I don't know if you've seen some of the offensive cartoons but they can get REALLY bad. Racism of 2011 and racism of 1940 were very different. (I wish people would stop saying that it's no different from today) I don't think they should be on networks because they really can hurt somebody emotionally or mentally. Especially children, these cartoons were aimed towards children.
But I don't think they should be destroyed or banned. Like I said there's effort in them and we shouldn't pretend they never existed.
Yes. they should be retained, if for anything else but to remember history. To destroy them is to deny history. Denying history is the first step to forgetting history and those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
But one should not dwell too much on history. Dwelling on history leads to hurt feelings. Look not at the past transgressions, but where the world has gone since that time.
Should racist cartoons be destroyed?
