    Fortunately for us and unfortunately for Jemele the hard racist left are not book buyers or readers. They will tweet their brains out, but actually reading is left to conservative white and black people. Last substantive post by a Tug leftard? Maybe the dazzler's enthusiastic support for daddy's vaxx and death to anyone not taking it?

    ===========

    Jemele Hill does not appeal to the average American. She caters to elites, self-proclaimed victims, and the wing of the population who demand white people continue to atone for their ancestors.

    As you see, this group is small. Building a business around their demographic is limiting and oversaturated.

    There’s a reason “Flash Cards: Sight Words” still sells more copies than “Uphill.”

    Despite what appears online, sight words are more useful to the public than a privileged multi-millionaire decrying that the system has held her back on the basis of skin color. The latter of which is the thesis of Jemele Hill’s failed memoir.

    She still probably got a 6 figure or higher guarantee for it even though it was never going to make money…the Left knows how to pay/launder money for their own.

    I don't know who that is but I think 5000 sales is damn good sales. Has anybody here tried to write and sell a book?

    This is a major publisher. I'm pretty sure she's expected to sell at least 50,000.

    if she goes to write a sequel the publisher will say "Up yours, Hill"

    Book deals are a great money laundering scheme. Someone will make sure the publisher is made whole don't worry.

    Were they purchased as a form of punishment for the buyer?

    Nietzsche only sold like 250 copies of "Beyond Good and Evil" printed at his expense.... Van Gogh never lived to see a painting sold. I don't care to read the far left (despite what you label me) . 5000 seems like a lot to me. Writing books is a huge time commitment for very little money except for very few people

    I've heard that the publishers make all their money off of 1-3 books or authors they're probably ashamed to put out there - like The Property Brothers bio or some shit or one of the old white dude spy novel guys with generic names or Nicolas Sparks type shit. The rest is mastubatory literary or political shit they know doesn't make money.

    There's also a certain number of books you or the publisher can just buy yourself to make the New York Times bestseller list and so you can call yourself that an NYT best selling author.

    They know they can dump them on libraries or universities or something on the back end. Tax payers end up paying for everything one way or antoher.

    "I'm not that interested" ...but

    The tug woketards are really defensive lately. They're so 'not interested' that they feel compelled to beclown themselves.
