That's the argument for statues not books. Why in the ever living fuck would you put a copy of some racist book in a museum?
For people to see the sins of our past. I guarantee you that there’s a Mien Kampf in a WW2 museum somewhere.
That's a little different because that's a book that Hitler wrote so it has huge historical context. I'm saying we shouldn't burn all offensive books. You're saying all the offensive books should go in a museum.
