TIL H.P. Lovecraft, who was born in 1890, was a racist. Shocking!

Yawn. A lot of people were racist in those days. Many still are, some of them just hide it better. Heck, Stephen King uses the n-word in a lot of his works, including Under The Dome, The Shining, Misery, and a fair amount of his short stories. I'm half Black and I still read his books.

How could you not be triggered into complete mental paralysis when you read the cat's name in The Rats in the Walls? No way! How are you so strong? /s
