Dr. Seuss show...Not until now when you yourself went ah ha as an adult did you inject your opinions that what another human mind meant is what it is. He wrote them not you. Adults are trying to inject racism into everything now. I see his books as including everyone and everything every colour even for eggs. Now what would be said if his books only portrayed white cats and white eggs. You bet for sure you’d be pulling also cause you’d say that’s racist.So which is it an all white Seuss book or one with all colours and things that enable a child like we all were to see it just as a colourful easy to read and interpret book for kids. As a kid did you actually know there are lots of coloured eggs, true fact, and every colour cat, true fact. But I’m sure you knew that cats don’t wear hats and ham isn’t green. And his made up animals are make believe. That’s where he excels in the make believe mind of a child. There are black and white and brown cats period. That’s what a child sees and reads in his books. At least that’s what I saw and I grew up not being racist. Not because of a book. Because of what I was taught. No wonder kids have so much anxiety now a days. Let them learn and grow from their own opinions and mistakes. How many times have you had to say to someone that’s not what I meant. Really hmm well what did you mean. I’m not a mind reader. So who’s right. Did I hear you wrong and you’re right. Or did you really mean it how I heard it. So how you interpret something is how you interpret it. Doesn’t mean that’s what it meant. So until children are old enough for you to introduce what racism is let them be kids, read what we read, play with every colour kid eat every colour vegetable ( cause that’ll be next on the list). Did you know that cauliflower is actually coloured. How dare they alter it to just be white. Now do you eat the coloured, no, because you grew up only thinking the white one was good. Seuss’s mind is Seusses mind. It’s not for anyone to say what he thought when he wrote these. So long story shorter. Thank god for now a days sake he used every colour under the rainbow in his books so that the kids that only liked purple elephants had to adapt to green ones. Can you imagine Seuss books with just white cats and made up animals. No that’s the fun when we read them. I know my kids laughed and said there’s no green ham. Righty oh you caught that one. But did they say mommy why is there a black cat shouldn’t he be white. Or she ( don’t want to be racist against cats) NO of course not. Teach them when appropriate there are all colours, ethnicities and genders of people. That’s all, simple. Don’t start at this young age telling kids this book or show are racist because all colours aren’t included. Cause guess what sometimes there will be just an all whit or black something going on and that doesn’t mean they’re racist cause others aren’t included. But teaching moment, kids you see these guys in white robes covering they’re heads this is what that’s about. My outlook on this should be discussed on your show because what you see ( as an adult) isn’t what I see as an adult or ever as a child. Thanks for reading this 😃
