Ms. Rachel Calls for Retiring Racist Nursery Rhymes on SubwayTakes

Ms. Rachel just took five big swings on SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma, and the internet is still catching up. The children’s content creator, introduced as“the Mr. Rogers of today,”called for racist nursery rhymes like“Jimmy Crack Corn”and“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”to be retired outright, while allowing that others can be revised.“Some, I think, can be changed,”she said.“The ones that really need to be retired are racist ones.”

She also pushed back on the idea that Fred Rogers belonged on the sidelines. Ms. Rachel argued that his pool scene with Officer Clemmons and his Senate testimony were political acts, and she brought that same energy to the present, condemning child detention centers and the killing of children in Gaza. It’s a rare, direct political statement from a figure who normally keeps things focused on the sing-alongs.

And then there’s the curveball: Ms. Rachel praised pigeons as intelligent, loyal, and helpful street cleaners, and floated a puppet-run coffee shop in New York City. Whether you agree with all five takes, one thing is clear, this interview is doing numbers. So we want to know, which take had you texting your group chat first?
