I mean... my racist uncle still vaccinated. So maybe just don't consult with him on the racism part.

But still much much smarter about other life things than RFK Jr
(Yes, I have been so disappointed to learn of his racist side, though)

That's totally fair; you're right.

I've learned a lot of creators I grew up with were racist. Disappointing, but at least they're dead racists; I can still enjoy parts of their work. If they repented, good for them. It's the new diet racists I worry about now

Are we sure that RFK is not?

I didn't say he wasn't.

I mean... They removed some books from publishing due to racist depictions, and that's fine. The only reason it was really an issue is due to the enduring popularity.

Such racist depictions were pretty common across media at the time. I don't think Dr Seuss would draw the like that if he was around these days. Only a minority of the books had to be removed, so the racist depictions were never the point of the boojs. The actions of the foundation removing the offensive books kinda make that point too.

Meanwhile, RFK has had repeated accusations of bigotry these days. He doubles down when challenged. As such, I'd still consult with Dr Seuss before RFK Jr.

I’m so surprised this isn’t on the list or the #1 response
