Publisher Drops Author for Sending Racist & Sexist Tweet To Bookerista Blogger

I'm sure Crystal Wright is somewhere saying, "yeah, racism & sexism doesn't pay"
Crystal Wright, the recipient of the tweet from the white liberal author, is no stranger to regular Booker Rising readers. From The Blaze: "A Minnesota-based publishing house has dropped one of its authors for calling a black conservative woman an 'Aunt Tom' and 'ignorant c–t' on Twitter. Author Scott Colbert has since deleted the Friday tweet to Crystal Wright, known as '@GOPBlackChick,' and locked his Twitter feed, but not before conservative commentator and bestselling author Brad Thor highlighted it on his own Twitter account. Thor, a frequent Glenn Beck television and radio guest, replied to Colbert: 'Did you just hurl a racial slur at my friend?' Thor then proceeded to tweet Colbert’s publisher, KHP Publishers, Inc., and many of Colbert’s followers a screenshot of his epithet. By Saturday, KHP had posted a message on its website announcing it had terminated its contract with an author, whom it did not name, due to an 'inexcusable' incident."
