The family of children's author Roald Dahl has issued a belated apology for his history of anti-Semitism. The implication they had to apologize at all is absurd. Be happy they seem like non-shitty people and decided to. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah I remember reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was younger and it had some "...holy shit" moments with the racist stuff.

In hindsight the whole story was very QAnon. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

In one example, in 1983 Dahl reportedly told Britain's New Statesman magazine that "there is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews." He added: "Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason." Wow. Holy fuck. When you refer to Hitler as a 'stinker' and that he "picked on Jews". --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx ...

I don't like the idea of apologizing for someone else. You didn't do anything wrong and your apology doesn't suddenly make him not racist.

Fair. But Roald Dahl is still everything I aspire to as a writer. That guy was in a class all his own when it came to children's stories.

"The group added that the apology was "encouraging," but that it's "a shame that the estate has seen fit mere to apologise for Dahl's antisemitism rather than to use its substantial means to do anything about it."
Responses like this might be why estates hold off on making apologies. ... Copied to Clipboard!
