Sage 🏳️‍⚧️: how did this trash get past the pitch stage? did he self publish or something? what the fuck

What the holy fuck is this

no! no!!

how did this trash get past the pitch stage? did he self publish or something? what the fuck

He white

Like, the Eddie Murphy bit was not wrong, we literally just get free stuff for being white The reason I’m still alive to this day is that the cop pointing his loaded gun at my chest could see I was white and that blowing open my chest cavity might have a chance of looking bad

I merited a pause and consider

Same, I survived a cop pulling and pointing his gun at me during a traffic stop

Eddie Murphy was satirizing a book, Black Like Me, about the Jim Crow south. It’s a powerful read. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

Black Like Me, 50 Years Laterwww.smithsonianmag.com John Howard Griffin gave readers an unflinching view of the Jim Crow South. How has his book held up?

*** I am not supporting a self published rando doing this in 2024, and I doubt even a well-supported researcher or journalist could do so respectfully. That said, just look at how many Americans still don’t get it.

he definitely wrote his own description for amazon

Wow. That’s … certainly a claim.

wtf 💀

Very full of himself I see. Well I mean obviously because he did this to begin with

Adding it to my collection of Amazon descriptions and reviews, possibly as the crown jewel 💎

Looks this this Canadian publisher published his first book, where he apparently spent six months on Dallas public transit and wrote about it. Not clear if they’re publishing this one sutherlandhousebooks.com/product/amer...

Self published, previous publisher has "men and their actionable insights" as their last newsletter 🤢🤮

Oh, and that publisher is also where the award for the "award winning author" bit comes from 🙄

It’s a shame. Complaining about a pathological attachment to the automobile and a deeply engrained fetishization of employment could fit quite well on here.

It looks like it’s only available on Kindle Unlimited and I can’t find publisher info so it does seem to be self published.

Just want to point out that the white-guy-doing-blackface-to-examine-racism book that is definitely going to generate a ton of hate-posts on here is ... self-published. So dunk-posts and hate-posts are literally its entire advertising campaign. It's okay to let foolishness scream into the void.

Goodreads says ‘Slaughterhouse Media’, which seems to be nobody

The Instagram for Slaughterhouse Media has them as a “social media agency” and they’ve got 1 post from 2021 reminding us that not every sniffle is covid.

Hezekiah here found it: it’s his business

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

i think that's an unrelated thing, otherwise it would be advertising the book.

whiskey and people with more money than sense

Coulda just ordered pizza

There's just a level of arrogance combined ignorance to make a heady cocktail of Clueless Asshole. That's who approves this, and who does this. Just chugging the cocktail

Look I know book burning is usually a bad look however
