[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tyler’s latest post on his book; I don’t want to nitpick but I get weird vibes about some of the listed facts:

1) “My publisher wanted Jesus, I wanted Faith. Jesus lost.” - Jesus lost? I’m agnostic so I don’t care either way but isn’t Tyler a Christian? Almost seems like a brag to put down Jesus. Weird, especially considering your girlfriend is a “Christian celeb”.

2) A White guy co-wrote your book? Why? No Black writers available? You’re trying to make it more palatable to White audiences? This is a book in being Black in America and you’re a Black advocate…

3) “When my parents read for the audiobook my mom who is a professional speaker STRUGGLED in the studio. My dad who spends most of his retired life watching every sport in his man cave… Killed it.” - So tired of Black men and their constant public put downs of Black women (I’m a Black woman btw). Dude, this is your mother. Maybe you have a super joking relationship in private but this is such an unnecessary public dig. Again, you’re promoting a book on being Black in America while making a jab at your Black mother. Be better Tyler. Lift women up. Lift Black women up!

Did not mean to get riled up y’all. [/quote]

He mentioned VS constantly in his first book, like he thought it was some kind of recurring joke. It wasn't funny and it still isn't. That aside, the first three comments are enough to make me hope his new book bombs and bombs hard. I read his first book. I liked most of it. I did think some of it was whiny. Do I think he has done anything between then and now to warrant a second book? Nope. And pretty sure Jen won't get mentioned once, in the acknowledgements or otherwise. [/quote]
