Re: The book “Bad and Boujee: Toward a Trap Feminist Theology written by a very white woman, Jennifer M. Buck, Ph.D, Program Director, Interdisciplinary Studies and Assoc. Professor, Dept. Of Practical Theology, at Azusa Pacific University in Southern Cali. 1. This came to my attention last night. 2. I called the publisher, a small Christian press in Eugene Oregon, to find out how in the entire f*** this ish happened. 3. Of course Black Twitter has been on it. As have many of you, on your various socials. 4. I spoke to an editor at Wipf and Stock Publishing just now. Not for journalistic attribution. He’s a white male. 5. He said they are preparing a statement taking full responsibility for their mistake. I will share when it goes live. 7. More importantly he said they are pulling the book from sales outlets tho I’m not sure when—it’s still up on Amazon where, when I peeked, it had 17 1-star “do not buy this book” reviews. I haven’t checked the other sales sites. 6. He asked my thoughts and listened as I shared them. I was polite and professional but also passionate and said all the things. 7. He said they have and do publish Black authors and other authors of color. I cannot. EDITED TO ADD: Dear White People–can you ever, ever just take a freaking day off of the racist ish? Just one little day? WHY WHY WHY? Via: @taressatalks https://www.instagram.com/p/CcbLiFpumJc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI= -- source link
