It’s allowed cause all of those books are in the “common realm” or whatever it’s called, so anyone can create a story using/modifying those characters. That’s why scooby doo can meet Dracula and Frankenstein and the invisible man. Because the characters can be modified, theoretically black Ahab or Dorothy is possible, so bandn can advertise for them. Basicallly, Barnes and noble is lying to their customers, pretending that a story is different than it is. That much makes sense to me, but I still don’t understand why they’d do that to moby dick. Isn’t a big part of Ahab that even in racist times, this crazy sailor is so obsessed with killing that whale that he doesn’t care if you’re white, black, or a cannibal?

It’s more demoralization and erasure of whites as we become less and less of a majority in America. This will trigger /leftypol/ fags but it’s true. The demographic displacement of whites has been totally engineered by elites

[Anonymous No.14668155]

It's like (((they))) are indirectly admitting that white male writers are better, since they feel the need to appropriate books by them instead of writing their own. Really makes one ponder...

It's not "POCs" though, it's the companies that do it for marketing purposes. It makes particular demographics feel like its for them and therefore they must consume it (see Black Panther, Wonder Woman, etc.) and also makes them look "woke" for engaging in an entirely fabricated cultural dialogue.
>>14668140
What purpose would that serve? What would be the point? I know you're just gonna say "the Jews" but doesn't it make more sense that the ruling-class is creating a cheap labour force rather than the idea of an entire ethnic group secretly taking over the world like a cartoon villain to mayocide the wypipo?

Not him but you have answered your own question. It is for all thw ancillary benefits like cheap labor, a workforce that is contend with mediocre pay and unsafe dirty work, a mass ownership of all businesses and true wealth by an upper class. Leo Gold's speech in Deus Ex in the opening mission. Except instead of 5 or 6 well connected geniuses in the illuminati in a secret hidden base, it is instead a network of interest groups from political figures to corporate figures to NGOs to artistic and cultural movements vanguarding change, to cultural institutions meant to promote a narrative. They all believe they are moving us forward in one way but they all know deep down that we are dissolving the old to make way for a final powergrab where only a handful of companies own the whole world and a handful of politicians serve for their entire lives and a handful of elite artists and academics tell the rest of us what to think. It isn't a conspiracy, it is just human nature and now there is the means to do it.

Because inclusivity and diversity, and you've got some real misplaced nerve you blotchy faced fat fucking transexual frumpy beer gutted cunt. The question is why are tripfags still allowed? Because there you go again contributing absolutely nothing. You report people's posts, get them banned and then wonder why people crack your non secured trip because they hate you and want you to drop dead off the face of this earth. What books have you ever mentioned reading? I've never once heard you have any sort of opinion or criticism on any kind of literature. You've never mentioned a single novel or text. Why you haven't been banned for your antics and filing of false reports blows my mind but one day you're going to suddenly stop posting, one day we will never hear from you again, and that day will be the day /lit/ can discuss this kind of shit openly without some jackbooted androgynous tranny with a useless clitoris she sewed into something resembling a broken thumb diving headfirst into every thread to piss everyone off and wag your dick around like anybody gives a single shit about you. One day we will never have to see your stupid little trip again. I just can't wait until someone gets your government name so I can go piss on your unvisited grave. Unvisited because you have never been anything more than a wretched, miserable, instigating, attention seeking, walking-talking-breathing fleshy red sack of salty sun dried dogshit.

Yes, that's capitalism, I just don't understand how an entire ethnic group comes into play. Is every Jewish person in the world born into it? Are there no working-class Jews? I know there's Zionist lobbying, but why is the entire race the designated antagonist? It's no different than calling every white person a Nazi.

[Anonymous No.14669581]

>>14668493
Yeah, I have to say that I doubt PoC are even particularly into this, particularly given the replies the tweet got.
This is rich Jews and WASPs fucking with white people, trying to demoralise us and normalise writing us out of history.
And to the extent that there's a profit margin behind it, it might partially be to lure in new readers from a PoC background, but it's more like good PR to make woke white ladies want to buy this stuff.
This erasure of white people has happened in history, television and games as well.
They don't tell actual PoC stories. They take white culture and swap the white people out for blacks and other non-white groups.
This isn't primarily about empowering PoC (and nor would I support erasing us if this would empower PoC). This is about finding another vector to contribute to the destruction of even the memory of white people, while demoralising and robbing us of our heroes and people we can identify with along the way. This is a partial attempt to destroy our collective memory and stupidify us.

[Anonymous No.14669621]

>>14668493
I should also add that crap like this (the cover changes) is part of why white people accept crap like this (the cover changes).
It's this continual environment of demoralisation, that begins with the way history is taught as a selective negative highlights real of the misdeeds of white people. (Rather than a celebratory or holistic view of our impact on history, or a rich understanding of many peoples and their history.)
Kids get exposed to this crap by our priest caste (teachers, ultimately fed by academics). Taught implicitly that they and the group they're in are evil while everyone else is neutral, noble or like a child.
This type of thing is meant as an insult and a provocation that you can't react to without fear of negative consequences.
The fact that other white people don't respond to it is further demoralisation.
This kind of shit ultimately leads to white people having no respect for themselves and becoming degenerate. Having little hope for the future and not having kids. Offing themselves in massive numbers and not having resilience once they're economically superseded.
