eBay Cancels Dr. Seuss, But Allow These 5 FAR WORSE Books To Be Sold
We all saw last week how the Cancel Culture took aim at the beloved Dr. Seuss and effectively canceled six books of his, no longer to be produced.
We started seeing the prices for those books skyrocket, but then we started seeing platforms take those book listings off their sites.
For example, eBay confirmed that they were removing those books because they contain “offensive material”.
eBay states that any “Listings that promote, perpetuate or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination, including on the grounds of race, ethnicity, color, religion, gender or sexual orientation, aren’t allowed.”
According to their policy, books that contain the following are not permitted to be sold on eBay:
- Slurs or epithets of any kind
- Slavery items, including reproductions, such as tags, shackles, documents, bills of sale, etc.
- Items with racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise demeaning portrayals, for example through caricatures or other exaggerated features, including figurines, cartoons, housewares, historical advertisements, and golliwogs
- Black Americana items that are discriminatory
- Confederate battle flag and related items with its image
- Historical Holocaust-related and Nazi-related items, including reproductions
- Any item that is anti-Semitic or any item from after 1933 that bears a swastika
- Media identified as Nazi propaganda
- Listings that imply or promote support of, membership in, or funding of a terrorist organization
Okay, then how do they make sense of this…there are still multiple books on eBay that are FAR worse than Dr. Seuss (mainly because there is nothing wrong with Dr.Seuss) yet they are still available for purchase on eBay.
Some of these books that are present on eBay are Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, The Communist Manifesto, My Awakening by David Duke, and several speeches from Louis Farrakhan who is a well-known anti-Semite.
Let’s continue to pray for the end of the Cancel Culture so we can get rid of this revisionist history mindset that liberals have developed.
