Barnes & Noble, America’s largest bookseller, has withdrawn a new series of “diverse” classic book covers following a backlash from writers who say it does nothing to address the publishing industry’s underlying diversity problems.
The new “Diverse Editions” series was announced on Tuesday to honor Black History Month and due to hit shelves on Wednesday. The project saw 12 classic young adult novels receive new covers, the protagonists now “culturally diverse”. Frankenstein’s monster has brown skin, not green, while a kissing Romeo and Juliet have darker skin tones and kinky hair textures. “For the first time ever, all parents will be able to pick up a book and see themselves in a story,” the company explains on the back cover of the books.
But prominent authors were quick to lambast the company, saying that simply changing the skin color of characters from Romeo and Juliet or Frankenstein is a superficial fix, and that the publishing industry should do more to promote writers of color.

Let niggers write their own classics. surely they are capable of it? This is truly an outrage. How dare they desecrate and pervert the artistry of human beings and make their works into niggers to appease the SJWs? Does anyone think the mammies sit and read Shakespeare (or anything) to their sprogs every night when they tuck them in? Someone make this bullshit stop!!

George Orwell was a prophet.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party (nigger-loving SJW) is always right.”
