“We have always published books by a wide range of authors with greatly varying, and frequently controversial opinions.”
Gizmodo ran a story about this at 10:35. You posted a similar comment 3x today. Are you done?
But in fact this isn’t an unpopular opinion. What it is, is White Supremacy at work. This is what people of color talk about when we say white people and white supremacy and white feminism.

...dude, what? you seem super angry. chill out.
Any man who feels the need to capitalize “man” is also, incidentally, not a man, but an overgrown child.
For real. They were still mad, even after winning the election.
Grew up in the South, too. “Boy” is pejoriative contextually. It is occasionally just used in place of guy or man or dude.
It’s not a game, they were both horrific, but maybe you should read up on the stuff that happened. Black babies used as alligator bait, frequent maiming, hunting black people, etc all over a period that spanned hundreds of years
I grew up in the South too. No one ever called me “boy” in the way that “boy” is used against black boys/men. No one talked to the Asian boys, Arab boys, or Indian boys like that which I grew up with either. Only black boys. You’re just making things up now.
How was he treated poorly because of his race?
“treated poorly due to his race”?! Excuse me? I must have missed that part. What I read was that he was identified in a presumably crowded store by an objective descriptor.

It’s REDONK. Not just strong. Holy shit the cog dis...
They’re literally white, obvs, but early racial pseudoscience couldn’t deal with the fact that the Sami people are oppressed, indigenous and colonized. White people are civilized conquerors, not reindeer-herding animists! Of course, these days, racists love being the victim, so the classification may have changed.
“That white boy over there” ≠ “That n-word over there.”
He was treated poorly because he was in a fast food restaurant. They ain’t the best for customer service but very few grown men cry over it.
The issues here are his sense of proportion and disingenuous intent. Dude is trying to play this for attention when both outright and relative to black people being executed in the streets the incident barely even qualifies as a “micro-aggression”. I mean, are you really concerned that white people are being called…
He wasn’t treated poorly oh my god shut your mouth
