Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton Claims Blocking Children’s Access to Explicit Books is ‘White Supremacy’
by Cassandra MacDonald0 Comments
Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton has signed a letter with 175 other
artists denouncing efforts to block children’s access to sexually
explicit books as “white supremacy.”
Other signatories of the letter include the usual suspects, such as
Bravo’s Andy Cohen, Alyssa Milano, Ariana Grande, Bill Nye, Chelsea
Handler, Judd Apatow, Judy Blume, Mark Ruffalo, Zooey Deschanel, and Ron
Perlman.
The campaign is being run by far-left organization MoveOn.
“Far-right politicians like Ron DeSantis are championing draconian
laws to ban books and the teaching of accurate multicultural American
history in favor of upholding a homophobic, transphobic, and white
supremacist vision of our nation,” the group’s website states.
The letter
states, “This restrictive behavior is not just antithetical to free
speech and expression but has a chilling effect on the broader creative
field. The government cannot and should not create any interference or
dictate what people can produce, write, generate, read, listen to, or
consume.”
“We cannot stress enough how these censorious efforts will not end
with book bans. It’s only a matter of time before regressive,
suppressive ideologues will shift their focus toward other forms of art
and entertainment, to further their attacks and efforts to scapegoat
marginalized communities, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks,” the
letter continues. “We refuse to remain silent as one creative field is
subjected to oppressive bans. As artists, we must band together, because
a threat to one form of art is a threat to us all.”
The letter concludes by saying, “We are calling on everyone to join
us in pushing back against these book bans, support free and open
creative industries—regardless of personal or ideological
disagreements—and use their voice at the local level to stop these bans
in their school districts. There is power in artistic freedom, and we
refuse to allow draconian politicians to take that from us.”
Burton also wrote his own statement about the letter, saying, “It’s
embarrassing that we are banning books in this country, in this culture,
in this day and age. And it’s dangerous that a handful of individuals
are deciding that any book with Black and queer people is divisive. I’m
proud to be surrounded by hundreds of artists and millions of MoveOn
members who are solidly against this type of censorship. We are calling
on everyone to join us in raising their voices to uphold artistic
freedom, embrace multicultural history, and put a stop once and for all
to book bans.”
Burton has previously urged children to read banned books, saying on
The Daily Show in 2002 that “that’s where the good stuff is.”
Revisionist History: New Children’s Book Now Claims Stonehenge Built by Blacks
(According to historians, the first black people in Britain arrived under the Roman Empire in around 300 AD.
Stonehenge, meanwhile, was constructed during the Bronze Age between 3000 and 2000 BC.
Fake history. Why is she making an ass out of those believing it? Stonehenge.... Oh my God... so STUPID !!!!!)

Nigerian-born writer Atinuke’s new children’s book, “Brilliant Black
British History,” claims that the U.K. has more blacks in its history
than whites, and that blacks are actually the builders of the famed
Stonehenge.
The Daily Mail
reports that the book, which is geared for children seven and up,
suggests to readers that ‘every single British person comes from a
migrant’ and that the ‘very first Britons were black.’ It further
alleges that Britain has been “mostly a white country for a lot less
time than it has been mostly a black country.”
The Daily Mail reports:
The book takes readers through an overview of the presence of black people in Britain.
It says that Britain was ‘a black country
more than 7,000 years before white people came and during that time the
most famous British monument was built, Stonehenge’.
But research published in 2019 suggested
the Neolithic farmers who built Stonehenge had paler skin and were
descended from populations originating in Anatolia in what is now
Turkey.
The book also advances the claim that some of the Roman soldiers who invaded and ruled Britain were black.

The book’s appearance, according to the Mail, follows a campaign by
“Don’t Divide Us” that claims children are being exposed to
“anti-racism” theories.
Responses on social media addressed the revisionist history:
