The ‘Black booksellers can’t handle a ton of orders’ is the wrong narrative to try to push right now, journalists. We can. We are. We do. Regularly.

Lets try to be a tad more creative with the bylines, ie: ‘A Rush to Purchase the Same 5 ‘Anti-Racist’ Titles Creates Backorders and Proves that’s the Real ‘White Fragility’ is Practicing Patience’

Then, take the time to explain to readers NOT in the industry (which are...idk...most) what a backorder actually is so that a person walks away from said article without continuing the implicit bias that Black businesses are somehow incapable of handling increased business
