Both in one represented amply by the works of Zora Neale Hurston. Since you're not some passive aggressive, superficial beyatch we can enjoy a nice, long conversation about her works: biographical, ethnographic and fiction. You start.

Then one sends the slut packing.

Sorry, but I didn't realize that Carson McCullers, Virginia Woolf, Anzia Yezierska, Hanya Yanigihara, Han Kang, Renata Adler, Margaret Millar, Elizabeth Hardwick, George Eliot, Djuna Barnes, and Elena Ferrante weren't women.

I also didn't realize that Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, nor Nella Larsen are not both black and women.

Are you also trying to tell me that Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison aren't black?

I think you're the racist and sexist here Missy. This date is over. I'm reporting you on twitter btw because I've been recording this date.

I would punch her square in the jaw. When she fell back on her ass I'd get on top of her and with one hand strangle her stupid feminist neck and with the other pull her pants down. I'd choke her unconscious while I rape her fat whorish pussy and I'd cum as deep as I could inside her before getting up, dismembering her body, and lighting it on fire.

George Eliot, Jane Austin, Bronte, and my personal favorite Dickinson.
I have Frederick Douglas, and frankly I love his prose. but anything beyond that I feel would be pretentious because I frankly believe that Blacks current status in society is self imposed and they mostly write of their own affairs. If you’d like to talk about Hughy Lewis and Bobby Seale I’d be happy to. But I doubt you’d appreciate my opinion.

Alas, the systemic racism of my formal education actively hid from me the many marvellous works of so many women and African American writers. O sorrow, O shame, how pitiable is my state. Perhaps, dear companion, you could direct me toward some that aren't shit?
