Stupid bitch.

How about passing out Mein Kampf, you whore?

How’s that for a banned book?

How about Did Six Million Really Die?

BBC:

Singer Pink will give away 2,000 free copies of books that have been “banned” by some schools in Florida to fans at her concerts in Miami this week.

The star has waded into the row over some libraries and classrooms removing books with sexual content or themes of sexuality, gender identity and race.

“It’s confusing, it’s infuriating, it is censorship,” she said.

Yes.

Censorship is infuriating.

How about passing out those Goyim Defense fliers Ron DeSantis banned, you dyke?

Florida authorities say they want to restrict inappropriate and harmful material but that they don’t ban books.

Pink has joined forces with Pen America, a campaign group that says it defends freedom of expression for authors.

It says Florida has had more books banned than any other US state, accounting for more than 40% of all documented examples.

“Books have held a special joy for me from the time I was a child, and that’s why I am unwilling to stand by and watch while books are banned by schools,” Pink said in a statement released by the group.

This is the list:

• Beloved by Toni Morrison – Pulitzer Prize-winning 1987 novel about the horrors and legacy of slavery is “banned” from nine Florida school districts, Pen America says
• The Family Book by Todd Parr – young children’s picture book about different families including same-sex parents is on the list in three districts
• The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman – the poem written for President Joe Biden’s inauguration was moved from the elementary library to the middle school section in a Miami school
• Girls Who Code by Reshma Saujani – was reportedly temporarily removed by a district in Pennsylvania last year but doesn’t appear on Pen America’s current list

They deliberately picked the ones that don’t have any actual porn in them specifically for this publicity stunt.

Only “The Family Book” has anything about faggotry and stuff, and it’s non-explicit:

To be honest, this stuff looks more insidious than the ones that are outright porn.

Almost half of school districts in Florida have had “instances of book bans”, according to Pen America. Across the US, school book removals were up by one third in the past year, it said.

Florida’s Department of Education has said it “does not ban books”, while governor Ron DeSantis has called the idea of banning a “hoax”. He has said he wants an education system that is “free from sexualization and harmful materials that are not age appropriate”.

Did you ban those Goyim fliers, you meatball nigger?

Is a guy doing 30 days in jail right now for passing out fliers?

Is that a hoax?

Is the SCOTUS refusing to hear the case?

Victor Obiols tried to culturally appropriate the translation of some gibberish

Previously on “Translating While White”: Netherlands: Black Tranny Cancels White Female’s Translation of Black Person’s Book

It was a black tranny in the Netherlands who kicked off the “translating while white” phenomenon, after black poet Amanda Gorman had handpicked a white woman to translate her gibberish.

Now this is apparently going to be the standard.

The funny part is that it’s going to cost black authors a lot of money.

The Guardian:

The Catalan translator for the poem that American writer Amanda Gorman read at US president Joe Biden’s inauguration has said he has been removed from the job because he had the wrong “profile”.

It was the second such case in Europe after Dutch writer Marieke Lucas Rijneveld resigned from the job of translating Gorman’s work following criticism that a black writer was not chosen.

“They told me that I am not suitable to translate it,” Catalan translator Victor Obiols told AFP on Wednesday. “They did not question my abilities, but they were looking for a different profile, which had to be a woman, young, activist and preferably black.”

Gorman, a 23-year-old African American, was widely lauded for her reading of her poem “The Hill We Climb” at Biden’s 20 January inauguration. The poem was inspired by the US Capitol attack and touched on how democracy “can never be permanently defeated”.

…

Obiols, who has translated works by William Shakespeare and Oscar Wilde, received a request from Barcelona publisher Univers three weeks ago to produce a Catalan version of Gorman’s poem with a foreword by US television personality Oprah Winfrey. After he had finished, his publisher received a message to the effect that he “was not the right person”, said Obiols.

He does not know if the rejection came from the original publisher or from Gorman’s agent.

“It is a very complicated subject that cannot be treated with frivolity,” said Obiols, a resident of Barcelona.

“But if I cannot translate a poet because she is a woman, young, black, an American of the 21st century, neither can I translate Homer because I am not a Greek of the eighth century BC. Or could not have translated Shakespeare because I am not a 16th-century Englishman.”

Yeah the implications are very large.

I can’t wait for blacks to start saying that the mechanics that work on trains that are ridden by a majority people of color have to be black.

Their cellphones should also have to be designed and manufactured by black people, I think.

Whites really have no place in the lives of blacks.

Finally, I’m really agreeing with these people.

Anyone who’s ever read good poetry knows this is straight up trash

It’s usually considered a pretty big honor to have someone who is notable as something other than a translator agree to translate your book.

I don’t think black people really understand the concept of translation.

The Guardian:

The acclaimed author Marieke Lucas Rijneveld has pulled out of translating Amanda Gorman’s poetry into Dutch, after their publisher was criticised for picking a writer for the role who was not also Black.

Dutch publisher Meulenhoff had announced Rijneveld, winner of the International Booker prize, as the translator of the Joe Biden inaugural poet’s forthcoming collection, The Hill We Climb, last week. But the move quickly drew opprobrium. Journalist and activist Janice Deul led critics with a piece in Volkskrant asking why Meulenhoff had not chosen a translator who was, like Gorman, a “spoken-word artist, young, female and unapologetically Black”.

“An incomprehensible choice, in my view and that of many others who expressed their pain, frustration, anger and disappointment via social media,” wrote Deul. “Isn’t it – to say the least – a missed opportunity to [have hired] Marieke Lucas Rijneveld for this job? They are white, nonbinary, have no experience in this field, but according to Meulenhoff are still the ‘dream translator’?”

Janice Deul: A black trans, so it makes sense she’d know about TRANS-lation. Right? 

Marieke Lucas Rijneveld: She identifies as both a man and a woman because she wears suits

Rijneveld had previously welcomed the assignment, saying that “at a time of increasing polarisation, Amanda Gorman shows in her young voice the power of spoken word, the power of reconciliation, the power of someone who looks to the future instead of looking down”. But in a statement, they subsequently announced their withdrawal from the project.

“I am shocked by the uproar surrounding my involvement in the spread of Amanda Gorman’s message and I understand the people who feel hurt by Meulenhoff’s choice to ask me,” Rijneveld wrote. “I had happily devoted myself to translating Amanda’s work, seeing it as the greatest task to keep her strength, tone and style. However, I realise that I am in a position to think and feel that way, where many are not. I still wish that her ideas reach as many readers as possible and open hearts.”

Meulenhoff said it was Rijneveld’s decision to resign, and that Gorman, who is 22, had selected the 29-year-old herself, as a fellow young writer who had also come to fame early. “We want to learn from this by talking and we will walk a different path with the new insights,” said the publishing house’s general director Maaike le Noble. “We will be looking for a team to work with to bring Amanda’s words and message of hope and inspiration into translation as well as possible and in her spirit.”

“Thank you for this decision,” Deul wrote on Twitter.

What has happened is that “canceling” has been incentivized.

This “Dutch” black tranny, Deul, got its name in a bunch of media because of this canceling.

I can pretty well guarantee this is the best thing that’s ever happened to this person’s brand.

The translator was literally chosen by Gorman herself, as noted. The translator is also some kind of f-to-m tranny? I guess?

But the mindset right now is literally: “we just have to do whatever any black or member of any other victim group whines about.”

If the translator hadn’t been a famous person in Netherlands, the issue never would have come up, because the black tranny wouldn’t have seen it in the media and invented the idea that a translator of a black book has to be black.

Gorman herself must be thinking “welp, that just cost me however many tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Obviously, by attaching the name of an already famous person on the book, she was guaranteeing a number of sales.

It doesn’t take much to see the implications of this new standard for translation – effectively, all members of victim groups are not going to be allowed to have their books translated.

Now, just apply that principle to the rest of society. You could have a situation where the trains just stop running – literally.

You could have blacks say that the people doing the maintenance on trains that are ridden by a majority of blacks have to be black.

“Bitch I ain’t knowed hos ta fix no muthafuckin train, yall gots me fugged up.”

So really, this sort of thing should be encouraged.
