Mind, otherwise in the sense of tending to ones business (minding one's business, being nosy or attempting to control), and don't mind as in the sense of not tending to another's business, and not being nosy or not trying to control..

Makes perfect sense. I can see why the leftist hate it.

Let's see. A company that owns all the rights to the Dr Seuss books, stopped publishing 6 out of 60 that were still being published. They did it voluntarily. The 6 books that are not longer being published were very weak sellers.

The conservatives go crazy calling it cancel culture and blaming the democrats. So who is not minding their own business? Who is not trying to control things?

It’s not about conservatives. It’s about Americans opposing censorship. Period.
Those who object to that or excuse the censorship are essentially anti-American.

It is also about Capitalism. Dr Seuss Enterprises has made a killing since announcing the pulling of the 6 books.

But it’s not like they created the censorship as a marketing opportunity.

There was no censorship.

Stopping the sale of those books is censorship.

No, it was a decision based on market forces. The books weren't selling. No one told them, forced them, or coerced them into pulling the books.

Don't you mean a marketing ploy to create controversy to sell more books?

Personally I don't see how anything can possibly go wrong with labeling Dr. Suess' books as racist.

Nothing like taking something that was good and just and a force for good and turning it into something rotten, controversial, disparaging and sinister to make a buck. I think that is a great example for our society to follow.

My Mother read Dr Seuss to us when we were small. I read Dr Seuss to all my kids.

Of the 6 books, I have only read "And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street". And it was iffy, at best. The others I have never heard of.

Its not like they cancelled The Cat In The Hat or Green Eggs & Ham. The books were relative unknowns.

I don't think it really matters to be honest. The name has been tarnished. The pendulum has swung to far and it's going to have to play itself out before sanity is restored.

Funny though how the Democratic Party history is off limits though.

The only ones who see it as tarnished are those who did not understand what happened and just went with a knee-jerk reaction.

What exactly did I miss? Was the stated reason they were no longer publishing those books because they had racist over tones?

Yes, it was. And that the books were not selling.

But the screams from the right were about the cancel culture and the dems.

Company's on bended knee submitting to even a suggestion of racism. Whereas, Marxism is behind it.
You've become a good comrade.

You'd think a 150 year history of slavery, racism, bigotry and segregation with no apologies would have created more offense than six books by Dr. Seuss that had nothing to do with racism.

But that's the world we live in today.

It is sad so many surround the wagons FOR censorship.

Those books would be big sellers today, thus a valuable commodity. If a company has a thing of value and does not publish it because some snowflakes take exception they would sell the rights. Profit is the core of business. Clearly, it is cancel culture.

Evidently, the Seuss organization no longer felt the books represented the quality of goodness they had worked so hard to maintain. They were their books, and the decision was theirs to make. I personally respect their choice, and acknowledge the integrity it takes to make such a choice.

So they needed to say the books had racist overtones to justify their decision?

With such absurd and childish remarks as that, you wanted to debate me? They didn't need to say anything to justify their decision. It was their decision to make.

Knee-jerk reaction? To what is just a coincidence that these books have been around for decades and just happened to be censored at the same time as demmunists have been canceling just about everything else American? What a coincidence!

You are right, they didn't need to but they did and that's why it's fucked up. It appears that they believed they were doing a moral good by disparaging Dr. Seuss. And by golly, everyone look at me. What a good job we did saving us from Dr. Seuss' racist overtones. Give me a break.

Sure, call the police on the President of the United States. I'm sure they care - just tell them he's black.

If only Trump had threatened my life instead of Biden, then maybe the FBI would care.

We should definitely form a mob and start burning books to show the rest of the world how tolerant we are.

You're kinda fucked up, ain't you kid?

AFrench2 has admitted, elsewhere that he's a druggie.

And he certainly comes across as a prime example of what drug abuse can do to you, doesn't he?

And another absurd remark. It is the Seuss organization. They have no reason or desire to disparage themselves, or Dr. Seuss. They responsibly acknowledged that what is acceptable in today's society is different than what was acceptable in times past. The childish, hateful right, which includes you, is just desperately trying to find something to portray liberals in a bad light. You can't twist this incident enough to get the result you hoped for. I would warn you that the longer you continue in this effort, the dumber you will look, but I'm not sure you can look dumber and more childish than you do right now.

Of course they had a reason. They threw Dr. Seuss under the bus to please people like you. It seems to have worked too. Look at how you are defending them.

Are you referring to the Democratic Party here? Because no, they have never acknowledged that at all.

Look at the context of the single sentence you quoted. It was not about the Democratic party. He was referring to Dr Seuss Foundation.

I understand. I drew the parallel. It's incongruent.

No one is "canceling" the Democratic Party even though the Democratic Party is responsible for the problem of racism in America.

Cut dinger some slack. He's trying to hone his "right wing pundit" debating technique. That's where you randomly bounce between related and unrelated subjects till everything is muddled, and anything said about one of the subjects somehow gets applied to all the subjects. I'm sure that if I would have played along with his plan, as I should have, he would have roundly destroyed me by now, just like he promised. His batshit crazy claims are not at fault. I'm just not cooperating as I should. I sorry.

Just looking back over the discussion, and noticed you selectively quoted me out of context. Fix it bitch. I would never challenge someone from the children's table to a debate.
