>inb4 "She can only write racially centered novels, is not very talented or original ultimately, and largely received the Nobel Prize because of affirmative action"
But this is literally true. You can look it up. She didn't win the year Beloved was written and only after a giant 'protest' organized by black 'intellectuals' the committee was pressured into awarding it to her next year. Can you even imagine protesting not winning an award for any conventional author? It's ridiculous and the very definition of 'only because I'm black'

Tolkien's verse--which litters the text of The Lord of the Rings--is generally accepted to be even worse."
You guys told me Harold Bloom was the good guy. He spoke of the evils of Harry Potter and I aligned myself with him.

It turns out he doesn't like the Lord of the Rings though? What in the hell could he have possibly meant by this?
