An early manuscript of controversial right-wing figure Milo Yiannopoulos\u2019s cancelled autobiography \u201cDangerous\u201d has been made public. It includes editor comments calling the writing \u201cself-aggrandizement and scattershot thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI will not accept a manuscript that labels an entire class of people \u2018mentally ill,\u2019\u201d <\/em>one comment reads.<\/p>\n

Yiannopoulos\u2019 book deal with publishing giant Simon and Schuster was cancelled in February after it was revealed<\/a> that he advocated pedophilia. He had reportedly secured an advance of $255,000. In July, Yiannopoulos sued Simon and Schuster, with the publisher submitting documents showing their objections to the manuscript. \u00a0The text is available for download<\/a> on the New York State court\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The editor is a conservative man who has published books for 45 & other folks with similar opinions. You can see that in the occasional \u201cgood point\u201d comments. But mostly he was very politely having NONE of Milo\u2019s bullshit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s glorious.<\/p>\n

Editor Michael Ives\u2019 criticisms of the book suggest poor writing amid racial epithets. \u201cThroughout the book, your best points seem to be lost in a sea of self-aggrandizement and scattershot thinking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDelete entire chapter,\u201d<\/em> says another comment.<\/p>\n

Other notes read, \u201cDelete irrelevant and superfluous ethnic joke\u201d<\/em> and \u201cThis is not the time or place for another black-dick joke.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t read the manuscript. Just the comments. They\u2019re…amazing. Even better than the excerpts in the filing.<\/p>\n

And a pretty good summary of the book I imagine. pic.twitter.com\/2kPESxAlA9<\/a><\/p>\n

Yiannopoulos was permanently banned from Twitter after he was accused of orchestrating the harassment of African-American actor Leslie Jones. During an appearance on HBO\u2019s \u2018Real Time\u2019<\/em> with Bill Maher alongside comedian Larry Wilmore and commentator Malcolm Nance, both African-American, Yiannopoulos told Maher he needed to get \u201chigher IQ guests.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ives\u2019 notes also indicate Yiannopoulos\u2019s tendency to not use citations to back up his assertions. \u201cCitations need\u201d and \u201cno basis to say this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In October, the former Breitbart News editor was filmed<\/a> singing America the Beautiful along with Richard Spencer, the white nationalist figure who engaged in a \u2018Heil Hitler\u2019<\/em> salute.<\/p>\n

Weeks later, Yiannopoulos called<\/a> thousands of Syrian refugees \u201crapists,\u201d<\/em> before backtracking on his comments when he discovered they were actually Christian. He made the comments on an Australian radio station.<\/p>\n

In February, protests turned to riots<\/a> at the University of California in Berkeley after Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak. Police said they could not guarantee the safety of attendees amid a crowd of demonstrators that included about 150 aggressive anti-fascist protesters intent on shutting down the forum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
