In otder to offend someone within a group or individually three things are needed a perpetrater, a target, and an audience
There may be a perpetrator and an audience, but unless the target carries the insult, there will be no offence.
Deliberate offenses can be recognized by an excuse before the statement. or a pre emptive strike you could call it.
To say " no offense" literally means, the intentions are there and are being masked by ignorance, or an apology all with the purpose of putting the offense onto the target making it their fault they were offended and not the perpetrator
The intent to offend is basic, and boils down to pecking order or an attempt to place oneself at a level where they have a following or an audience to feel superior.
my intent. was to illustrate offence.
to help. someone. who apparently. didn’t quite grasp it.
to do so i used an offensive word. it was very very clearly not directly aimed at anyone, or portrayed as acceptable to use in this way or to describe travellers in general.
like i said, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re wrong. you can’t read my mind.

Don't believe these leftist and their deconstructionist jive. They wish to rewrite history, especially their own, and tear down all tradition and past standards. This is currently pushed by white elitist democrats, whom have absolutely no room to talk about anything. If we are now to remove everything that is connected, as they see it, to bigotry... Then let's begin with the piece of shit Jim Crow Democrat slave party. This Klan party did all the fuckery from founding the slavery party, instigating all post civil war racist laws to just recently being caught doctoring evidence in their sham impeachment.
Cancel the democrat party, founder of institutionalized racism in America. If Seuss must go then they absolutely must be banned....

am actually tired of all this bullshit jb. Ethan had every right to be offended and expect an apology. never once did i so much as imply otherwise.
if the frank explanation of my thought process is taken as trying to excuse being intentionally offensive, then you do you. and furthermore if you want to try and decry me as racist but have no problem or issue with others who time after time blatantly are, then fuck off.

Sheesh; anna. That is NOT what he was saying at all. I get that you're tired of the BS, but some people have stood by you in regards to that. JB is one of them.
it's too damn beautiful a day for this shit. You shouldn't feel the need to defend or explain yourself to anyone judging you. Period.
* fucking off *

I don't blame you.
Let me let you in on a little secret that might ease your weariness.
Some people like to feign outrage to make other people look bad, especially on the Internet. It's a strategy of causing one or more to fret over their self image.
Keep that in mind the next time you find yourself in a similar situation.
I will say no more in public.

Exactly.
If you used the Mindtrain post I quoted as "an example of Hateful Shit" to a Democrat, you aren't going to see that Democrat curl up into a fetal position and condemn you.
And yes, it's too damn beautiful a day for such.

like i said, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re wrong. you can’t read my mind.
I’ve took some time to think about this. I think the example was pretty spot on in that given my nationality it should have caused me to think
just to answer the question which was posed:
“how would you feel if you had to explain to your children...” is a fair question.
I’ve been both the child and the adult in that scenario. can’t really remember how I felt as a child, probably angry and sad
as an adult I was kinda happy my kids asked and I felt a responsibility to not radicalise them. I do get the point you are making. I didn’t have a specific object like a book illustration
worked in London 1990, the last few “no blacks no dogs no Irish” signs on shops were around but apart from that I didn’t really experience much negativity. usual bits and pieces on building sites, but I’d give it back
as it happens, the word which did cause offence to Ethan has been recognised as a hate word since 2010 in the UK. I didn’t know that.
I’ve thought about that too, and a lot of the stuff which was shouted at me over the phone later that evening. couple of things I shouldn’t have done. I should definitely have taken Ethans feelings into account and given what he said more credence. I opologize for that, and also to Missy for my shitty responses
and obviously to Anna for being a cunt

Misled is a matter of opinion, some people genuinely believe those books are racist.
Doctor Seuss Enterprises could have simply stopped printing the books or said they didn’t sell well. I think they seized an opportunity to cry “racism” at a point in our history when right wing media is full of easily manipulated snowflakes.

All they did was announce the discontinuation of six of their least popular titles due to “racism”. I have two of those six books at home, talk about storm in a tea cup, they aren’t particularly racist, what they are is sub-par, his other books are so much better. Of course that triggers the right wing media cry babies to denounce this as akin to book burning. This of course is supported by their brainless right wing trolls on social media platforms, Internet forums etc. screaming nonsense like cancel culture, Fascism etc. Then we have the left wing cry babies fighting with the right wing cry babies, turning this into a major problem.
It’s a non-issue. Meanwhile, Doctor Seuss Enterprises rides the huge wave of free advertising all the way to the bank.
Genius.
"Deleting books is a NON-ISSUE" you say. ...
The actual story is the publisher along with a group of "experts" decided to remove several titles that now offend bitches on the left. These books were not offensive for decades until the pussy generation and history revisionist Marxists decided to "act" like they are now a problem. Leftist must manufacturer racism since they have run out of fodder. Several years of racism hoaxes one after another is proof enough for non leftists. Leftist however, swallow every new fable hook, line, and sinker and spit a thousand excuses why they are a non issue.

Conjecture is a snowball rolling down a hill that only gets bigger until it's believed as truth. Their intentions were more than likely honorable. Choosing to do it quietly would've only garnered criticism later down the road when someone discovered it. And they WOULD'VE discovered it.
I don't see any other way but to be upfront and honest about it regardless of the backlash.

I said this is a non-issue, not that deleting books was a non-issue. I was talking about this specific case where a company, of their own free will, decided not to publish something. This is not about censorship or book burning, which is something governments do.
The rest of what you wrote is hateful incoherent rambling that I can’t be bothered responding to.

You are goddamn right I am hateful. I hate idiots that stand up for censorship with bullshit rationales...The government has nothing to do with this.

The library states..."As with most all public libraries, we do not censor books"
I stand with the libraries...The true defenders of literary free speech and I spit at any leftist fuck that accepts book censorship simply because their elite controllers told them to obey.
I am at total war against this bullshit...Make no mistake. If it is sounds hateful. So be it... Those that censor ideas also murder and jail their opposition.
Ignorance of history is at the root of this madness. Intellectual civil war will be the result.

apology seen im just sorry this caused Ethan so much distress
@a my response wasn’t particularly aimed at jb tbh it was a bit of a vent x
HOWEVER
racial prejudice and personal insult, whether based on political affiliation or anything else, are just not fucking comparable. they do not live on the same planet.
(in runaways post i can see he has expertly blended the two to confuse them)
