If Books Could Kill: good god no — Subium • Bluesky web client

good god no

What the holy fuck is this

Looking forward to the ep

perhaps a challenge to the "only one book" hypothesis

Well, it is a remake of a book from the 60s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_L...

Black Like Me - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Or the novelisation of this reality show from 2006 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black._....

Oh good, now I won't feel compelled to mention it.

Thank God we finally have a white guy who can confirm if there's still racism against black people

This is legitimately the face I made.

I'm okay with your episode of this book just having you two go "What the fuck" over and over for an hour.

what must the book proposal have been like? "I'm going to do blackface and present my thoughts about racism, without referencing any Black person's work and presenting my own ideas as more authentic than Black people's"?

I don’t think there was a proposal, it looks extremely self-published

yeah, I can't find it listed anywhere but amazon.

Goodreads has the publisher as Slaughterhouse Media, which doesn’t seem to be a thing

www.bizapedia.com/tx/slaughter... sam forster owns it and registered it in april lmao

Oh god I hadn't gotten that far, that's hilarious.

This sequel to American Fiction sounds crazy.

Cool. White guy explains racism. Just what the world needed.

Disguised how? That sounds like it would be an SNL skit prompt.

Eddie Murphy actually did the inverse of this on SNL 40 years ago: youtu.be/l_LeJfn_qW0?...

The podcast reacts:

was there perhaps another way to show that racism persists

Missed his chance to participate in a horrendous reality TV version of this. youtu.be/KaryoWAewIw?...

Thank you, in advance, for your sacrifice

Does he not know black people already exist and could tell him?

Can’t wait to hear how One Book Theory works with this one!

Let's hope it's also one of the last things he ever does as a journalist.

This might actually be the thing that kills books

it's "the most important book on American race relations that's ever been written," supposedly

Our reality is a MadLib and you will not convince me otherwise.

How but also, and maybe most importantly, WHY

Besides the obvious issues: it's not even original. Günther Wallraff did that shit here in Germany 15 years ago
