have you ever refuse to read some author because of his ideology? i'm a black man, from latino-america, and i recently discovered that many authors that i already read and liked were racists. well, basically, all the relevant authors before the twenty-first century, especially the americans, were racists. it's a historical context thing, i know.
anyway.
at first, it's a bit uncomfortable to deal with it. but i don't think i would refuse to read a novel because of that, unless it was something really done to offend me. however, in any case, i feel a bit uncomfortable, for example, to say i enjoyed reading lovecraft or faulkner. it's hard to explain. maybe, this is clearer for someone born and raised in usa, amdist a latent and frequent racial tension, because of the reminiscences of the recent segregationist past.
another example, i've already seen many people refuse to read gabriel garcia marquez and pablo neruda because they were leftists.
how do you deal with it? it's something you just try to ignore?

It's a matter of separating the artist from the art. I hate muslims with a burning passion but I think Cat Stevens made some fantastic music back in the day. There's nothing to deal with, really. You either let the artist's beliefs interfere with your appreciation of their art or you don't.

I know what you mean I want to read Crippled America but Trump is so racist!
Caleb Martinez
It isn't but you've taken your identity and made it the cornerstone of your ideology. A common problem in the US especially.

Samuel Flores
every reasonable and honest person is a racist, i.e. accepts a racial hierarchy of competence

I just don't like how self righteous Muslims are, how they think that because they bow on a run seven times a day that they're getting into Paradise and everyone else isn't. I also don't like how you try to force everyone to follow your rules, and how intolerant you are of other cultures. If my government was actually committed to multiculturalism and freedom of religion, they wouldn't let you guys in because you'll ruin it for everyone.
Not him by the way, just another infidel.

Would you have universal brotherhood with a neo-nazi? I bet you've complained about /pol/ before yet you don't realize that Islam is a browner, less computer literate version of /pol/
