   Hartung is irrevocably divorced from rationality.

   I already *fully* explained Hartung's claim:   
      
       "Nothing I have ever seen in any Dr. Suess book is in any way racist."   
      
   There are *only* two possible explanations for this nugget of bullshit:   
      
       1.  Hartung has seen the obviously racist depictions in Seuss books,   
           recognizes that they are racist, and is simply — and typically —   
   lying.   
      
       2.  Hartung, a racist raised in a racist culture whose parents and   
   community   
           assiduously indoctrinated him in racist thinking and reinforced it   
           constantly, is utterly incapable of recognizing racist portrayals.  To   
           him, racist portrayals of non-whites are simply "normal."   
      
   I'm 99% certain it is the latter.   
      
   The caricature "Asian" in "And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street," and the   
   blacks in "If I Ran The Zoo," are racist depictions.  This is not in rational   
   dispute.  That Hartung says "Nothing I have ever seen in any Dr. Suess book is   
   in any way racist," when Seuss books contain *manifestly* racist depictions, is   
   the proof that Hartung is a racist.
