I understand this person's plea all to well, as an Argentinian every time I read an American author describe one of his characters as white I know deep down he only means 56% white, it only follows that identifying with most of their hardships has become a real struggle over the past few years.

>>11192606
Considering how that is written makes me wonder just how many blacks there are on /lit/. They probably blend in well with the black twitter speak. These niggers are probably the ones that shit on mccarthy

Water Music (TC Boyle). It takes place in Niger.

I don't remember what its called but I saw an excerpt from some erotic book written by a nigress which was pure bibliotheka.

>>11192606
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.

Lots of scifi and fantasy books never describe the race of the characters, and the culture is different from reality so you have no way of telling. You're free to imagine them as any race you like.

That doesn't make it better for the redditors upcoming him

>>11192606
Can someone explain to me why it's the White Man's Burden to insert some niggers into our cultural works?

Any book set in an idyllic future would have the nigger race long since extinct.

>>11193240
It's not, but vocal brainlets will try to convince western society it is.

"I don't think it's fair to say if you want it write it yourself, to try to shut people up who complain. Not everyone is a writer. Black people shouldn't have to "write it ourselves" when we just wanted to see black people existing doing basic ass shit. It's not like I'm asking for some Hella specific shit that constitutes a vision."

>redditor cosplaying as a nigger for upvotes
Count me surprised. He does write too coherent to be black, though.

>>11193257
>Not everyone is a writer
in other words
>Black people aren't writers

This nigga is racist

let the market solve that problem for him

>>11193257
>black people shouldn't have to "do it themselves"
summarises it perfectly

AYO DIS NIGGA FINNA BOUTA GET DABBED ON

>>11193257
That is racist. Are implying vthat balacks can't be writers.

>>11192606
my god this board is shit. When will you grow up and get past your edgy phase.

>>11192606
Brief History of Seven Killings is the best book the redditor can find. Song of Solomon is also a step away from "we will overcome"/ I also liked Obioma's Fishermen

>>11193259
>Like I believe representation is so important.
>Like of course I love reading about the Civil rights movement but damn I just wanted to find a book where my sis could relate to the protagonist a little easier.

>>11193280
OP and the Redditor are shitty, but Afro-American lit does have this huge problem.

>>11192606
Any book where the protagonist isn't specifically described as having a certain skin color can have a black protagonist

>>11193284
That's not worse than the worst you can see on 4chan desu. Or wait a second.
Can it be that there are niggers here?

Anecdotal, but my mother is as liberal as they come, and a continuous reader of NYT/New Yorker contemporary /lit/. A few months ago she told me how wonderful it was to have all these new voices, but man do they all say the same story of rape, oppression, and bad police over and over again.

>>11192670
Did a fucking Argentinian just try to say that Americans are less white than he is? Are you joking pancho you stupid ape? Get off /lit/ and go back to fucking burros in the hills you dirty shitskin

It is pretty terrible that the only thing black people are capable of writing about is their racial identity. They've equated their entire modality of being with 'blackness' and they guard its borders and accuse their own of Uncle Tommery and treason every time they step out of bounds. Much like Nazis with their Arian identity. These are the two most obsessed groups with their group identity.

It really must suck to be a regular black among a sea of niggers.

ftfy. post-colonial lit has its problems, but no one can say thion'go bad guys arent black

10 Little Niggers written by the the only decent female author of all time: Agatha Christie.
It is a classic book.
Someone please suggest it to this clean, respectable coloured man on reddit.

>>11193350
>Only decent female author of all time
Ever heard of Virginia Woolf? Jane Austen? The Bronte sisters? George Eliot? Emily Dickinson?

>>11193311
You mean to say how much it must suck to be an exceptional black among a sea of regular niggers. But a regular black is a nigger.

Peter the Great’s nigger.

not in small towns. however urban environments tend to do a lot of harm to black youth

>>11192606
Are there any good books with a lot of characters who are loser NEETs with no goals or life ambitions that have hardcore Mommy fetishes? I feel like we don't really get enough representation in fiction.

>>11193293
no niggers 'ere, massah

>>11193790
>'ere
more like he'uh

Despite all this edgy racism, white Americans can't seem to live without their niggers. They can't even imagine a reality without them.
They'd probably kill themselves if niggers actually moved away* and they'd be left without all those "based blacks" and basketball players and rappers.

*not that niggers would ever do that voluntarily

>>11192606

Wow he and his little sister are psueds.

No one has given a real answer yet?

Invisible Man is the only good one OP. You know it’s great because the black critics accused Ellison of being “not black enough.”

>>11193257
I'm sorry that black have no identity other than their "blackness."

>>11193310
>this is what having a mutilated dick does to your sense of pride.

>>11194376
Invisible Man is garbage.

Huckleberry Finn, OP. And I guess The Feast of All Saints is pretty good for colonial nigger yaoishit written by the author of Interview with the Vampire.

A Moor, actually. Moors aren't really black, they're North African though "Moor" became a euphemism for black person at some point.
