quote:

“There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews,” he told the New Statesman in a 1983 interview. “I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason. I mean, if you and I were in a line moving towards what we knew were gas chambers, I’d rather have a go at taking one of the guards with me; but they [the Jews] were always submissive.”




quote:

After complaining about "those powerful American Jewish bankers," he put a fine point on his bigotry in 1990, saying, “I am certainly anti-Israel, and I have become anti-Semitic.”



We can and should appreciate the children’s literature he wrote and its impact


We should NOT have a day honoring this moral stain of a human being


Props to many fine people on social media spreading this much needed reminder about how tainted his soul was.

After two kids and reading just about the entire collection of children’s books available today I can say one thing:

Dr Seuss books are terrible. They don’t teach kids shite. They have no fricking point. They are just dumb.

Little Blue Truck is tGOAT

Henry Ford published books called "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem" that were Anti-Semite.
