Dear Author, Loved Your Story, But Before We Publish It, You Gotta Change Your White Characters To Black Cuz..Well…You’re Black Aren’t You?
Well, I’ve just come across the most fucking disgraceful thing ever.
Apparently, in order for Millennia Black’s next book to be published, she has to change her white characters to black. Why? Because she’s black, and the publisher wants her stuck in AA fiction ghetto hell.
Her first novel, The Great Pretender featured black characters, and so, she’s now been neatly labelled, thus no-colour swapping allowed. What. The. FUCK?
How the frigging hell does this happen in this day and age?
To the editor or indeed publisher who thought this was a smart move, YOURACIST TWATS ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORONIC ARSEHOLES!
Millennia, they fucked you over on your first book, and now this? Seriously, you need to find a more enlightened publisher.
Ok, I’m done.
