"nuffin else to see here folks, move along now."
 
I see no reason to hold Dr. Seuss to some higher standard like he's above the other ppl doing this. Nor am I surprised in the least bit. As said this wasdone for a reason during that time and I'm not sure I disagree with it.

I can find out Barney is a Klan member and I wouldn't bat an eye. This is the American way.
 
I wasn't in the wrong at all. Nothing I said would have been out of line had it been directed at a "regular" NTer, so I think its fine when therecipient happens to be someone else.
 
i get teased for being asian everyday.

The black people in my school think they can say any racist jokes just because there ancestors went through slavery...

I was looking for the joke in your post. Maybe I missed it.

I'm still waiting for somebody to give me an answer - you all sit here and pretend I'm silly for asking such a (in your minds) simplequestion, but nobody can give me a simple answer.

Is it offensive because it uses stereotypes? Okay - so are you offended by all stereotypes? Why is a stereotype offensive to you? Aren't they based outof SOME truth? Isn't that the essence of a stereotype? Which parts of these cartoons really upset you all? I think maybe...some of you...not dirtyspecifically... but some of you... don't' know why you're offended at all, and therefore, probably aren't but rather think you should be.

I'm not offended, my thoughts are more sided with Ninjahoods.. I can definitely see how this would be offensive and to even act like whats the big deal?Has got to be insulting.. Its just messed up for you to act like its not offensive..
