Oh no, does that mean it's only a matter of time until all of his books are taken off the shelves and burned in public? Because he called his cat Nigger Man?
Yeah, Lovecraft was shockingly racist and watching people find out is always good for a chuckle.
I mean we've all always known "Shadow Over Innsmouth" was about interracial marriage. We've just kinda lived with that
He calls the cat in one of his stories Nigger Man as well.
Took me a bit off guard
Well well, the more you know. I find that very amusing and I won't hold it against him.

This dead horse didn't deserve such beating
I expected the joke be something like his cats name is N'ghoughtoul or something
You shouldn't hold it against him. He'd always held really weird views on race mixing, he never left his house, and subsisted entirely off of sweets and baked beans.
"On the Creation of Niggers" (1912) - H.P Lovecraft
"When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
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,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger."
Are you saying that Lovecraft was the first 4chan user?

I read that aloud in the voice of the old lady narrating the opening cutscene of Dark Souls and I can't stop laughing
