With the beloved children?s author Dr. Seuss being the latest on the chopping block of what is being called ?cancel culture,? it is once again worth taking a look at things historically. First, was Dr. Seuss racist? Yes. I have not even investigated the supposedly racist books, but I know he is a product of his time. In fact, if we have to ask of any historical personality, author, singer, actor, or politician before a certain time, if they were racist or sexist, then the answer is yes. Every time, yes. I am not saying they wore a white sheet and burned crosses, but by the standards of our time, every historical figure said or did something that was acceptable at their time but not in ours.
