>Toni Morrison is at least on the level of those writers you mentioned - certainly Orwell, Huxley, and Fitzgerald.
Bullshit. If you want to suck some BBC then cite Baldwin or Ishmael Reed, or even Alexandre Dumas. Not this boring bitch.

>>Bloom even includes her in his Western canon, and we all know *his* views on minority writers.
So Bloom is a racist fascist cunt, but we should take his opinion on this one nigress anyway because--well, just because. Strong argument, anon.

>So I'm not really sure, then, OP, what your complaint is. You took a class on Western Lit and you are reading a Western author.
George Lincoln Rockwell's a Western author, as is the Marquis de Sade and R. L. Stine. Maybe we think we should be studying Homer, Plato, Dante, Milton, Shakespeare. No, no, no--wrong gender, wrong color.

>> Her merit is acknowledged by even the most violent critics of minority activism within literature.
You cite one clown, Bloom, and suddenly all the critics in modern literature are kissing Morrison's fat ass. This is bullshit as well. If she were an old white male you couldn't sell her books as toilet paper.

>> The only possible explanation I can think of is that you don't want to read her because she's black and a woman, ironically participating in that racial and sexual discrimination you say she shouldn't talk about in her books.
Typical ad hominem comeback. Don't like a shitty white author? Gee, maybe they suck. Don't like a shitty black one? RACIST!
