The though that people would show children a cartoon that depicts Africans as some sort of sub-humans or monkeys is simply vile. I have absolutely zero interest in reading this cartoon and strongly wish that other adults would not show this book to their children. I don't care for hate speech at all! Cartoons that depict the prophet Mohammed with a bomb on his head, a crucifix in a jar of urine, the Virgin Mary smeared in dung, and all with the express purpose of inflicting emotional harm on the viewer. People who do this kind of thing are flatout disgusting.
However, I'm even more strongly opposed to censorship. I'd much rather live with speech I find reprehensible than to see any speech censored.
I'd be fine with the library moving the book from the kids section of the library to the adult section, like Borders did, but banning the book is simply wrong.
