To our credit, Western culture has shifted in only 50 years from high public acceptance of racism and misogyny to almost none. In that time, we went from Rosa Parks to minority and female politicians, astronauts, SCOTUS judges, etc. We all grew up with Dr Seuss in the former group. I remember hearing the N word plenty of times growing up from my peer group's parents and it's almost gone now. At the time socially conscious people were more concerned with nukes (Green Eggs) and logging (Lorax). So don't whitewash the history and don't bury the babies with the bathwater, that was him but it wasn't perceived as good or bad at the time. Now we've shifted from racial tribalism to ideological. This time seems dangerous too.
