AW: English books

Bullshit!

The fact of the matter is that in recent years, people's stupidity, or call it naïvety if you prefer rather moderate language, has flip-floped the initial message of the book - which was undeniably seen as a "vital antislavery tool" (Wikipedia) for decades every since it was published.

You cannot hold the book accountable for what the people like to interpret or conclude over the course of time. Further to that, you statement "...it is still full of stereotypes..." doesn't make any sense to me. What do you want poor Harriet to do? Arise from the dead, revise her writing and turn it more into a nowadays, state of the art, hypocritical and wannabe political manifesto?

And by the way, does the quote in your signature make Hans Krankl a racist? And what about yourself since it's attached to all your postings here?
