What a sad narrow worldview group of ppl you are if Baldwin is never even mentioned here. Just white men. Like do u srsly believe these are the only ppl who write classics? Not even trying to be sjw here, honestly

You clearly care more about sex and race labels than actual writting. I can smell it through your post. The mere fact that you mentioned the fact that nobody on /lit/ talks about niggs and women multiple times is proof. And this is not even entirely true. The Brönte sisters, Austen, Shelley and many Japanese writters are well regarded here as well as irl. Racism or not, here just aren't any worthwile niggs to speak of right now.

I've mentioned him before. One of my favourite authors.
People don't mention much other than Stoner and IJ in general, really, but I'm sure there's loads of Baldwin fans. Another Country and GR are classics.

I know this is a troll thread, but I do find it interesting that abbreviations such as
>ppl
>srsly
>sry
>etc.
are almost exclusively used by annoying globohomo woke types, particularly the women. It's like a weird pseudo-vernacular. They also usually write entirely in lowercase and use flower/star emojis a lot. I wonder if people use these things as a sort of 'tell' to indicate their cultural leanings online, in the absence of clothing etc.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these "why doesn't nobody talk about _____?" posts that I couldn't think of a few examples from the last week or month which disprove OP. Turns out Bladwin was a bit of a hot topic in December on /lit/ >>/lit/?task=search&ghost=&search_text=James+baldwin

It is clear that you are not interested in ideas, and merely the appearance of supporting that which you feel deserves it. You don't actually care about Baldwin's ideas, hence why you aren't talking about him, you care about appearing to care about black people.

I have tried reading African American and just African lit (via the Hiennemann AWS) and t.b.h. their literature just isn't that great, it's not bad but pretty much every time I read one of these books (which almost always includes a boohoo colonialism part) I'm left with a feeling of indifference. For people who suffer so much, they sure don't put their ordeals to paper very soulfully.

>why don't you talk about x?
You're being a fag, tell us why we should even care about x using evidence of the substance we are missing rather than just asserting that x is valuable apriori.
>you're bigoted and aren't worthy of discussing x

Another productive interaction with female logic.
