In this weeks episode we talk about the recent news regarding Dr. Seuss & the cancelation of his books. Many of Dr. Seuss's books, illustrations & advertisements were filled with racist stereotypes, minstrel shows, anti Semitic & especially anti African America & anti Asian American. Many of us, honestly most of us, have ready a Dr. Seuss boom while we were youngsters & had no idea the content we were absorbing. So much subliminal racism & hidden examples of prejudice towards minority groups cam from someone people idolized & loved for so many years & had no idea.
So the questions comes down to, How do we as a society learn to separate art from artist? Much like hitler being an extremely talented painter & a murderous mad man. Dr. Seuss created some of the greatest children's books of all time (minus the ones with racism in it). Let us know what you think!
