#RWAStansRacism I've resigned from RWA & I can use that hashtag. What really pisses me off Courtney M is why I rejoined RWA. If the white pearl-clutchers want a private racist club, they won't use my $$ to fund it.

You’d swear it wouldn’t be possible. And yet here we are.

RWA has been a problem for years. Courtney & other BPOC Board members did a lot to move it from "Gone With the Wind" to "An Extraordinary Union." This sucks & sends a clear message, especially since they used Twitter comments to make a decision.

I don’t know why they didn’t contact Courtney privately if this were a “tone” issue. Clearly it wasn’t. I hope the fallout is big but I worry it won’t be.

IMO, it will be a mixed bag. The RITA awards closed. If enough people resign as judges they'll have to scramble for more. The other issue is PR. Irony: Courtney wasn't the only one on point abt the racist editor. It started w/a Black woman's tweet.

Yes. And there is so much racism in romance novels. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
