Closed petition Ban the distribution of these books, ‘Ten little N*ggers’ and ‘Ten little n*gger boys’ as they promote racism
Closed on
The books, ‘Ten little N*ggers’ and ‘Ten little n*gger boys’ are insults.
These books should not be sold especially on Amazon and other websites in the UK. They are blatantly racist books which should have no place in a multi-cultural society.
Here are a few lines from one of these books:
Ten little n*gger boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were Nine…
Two little n*gger boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was One.
One little n*gger boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were None
We ask the Home Office to ban the distribution of these books in the UK. This petition aims to highlight the impact of these books and discourage support of ignorant, racist views. Hopefully the result will be an eventual banning on the sale of these books.
These books are extremely offensive.
