>American civilization as we know it owes more, probably, to the Negro than to anybody. The colored people are the artistic leaven; out of their outcast state they have made a splendid cultural instrument. The almost solar power of their warm-heartedness has been a precious influence; their mirth, too, which explodes like a refreshing storm, often making these house-serfs the only sane thing in the white household. Yet everybody knows how they are requited by their fellow-citizens for their enormous gift to America. The colored people suffer more than it is easy to convey. Infant mortality among them is appalling. Since so many callings are barred to them, a majority live in sub-human squalor. Even Eleanor Roosevelt, in strenuous advocacy of political equality for colored people, was compelled to add that, as to social equality, she would not claim that for them. All one can do is to wonder why.

The only proper response to our age is to become /dandypilled/. Who is your favorite /dandy/core figure?

For me it's pic related along with Beau Brummell.
>Rapidly running out of money and grown increasingly slovenly in his dress, he [Brummell] was forced into debtors' prison in early 1835 by his long-unpaid Calais creditors; only through the charitable intervention of his friends in England was he able to secure release later that year. In 1840 Brummell died penniless and insane from syphilis at Le Bon Sauveur Asylum on the outskirts of Caen; he was 61. He is buried at Cimetière Protestant, Caen, France.[29]

>Alright anon, it's 3 pm and we just woke up. We're going to need to score some opium, loiter around the trendiest art galleries, have sex with five or six of the women who want to model for our paintings, get our hands on some amphetamines so we can bang out another 5,000 words for those avant-garde magnum opera of ours with rather blatant anti-jewish undertones, go on a pub crawl with the wives of our editors, then get back to our hotel by 6am so we can read another chapter of Nieztsche while receiving blowjobs from my schizoid arthoe cousin before going to bed so we can wake up and do it all over again. You ready?

Don't mind me I'm just making a Wyndham Lewis thread

The Art of Being Ruled
Dostoyevsky
Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite
frumpy asses

He and his followers got eternally BTFO by this handsome anglo lad.

What do you mean, ‘I haven’t read Wyndham Lewis?’ I thought you were supposed to be smart, anon!

Yes, and I get that, but just because it hasn't been used in such way doesn't preclude it from being used that way, only for the simple fact that you can use verbs in the progressive aspect/tense (-ing) as adjectives. The only problem is that it can be jarring for people There's four principal forms a verb can take:
Infinitive: (To) see
Past: Saw
Past Participle: Seen
Present Participle: Seeing

The present participle can act in three ways:
1. Verb (He is seeing someone)
2. Adjective (The seeing stone)
3. Noun (Seeing him again brought back memories)

And? You sound very frustrated, anon.
>Or can you only blow farts from that drafting mouth-hole of yours?
Anon, it's text. I'm not talking to you, let alone farting from my mouth at you.

Anybody know of any positive white literature written by whites for other white people?

I've recently become aware of my white identity and I'm looking to open my mind up to unheard and marginalized perspectives

Lazy and out-of-touch establishment opinions on whiteness from writers of immense privilege (e.g. Ta-Nehisi Coates, Theodore W. Allen, James Baldwin) are of zero interest to me

I'm looking for authentic white voices speaking truth to power, not sniveling brown resentment

>In 1931, after a visit to Berlin, Lewis published his book Hitler (1931), which presented Adolf Hitler as a "man of peace" whose party-members were threatened by communist street violence. This confirmed his unpopularity among liberals and anti-fascists, especially after Hitler came to power in 1933. Following a visit to Germany with his wife in 1937, Lewis changed his views and began to retract his previous political comments. He later wrote The Hitler Cult (1939), a book which firmly revoked his earlier willingness to entertain Hitler, but politically Lewis remained an isolated figure in the 1930s. In Letter to Lord Byron, Auden called him "that lonely old volcano of the Right." Lewis thought there was what he called a "left-wing orthodoxy" in Britain in the 1930s. He believed it was not in Britain's interest to ally itself with the Soviet Union, "which the newspapers most of us read tell us has slaughtered out-of-hand, only a few years ago, millions of its better fed citizens, as well as its whole imperial family".
Have any of you guys read it?
