What is the point of all this? Why do black authors want more people to read them but they only seem to tend to write about racism, which most people don't like to think about? If you don't like to think about something, you won't pick up a book. It doesn't matter if the premise is just or whatever.

I understand why anyone would want to write about their experience, whatever it is. What I don't believe in is this cottage industry that has cropped up around being told what and how to think about social problems.

This is epitomized in the behavior of truly crazy leftist college students, who patronize minorities to an incredible extent.

I read a news story about how students at a particular liberal arts college (Oberlin) who ruined a local business because a couple black students were misbehaving in a cafe and asked to leave.

This kind of behavior is in itself racist and is what fuels conversion to the alt-right. Also their militant haranguing of white males contributes as well.

By making everything about racism they have made everything racist.

Oberlin was much worse. The bakery owner tried to stop two black shoplifters. They fled the store. He gave chase. The shoplifters proceeded to beat him up on a public sidewalk. For the next 6 months Oberlin students, organized by the schools Dean imo Diversity, picketed the store and tried to have its owner literally driven out if town.

I'm so glad they got soaked for 11 million.
