Lovett or Leave It

Across three episodes, Damon Young referenced the title of his 2019 memoir, noting its provocative content such as white nudity, slurs, and the link between masturbation and prayer, and joking about wanting it banned to boost sales. The podcast introduced the book mainly as a talking point in his introductions without offering a recommendation.

Episode: Ginni Thomas’s Unlimited Text Plan

It was discussed as a book that Damon wrote in which he covers topics such as white nudity, slurs, and the link between masturbation and prayer, but it has yet to be banned.

I have a book, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Blacker, which was released in 2019, three years ago to this day.

In the first six pages alone, I talk about naked white people. I have slurs. I talk about the connection between masturbation and prayer.

That sucks because if they banned it, it'll just rocket up the bestseller list.

I have book banned FOMO.

Who do I have to pay? Who do I have to kill? Who do I have to fuck to get my books banned?
