SC Tiger Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Sweet Jesus - take me now. I don't know how much more of this craziness I can take. A group has called "Veggie Tales" - the cartoons about talking vegetables teaching Bible stories and about God - have been called Racist and Dangerous. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/veggietales-is-racist-and-dangerous-for-children-california-students-claim The good news is that this appears to be a small group of nutballs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMyers Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I like Veggie Tales. When my daughter was growing up, we watched them all. I'm not sure how anyone could consider that show racist? It actually worked hard at staying non-denominational and basically trying to teach good morale practices. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Hawk Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Don’t you know that it’s racist to teach morals? Although where that leaves Dr. Martin Luther King seems to be rather ambiguous. Hawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 wow, just wow. I mean, I got a good laugh out of reading the article, but it's a little scary what people are getting away with under the guise of "education" That, and one of the things that is racist is "women for Trump"... doesn't matter what race the women are, just that they are for Trump.

When it came to ulterior motives that show was the most innocuous I have seen. It and Sponge Bob are excellent children's fare. Liberals are incensed simply because they do not indoctrinate to their ideals, like you see on NPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Complainers should thank their lucky stars, that these vegetables aren't promoting child brides, beating women, wanting to kill people because they are Christians. It could be worse! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lunt is often his sidekick, and he's a gourd with a Spanish accent, who grew up in New Jersey. Yes - my kid used to watch these a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 That link to the Veggie Tail song about belly buttons brought back a LOT of memories of times with my baby girl. :) She's not much older but the Veggies are not as cool these days. Still my wife and i laughed a lot at that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say your belly button's missing There's no reason for alarm It's a common thing for gourds It won't do you any harm You're technically a fruit And with that much being said Your umbilical equivocal Is up there on your head!

janice6 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 When you are really intent on finding racism and violence, you generally will work extra hard, and put in extra effort, to either find it or redefine what you see, to conform to your expectations. This tells the objective observer much more about the person/group that is burdened with looking for hate, than it does in the examples you hold up. We generally find that which we complain about, because that is all we can see. Liberals are anything but!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
