There is a very famous book missing here! My grandma used to read me a book called Uncle Remus. It was a Golden book by Disney. I had no idea how racist it was until I was an adult.

As a child, Little Black Sambo was one of my favourite books. I loved the story of the cunning and brave little boy who outwitted the tiger, and the clever elision between the blur of the drawing depicting movement and the transformation of the tiger is very satisfying. The happy ending with his loving parents offered reassurance.

My parents were strongly opposed to racism, being committed Christians, and I spent my young adulthood involved in the anti-apartheid movement. I now work as a lawyer specialising particularly in anti-discrimination law. I Have shown the book to my children, and explained the racist use of the title, but the clever little boy who is the hero of the book is a great character in childrens’ literature.

Really? What a petty, small-minded goal. How pathetic can you get?

Why change them to be politically correct? It’s history and you can’t change that. We learn from it! What a missed opportunity.

I am (a) negro and (b) West Indian so I understand the issues with these books. However- I do not support censoring or revising or rewriting these books. They form an important part of a society’s past culture and teach the younger generation the views and biases of past generations. They should be left untouched and unchanged. It’s all about how people decide to use these books. The removal of these books is more offensive to me personally. Let our kids know what the past was like. Perhaps they’ll appreciate how far we’ve all come(all races in terms of tolerance and acceptance of each other).
