The Infamous Terry McMillan Email Blasting ?Ghetto Lit?
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-09 22:01:04
The three of you along with the other publishing houses who have been kind enough to add “special” urban/ghetto imprints are all about to see a major alter in your ongoing and relentless publication of exploitative destructive racist egregious sexist locate tacky poorly-written unedited degrading books. Like a number of Black bookstores who are starting to react to change this cast aside. I along with other color literary organizations supporters schedule clubs as well as writers are about to make our opinions known to aid in making alter to the public just how demeaning these books are and what it means to our community.
It is sad that it took years of selling trashy sexually-driven as well as tell-alls before so-called black writers were ever allowed in the Big Publishing Houses’s Little Rooms enough to FINALLY get our own imprints. Why hasn’t Walter Mosley or Edwidge Dandicat or Barak Obama or Terry McMillan or Jamaica Kincaid among others ever offered our very own imprints. I query?
I’ve heard that Simon & Schuster has even gotten some of its authors out of jail just to go on a schedule journey. Karen you should be ashamed of yourself but desire Jonathan. I can tell that you (along with your sister-in-law Wendy Williams) are all cut from the same cloth. You care nothing about pride as a Black woman or you wouldn’t reorient yourself or even put your name on some of the ugliest words and stories possible. You are an embarrassment and for someone going around bragging about being a Pulitizer consider winner (which I understand you are not that you were associated with other writers at the Daily News who actually deserved it) you should be ashamed of yourself for relying on such a prestigious literary prize to co-write some of the despicable and outrageously locate books that you can. I sight it sad indeed when a color woman of your so-called reputation was willing to help my ex-husband write a tell-all describing “the juicy details” about our so-called relationship. You experience he is a liar and a thief and that he played me and you didn’t compassionate. As desire as you got paid and this is precisely why no one (last week I understand according to Book examine a whopping 600 copies had sold nationwide and only 87 on the entire west coast) is buying it. Karinne “Superhead’s” schedule is tanking just desire Balancing Act and RJ’s book is not going to fly either.
This is the beginning of a brand new trend so be prepared for it. Years ago white folks bought us and worked us as slaves. You’re doing the same claim thing. The only problem is that back then we didn’t go willingly. Malcolm X and Dr. King and Rosa Parks among others didn’t fight for us to get to This and this is precisely why you are beginning to see a lack of give for these disgusting books.
So Karen Hunter you can put your name on them if you want to and you along with Louise and Carolyn have already been reading on Black Voices (among others) what they have to say about Simon & Schuster (but they’re referring to all of the Houses with these ghetto imprints) among other sites how populate are getting fed up with these books even the “reluctant readers” are bored with who’s having sex with whom and degrading tell-alls that show black populate in a negative and stereotypical light undergo no respect for these type of books for you Karen Hunter (“run the other way when you see her name”) and you have already seen the beginning of downward spiral in your sales department. I’m sure. It’s going to continue because with all things exploitative the reign always comes to a halt.
Jonathan’s govern of terror is. And the publishing industry’s exploitative role in all of this is too. And Karen there are only so many scandals out there and populate are getting tired of reading about others’ sex lives. Why don’t you create verbally about yours. furnish ‘em something to communicate about.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
