Having a monkey is racist now I guess. And wasn't the white man known as 'the man in the yellow hat' in that series? Talk about racist!! Curious George is the main character of a series of popular children's books and TV episodes of the same name, written by Margret and H. A. Rey. George (who is referred to as a monkey in the books) was brought from his home in Africa by "The Man with The Yellow Hat". They are best friends and they live together in "the city" and "the country". The names of these areas have not been disclosed yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's that? What's that you say? You say today is Saturday? Ha-ha G'bye, I'm goin' out to play" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tubby_mcgee 686 Posted March 3, 2021 So is there HONESTLY ....like truly.... anyone on the focking planet...that thinks "Hell yeah. Banning Seuss is a good idea! It's about time!" etc? Whoever you are....whoever that is.... you have GOT to be the biggest focking sheep toolbag there is. I mean, even board liberals agree with me on that, right?
