunk. Stereotypes are caricatures based upon observed common behaviors and impressions. If you feel one applies to you and take issue, perhaps it is you that is the problem, and not the stereotype.
A brawling Irish drunk indeed could be one. I do recall cartoons with such stereotypes. If the owners of those kinds of media decided to not reproduce them for kids. I would have no problem with that.
Buy the rights and reproduce it then.Just because I have an issue with it doesn’t mean I need to buy the rights, I can just defend theirs.And I wouldCan stereotypes be racist?
No.

Go for it. What they do with their property is really none of your business.
Continuing to promote racist stereotypes is a principle to you?
Great. Many Jews do.
Jews are condemning anti-semitism all the time. They make many good points.
Of course they are. They both are designed to put others down.
I've addressed this already.
Make a valid point as to why elementary age children should be shown blacks portrayed as monkey's.
He enforced racist stereotypes. I find it odd that you say this while supporting the idea that someone gay can make your kid gay.
Do they promote that the idea of being gay is normal for them? Absolutely. You don't want to discuss that though.
Avoid the question......
You brought it up. You condemned it.
My point was who gets to pick and choose what is and is not offensive.
Facts are not offensive in the way we are speaking.
People are offended that the country didn't buy the "steal the election" idea. No we should not ban simple facts. If a book publisher no longer wants to promote racist stereotypes that is their business.
