Idk what you mean, Modern American Literature, if such a thing exists, is trash. No one denies that however we can't overlook Robert Frost or Edgar Allan Poe. Ofc most amerimutts are stupid, doesn't mean all of them.

Nigger girls look like nigger dudes in a hair hat most of the time. Like the type of dudes you go coal mining with. It's probably the explanation why blacks are more likely to be homosexual too, the girls look like dudes.

That is to say, the culture suffers for lack of leisure. The slaves have been driven hard and never allowed to let up. It’s amazing how much good arts have come out of it.
