It’s sometimes called “American culture”, but yes, it is also a culture.

that's funny you said this because i put down invisible man, at the age of 15, thinking "only someone with the mind of a child or a hillbilly surprised that black brains are capable of thought, would enjoy this pickaninny bullshit."

I’ve only read Wretched of the Earth but it was pretty based. Interesting points about redemptive violence, although it’s really more of “Ra ra” book to get the reader fired up than it is a good “how to” for resistance.

Alexander Dumas, obviously.

Three Musketeers
Other D'Artgnan Romances
Count of Monte Cristo
The Black Tulip
La Reine Margot
Etc.

One of the best writers who ever lived. Admittedly only quarter-cast, but still much blacker than me being not one drop.

Can I start saying that I'm a black person, like transrace or something?
Like with all the transgender and everything, would people be allowed to say that I can't say I'm black because I was born white?

Alexandre Dumas.

[N E M O . !!GgBWHLRiayD No.19966477]

When I was a child in Unitedstates, I used to regard colourist ethnoidentities purely as something expediently customary, and their stereotypes: comedic, and would utilize them thusly to be silly, and/or to joke around, almost like a "4chanian" would; I would always get a bit confused when I was told that I should not be doing that, and I could not fathom how it could possibly frustrate anyone; I was even termed a "racist" once in one of my report cards, haha; oddly, it never got hostile enough to where it would have enraged anyone.

Unitedstates really is the circus of the world.

Which ones among these are not about race?
I'm interested in what black people write about outside of their race.

Do you want to read Joyce without any mention of Irish people, Woolf about Londoners, Bellow about Chicagoans, Bolaño about Mexicans, Dostoeyevsky about Russians?

Don't be stupid and lazy; if you don't know why you should want to read a novel by Mingus NGMI, and Delany is one of the most recognizable sci-fi authors ever.

Thank your fellow anon for recommending you great books.
