>In 1924 Lovecraft moved to New York to marry Sonia Greene. Though initially infatuated with the city, Lovecraft's attitude soon soured in large part due to his virulent xenophobia. "Whenever we found ourselves in the racially mixed crowds which characterize New York, Howard would become livid with rage," Greene later wrote. "He seemed almost to lose his mind."

The meme is true

>He also married a Jew.

Let’s face it, Lovecraft’s racism is a product of his pathetic personality and complete lack of self-confidence, skills or awareness. The dude was a total moron who could’ve starred in those “LATER” comics about racists ranting on the internet after encountering a decent minority in real life.

Is it true that he stopped being racist later in his life? I even heard from some people that he also became a socialist too; which I doubt.

For as long as he wrote Lovecraft never shied from exposing the fundamentally corrupt and soulless nature of hill people, Negroes, and the Irish

I hear this meme a lot, but I think he just grew bored of hardcore racism.

He was secretly homosexual. He had a spic twink in Florida where he stayed for vacation with. When he died, he let his twink have control over all his stories.

Urban metropolitan Babylons are incompatible with the assumption of an agrarian, landed citizenry the country was founded upon, and the racial aspect of his revulsion at these seas of humanity can as easily be attributed to contempt for the acquisitive, undignified, and slavish nature of the urbanite, and urban living. Familiarity breeds contempt -- or you could say "White flight provided the normative ecosystem for Lovecraft to soften his views." Your kind cannot win concessions from the dead, so you'll settle for slander. There's Eldritch horror in that.
