You do know.  But I need an example of these racist words and pictures in a dr. Seuss book to decide.  Have any?  Really I'd like to know more.

Forget the racial undertones

I honestly don't know how that saying even came to him.

From a quick google search, it's picked up popularity in the last few years in conservative circles as a rallying cry to get African-American voters to leave the Democratic Party.  It was also used as the title of a African-American art exhibit in Charlotte (though I doubt McDermott knew about that). "Off the reservation" was much more common to hear, including from coaches and my boss.

I am 1/68 Mohican (not the last either!) so maybe I should complain about being told that.

they have to sweep and get at least one win in the BET to make it to the tourney. Otherwise, they're probably bound for Texas.

Google "Dr. Seuss political cartoons." There were some pretty explicitly racist anti-Japanese cartoons he drew during WW2.


As for McDermott, if there's a way to survive an incident like this, it's how McDermott is doing it.  The statement from his assistant coaching that says he's never seen any racist energy from McDermott should go a long way too.

Or in the last 2 months when 42 executive orders were signed.

I'll withdraw the question your honor.

The jury will disregard that.

Overruled.

You can thank republicans and the theory of unitary executive theory.

WW II pics?  Dr. Seuss may have been a racist idk .  But his books are the danger.  Any examples there?

I'm not goggling dr Seuss.  I asked someone who already knows they are racist to provide an example of what made them believe that.

but for real, its a non-story, but you know... fox pushed it sooooo here we are!

I'd post a picture or two, but they are very clearly racist images.

[Blackhat]

Which book is the picture in?

[4everwarriors]

Pretty sure Captain Kangaroo is next, hey?

You're asking someone to post potentially racist imagery on Scoop and can't find any takers? Weird.

Anyhow, you do know that this is the Seuss company that has decided to stop publishing these six (out of 45) books, right? If Dr. Seuss is being canceled, it's by Dr. Seuss.

[Hards Alumni]

Which book is the picture in?

Again, do the work yourself if you're going to try to refute that the images exist.  They very clearly do or there would be nothing to talk about, right?  Also, I'm done talking about this since it doesn't even belong here.

[CountryRoads]

Georgetown did everything possible to throw that one away, but looks like they are about to zip up Xavier.

[MuggsyB]

Xavier is not a tourney team.

[Shooter McGavin]

I think Ewing is a hell of a coach.  His teams play well despite being seemingly shorthanded.  If he gets the recruiting going Georgetown will be back in a hurry.

uhhhhh what?

No examples presented or specific books/pages cited?   Disappointing

What would be the point?  You'd just say that they weren't racist, or that they should be viewed through the lens of the time they were written, or you'd point to something else that should be also be removed as long as we are 'cancelling' Dr. Suess.  See, I saved everyone a load of time. 

Don't be so predictable.

Back to the BEAST.

[Blackhat]

I was actually just looking for an example with an open mind.  I'm starting to think people are calling it racist because they were just told so though.

You do realize your post history is publicly available right?  "Open minded" isn't how I think most people would describe you.

[Blackhat]

Please don't try to deflect.  I was looking for an example that's it.

[Hards Alumni]

If you were looking for an example, you could have saved a lot of time by just googling it yourself.  But that isn't what you really wanted, was it?

[Blackhat]

It is what I wanted though.  Somebody to explain why I should/could be upset.  Thought it would be easy for those upset by the books.
