>“Of course they can’t let Niggers use the beach at a Southern resort – can you imagine sensitive persons bathing near a pack of greasy chimpanzees? The only thing that makes life endurable where Blacks abound is the Jim Crow principle, and I wish they’d apply it in New York both to Niggers and to the more Asiatic types of puffy, rat-faced Jews!”

My favorite Lovecraft trivia is when he wrote the below poem about the confederate flag and left it on his principal's desk after finding out her father fought for the union. He was a literal /pol/tard troll.

>When first this warlike Banner was unfurl'd
>A noble cause was born into the World;
>No purer Flag hath e'er defy'd the Wind
>Proclaiming high the Rights of Human kind.
>The cruel YANKEE, midst ignoble Fight,
>Stood aw'd, or fled in Panick at the Sight;
>And though the South by Treachery's o'erthrown,
>The Mem'ry of past Valor ne'er is gone:
>Midst Ruin vast, and overwhelming Loss,
>All Southrons true revere the STARRY CROSS!

He's a Northerner. People from outside the South all have stupid uninformed ideas about Black people.
If he lived down here, he would know that beaches were segregated because white beachgoers had to constantly save drowning Black people who forgot they didn't know how to swim. The Black beaches were set up in shallower areas where your feet could touch the sea floor.

You've never read it? It's great.

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a NIGGER.

HP Lovecrafts letter to Rheinhart Kleiner upon discovering one of his correspondents is black:
>Speaking of poetical reviewers—I have not yet recovered from the shock the newspaper gave me last night! At the First Baptist Church in this city, on Friday evening, there occurred the annual ceremony of the award of the “Spingarn Medal”, which is given to the member of the negro race who achieves the most notable success in ‘any field of elevated or honourable human endeavour’ during the year. At these impressive exercises, Gov. Beeckman of Rhode Island gracefully awarded the badge of African supremacy to the Boston poet, critic, & literary editor—William Stanley Braithwaite!!!!!!!!!!!! Think of it—chew upon it—let it sink into your astonished & outraged consciousness—the great Transcript dictator, the little czar of the Poetry Review, is a nigger—a low-born, mongrel, semi-ape!—Ye gods—I gasp—I can say no more! Aid me, ye benign elves & daemons of anticlimax! So this—this—is the fellow who hath held the destinies of nascent Miltons in his sooty hand; this is the sage who hath set the seal of his approval on vers libre & amylowellism—a miserable mulatto! To think of the years I have taken this nigger seriously, reading his critical dicta as though he were a Bostonian & a white man! I could kick myself! William’s picture is printed in the Bulletin beside the news item, & from the likeness given I can deduce no visible sign of his black blood. A heavy moustache droops down over what may be thick negroid lips. But after all—I suppose he has only a slight taint of the beast. No nigger blacker than a quadroon would be likely to attain the intellectual level he has undoubtedly reached. I am not minimising what the fellow knows, but I think it monstrous bad taste for the Transcript to foist a black upon its literary readers!

Seriously why can't Leftists just enjoy HPL by merely finding his OTT racism funny? It is unironically hilarious, the stuff he writes in his rafe.
