National Public Radio wants everyone to burn every book they own written by “white people.” The progressives are too snooty to put their censorship in such “crass” terms though. “Decolonizing your bookshelf” is all “about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas.” Anyone who reads John Grisham or Danielle Steel is a slave whipping plantation owner in disguise.
Liberals want to burn it all
Not only do liberals want to burn down police stations, dollar stores, and upscale shopping malls, they want to torch each and every book written by “white people.” Don’t use coal to heat your home, that’s not green enough. Instead, throw a few Ray Bradbury novels on the fire and you’ll soon be up to a toasty 451 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can start “decolonizing your bookshelf” by yanking every single volume written by a white person. That way the liberal reader can actively resist and cast aside “the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long.” That’s why adult coloring books are so popular.
If you are white, the taxpayer funded progressive propaganda mill vocalizes across the airwaves to illiterate people, “examine your bookshelf,” they order. They’re already convinced its just jam packed with books and authors that wrongly influence the way you “process the issues of racism and prejudice toward the disenfranchised.”
In essence, "decolonizing your bookshelf" is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long, says @itsjuanlove. https://t.co/pbSBx8Z4So

Only white people read white authors
Of course, people of color can read whatever they want because they don’t own any Stephen King novels or anything written by white folks. It’s only those who “identify as white” that need their books taken away to burn. “If you identify as white and read only the work of white authors, you are in some ways listening to an extension of your own voice on repeat,” NPR insists.
They say that like it’s a bad thing. “While the details and depth of experience may differ, white voices have dominated what has been considered canon for eons.” Could that be because white people work diligently to research and write things while people of color throw Molotov cocktails at the Autozone?
Those who know history are doomed to watch helplessly as those who don’t know history repeat it. A few years ago, in 612 BC, the Babylonians, now known as Iraqis, “burned the library of the scholar King Ashurbanipal. They weren’t content setting the wine shops and money changer’s tents on fire. No, they didn’t stop until they “sacked the Assyrian capital of Nineveh.” In case Antifa gets any funny ideas, President Trump already put them on notice he’ll call out the army before he lets them burn the Library of Congress.
Libturds want to ruin the USA in anyway they can. They are removing our history and the sad thing is people in office allow it to happen.
Time to defund NPR!!!
If this country was half as racist as they say no one would be here to complain…CAPISCE!!
Now you see who are the real racists. Remember the kristallnacht in 1933, Berlin Germany.
It’s a Socialist thing.
Need one for liberals!
I wasn’t there, but this sure sound like we of the U.S. are going down the same path. Next it will be churches be churches and synagogues being burned by people in black hoodies instead of white robes and hoods. I guess if Hitler did it it is alright with the group calling themselves Antifa, but in reality they are as fascist as Nazi Germany.
Pucking Fsychos!
Burning books sound familiar??? adolph hitler’s NAZI PARTY did it in the thirties?? The dumocrat/communist/socialist’s are doing it now and advancing those actions at this time in history.TIME TO DEFUND NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO NOW???STOP SPENDING MY TAX MONEY ON THESE CRAZY ULTRA LEFT ICONS THAT ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR FREEDOMS??
Those that forget the past are doomed to repeat it. George Santayana. “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” ― Edmund Burke . “He who doesn’t understand history is doomed to repeat it.” ― Pittacus Lore. “We’re doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That’s what it is to be alive. It’s pretty dense kids who haven’t figured that out by the time they’re ten…. Most kids can’t afford to go to Harvard and be misinformed.” ― Kurt Vonnegut. “It’s been my experience, Langford, that the past always has a way of returning. Those who don’t learn, or can’t remember it, are doomed to repeat it.” ― Steve Berry. “Learn from history or you’re doomed to repeat it.” ― Jesse Ventura
I remember burning of books back in the (I believe) late 70’s or early 80’s. History repeating itself. You can’t learn from history (good or bad) if there isn’t any.
If I burn all my books written by white authors, except for a couple by authors like Thomas Sowell & Walter Williams, my books shelves will be bare. Seriously folks, NPR is simply one more Leftist Anarchist entity that needs to be defunded & allowed to either operate on their own funding or die.
Kindly stop calling the BLM/Antifa thugs “Anarchists”. They’re nothing of the sort. They’re left-Faschists, pure and simple. Call them by their rightful name.
Excellent reason to defund the NPR and pull their FCC licenses.
I shall continue to read any thing I can get my hands on. I do not care who wrote it if it is informational. Crazy liberals. Just try and burn my books!
Defund NPR. See what they think of that idea. Let them get their money somewhere else, instead of the government.
I agree defund I thought NPR was founded to keep government out of the air waves
History repeating it’s self?
Just a bunch of idiots, if they wreck the country, who’s going to give them their Free Stuff ??? Stupid beyond belief ?? When you go to vote remenber that the Dems are allowing and pushing this crap on the people.
Yes, but we have known that they were all along
And seeing the LIBTARDS (presumably blacks) are the main anti-white instigators, before you begin burning books, stop and ask yourselves WHO taught BLACKS to read, write, calculate? Those skills go back as far as ancient times while YOUR forebears were still running around barefoot and hunting with spears… In fact, your forebears had not even invented and used the wheel, if the truth be told…. oh, and pray tell whether aforesaid forebears were living in multistorey homes powered by electricity; hearing a freight train pass by the house – getting into a car and driving to the nearest store to buy groceries – and DON’T forget the booze while the wife is battling to handle a couple of kids and cooking a meal at the same time while YOUR forebear, mister, sat there – guzzling alcohol after a “HARD DAY” sitting under a tree and boasting how clever he was…

Hide you Bibles !
Bigotry, Intolerance, Censorship, Ignorance and Cultural Marxism are NOW the New Foundations of NPR and its news. Until now this left leaning News outlet did provide some news context to the story. Now they are cutting back on complete information for Marxist Communist Stupidstitious ignorance to keep the public in delusion, ignorance and illiteracy for future generations to come.
So, will they burn “Roots” in it’s entirety, or just the parts Alex Haley plagiarized from Harold Courlander, a white man.
It’s very telling that all of the leftists call Trump Hitler every chance they get and yet when any actions reminiscent of Hitler take place, leftists are the perpetrators. Hitler burned books that he felt were in opposition to his ideas-Trump has never burned a book or asked for one to be burnt-but leftists are suggesting it. Hitler hated religion and made it submit to his demands-Trump has been a protector of religion, but leftists require religion to submit. Hitler had thugs that roamed the streets, beating the hell out of opponents-Trump never sent anybody to hurt anybody, but leftist thugs (antifa) do. Hitler claimed to be a socialist-Trump says America will never be a socialist country, but our leftist party thinks we should adopt the system. Hitler had a radical green environmental program-Trump thinks keeping the country and air and water is sufficient environmentally, but leftists want to destroy the entire country in the name of environmentalism. I could give more examples, but the comment is getting too long.
Great response!! Thank you for speaking up !!
It’s about time the liberal commie Democrats should stop using our tax money to fund NPR. Stop funding such garbage. America has enough propaganda arms running around here. If the liberal commie Democrats want to fund NPR, let them dig into their own bank accounts. Go ask Bolshevik Soros for money. He will only be too happy to give.
Now here is a similarity between NPR and the Nazi’s. Didn’t Adolf Hitler have books burned in WWII?
Of course he did—first step in taking power !
NPR—–Book burning?? Isn’t that one of the first things a “certain dictator” did in the 1930’s ? Germany I think—hard to be sure—so much history had been erased !
These people are out of control. Its time this nonsense stops. If they don’t like America Leave.
All they are doing is turning more and more people against them.
These protestors/agitators are not good people. What kind of parents raised all these people.
This was all brought on by the democrats. Wake up America or soon we will not have a country.
WE would not have JOBS if it wasn’t for WHITE PEOPLE… STOP BEING A SUCH DUMB ARES
NPR or National Politburo Radio is ran by Communists, and has been for more years than I care to count. Shut it down!
You forking Ferrets you like white man`s inventions. You like his country you say you built it. Well if the world went away tomorrow you people of color would be thrown back into the stone age. Everyone here is living under the same rules. In 1607 James Town they had a vote. It was either English or German they would be speaking. English language won by one vote. We are a nation of laws It`s called the constitution. Go make your arguments in Australia. I am still waiting for that white privilege all you Blacks are screaming about. Grow the hell up.
These people hate our country. The only country that gives them the freedom to speak freely and to protest. But if they really want to make changes then vote..campaign for candidates that share your views but destroying property and communities is not how you gain support
It’s obvious that the time for the US to segregate is now. The liberal/progressives, social/communist Dems and the lying biased corrupt fake news media are pushing for that. Each racial group would be restricted to living in a certain area; would get jobs and pay their own bills including mortgages, rent and utilities and their own medical insurance & coverage, medical care & prescriptions; would pay for their own food along with Their own police protection and at no time, not ever, will any racial group’s monies/earnings/taxesl be commingled between the races. Then everybody will be happy and fairly treated.
The original article doesn’t say anything about burning the books. It just basically encourages reading non-white authors. Fear mongering?
The source article may not spell it out as “book burning” but what they do say amounts to the same thing. They want you to weed out the volumes from your bookshelf. Does it really matter if you throw it in the trash or the burning barrel? The point is censorship of ideas. Thank you for reading!
I’m sure the vast majority of us on here get it Mark.
I think they are Nazis reborn. They follow their playbook right down the line The line will end with patriots of this country. When they start wanting to hurt and kill people in this country, plundering and burning cities and doing away with police in these cities then it is about time to act and get them sorted out and dealt with, the leaders of these organizations and the people that pay them need to also pay the piper!
NPR — Just one more waste of federal funds. DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Stop payments to this Communist propaganda outlet.NO MORE TAXPAYERS MONEY to this outfit.
What if White people threatened to burn the book written by a Black person? (Maybe there is more than one book but not many more)
I watch many programs on NPR. If this is their philosophy, I will not be contributing, or watching any of their programs ! Many of the GREATEST books in the World, were written by “White People”, and it is both RACIST, and LUDICROUS, to tell people to not read them ! In fact, I believe much of what is being HYPED in the Liberal World, is Racist, and not much better then the way that the NAZI’S believed !
When all this ‘Marxist Democrat Party’ nonsense started, I used to joke, “What time does the book burning start”… well, I didn’t have to wait long.
And YOUR tax dollars are keeping this ‘shitt hole’ on the air.
Why does this Communist org. receive tax dollars, when it’s all too obvious they are anti-America. The last I checked it was 25% tax funded, no doubt the true figures are much higher.
Hitler would be so, so proud.
Russia was correct, we will self destruct.
If the burn every book written by white people they won’t need libraries anymore as there wouldn’t be enough books left to even have a miniature library.
I have heard a lot of comments by supposed SMART people, but this takes the cake. What a stupid
and ignorant idea. Pitiful, I feel sorry for our younger generation with this type of thinking, by the
time they are grown-up what will this world be like? God have mercy on these ignorant folks. Ya
know you can’t fix stupid and NPR I thought you were intelligent folks, NOPE CHANGED MY MIND.
Just one more reason why National Public Radio (NPR) should be completely “defunded”.
Burn everything written by Shakespeare!
Welcome to 1933 Germany, when Hitler took over, Brownshirts roamed the streets and HATE divided a nation, brought to you by the DemoRAT Socialists Party of HATE and Division.
