It's so easy to look at the descendants of freed slaves and ask yourself: how can they continue to behave and act this way? This book made me understand why they do what they do just a little more.

We are dealing with people who can't even read an analog clock. They are descendants of a defeated race that lingered and spread through the country.

I don't hate negros, and I don't excuse their actions, but I need to try and understand just a little.

They are descendants of a race brought to North America by the Anglos.

Dumbass take. Racists like you are a literal vestige of human thought. You will NEVER understand because every train of thought you have rests on ignorant and perverse foundations. Die in your ignorance. We don't need the "understanding" or tolerance of men like you.

Don't try and bully me. Don't do that. I read a book relating to the treatment and effects of an emancipated race brought to America against their will and I'm seeing the aftermath of those events as I live and breathe. I made a thread about it in hopes that some random Anons have read the book also.

I mean, after these latest Israeli shenanigans, more people than I could've imagined clearly started showing their fatigue with the ol Holocaust card.

Haven't read this, but Song of Solomon is one of the worst fucking books I've ever read.

"Oh, what if blacks murdered people, can you imagine such an outlandish territory for fiction???"

"This black man is bad because he is a LANDLORD, the sympathetic character is the tenant who got drunk instead of paying rent."

"This woman went insane because she wanted to fuck her idiot cousin so bad."

It's 100% insane ethnic resentments that even in-universe it's clear that blacks caused their own misery but they're still mad anyway, it's incredible really.

It's the trauma of not knowing your grandparents, the trauma of having your children stripped away and sold, and you know all the other horrors that happened to these people's ancestors. I just get melancholy reading books like these because there is no fix and even 159 years later we are still feeling the effects in our society.

It's why they hate education, the law, etc. and they love to be self destructive degenerates; the majority (not ALL) of them are just so fucking dumb. Look at the stock they come from. It just sucks.

In my school experience, most of the books we were forced to read, written by black authors, complained about racism. Obviously American public schools provide a incredibly narrow slice but I recall having to read books that just complained about whites and how oppressed and downtrodden blacks are.
We had to read roll of thunder hear my cry in middle school (can’t remember anything about it besides it being about blacks in the south) and being so bored.
The next book by some miracle was about Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition and all the shit that went down. Way more interesting and actually gave accounts of heroism and staunch transcendence of hardship.
In short, most books about blacks I had to read in school were just complain fests which were a waste of time.

They are descendants of people deemed unwanted by their fellow Africans so they were sold to Anglos. If you're a cheiftain are you really going to liquidate your hardest workers? Your brightest minds? Your kindest and most helpful people? Your most self-sufficient? No. You're going to take the criminals and the lazy and the stupid and the violent and sell them off.

Ralph Ellison is better in my opinion. Invisible Man and his posthumous novel have wonderful universal themes that people still get filtered by looking at the surface level. He was a charter member of the Fellowship of Southern Writers just like Shelby Foote. Yet he was from Oklahoma. How the fuck does that even happen? He wrote good literature, is what he did. He supported lots of Southern writers because they shared his disillusionment with modernity and took a close look at the soul of man.

As is true for about 98% of black authors, they are but figureheads and their works used as artifice by the collegiate left to keep the canon as black as possible for no point other than for it to be as black as possible, to I guess help them sleep better or to fuck with white dead authors posthumously or some otherwise retarded agenda. She'll be forever assigned to lit majors and won't do anything but piss off for the gayest or blackest or most womanly (or some combination therein) among them.

>> No.23053886

I think the problem though is that 50% of the country thinks it’s reasonable to just expect them to be like whites and Asians and when they fail just slowly level civilization until it’s at a level where the stats don’t look quite so bad. So you should be asking fewer questions about that 13% and more questions about that 50% because the former is almost natural while the latter is obviously some kind of deeply dysfunctional Utopianism that is neither natural nor good for anyone.

Beloved is pretty good as far as books like this go though.

>>23053075
And white Americans were undesirables to a significant degree as well so they should all be poor and violent just the same but they’re not. It plays a factor, sure, but there’s just no denying the history of slavery, Jim Crow, and the years since haven’t exactly molded these people into something great. It’s one thing to admit that there’s no clear solution to ameliorate this, that it’s neither an excuse nor admission of guilt for those living, and that it’s not helpful to dwell on it, but it still is obviously true that their shitty lot is owed at least in part to their history in America and not their genes or caste or whatever else.

It's simple. They're trapped in a cycle of poverty that started during slavery. It's the same thing many other poors of all races are going through but blacks have to deal with the added layer of their peers shaming them if they "act too white".

>>23050593
They hate education because their schools have been glorified babysitting centers for generations. They hate the law because it isn't enforced in their neighborhoods and acting tough is just how you survive in the ghetto.

I don’t blame blacks. I blame whoever the fuck freed them and didn’t send them back to Africa. It’s like blaming women for being whores, when it’s clearly men’s fault for not being able to control their women. But really this isn’t the case either. Men can control women, and whites can control blacks, it’s just that they are stopped from doing so by their own governments.

But even the west was in poverty at the exact same time, even up to the 50s in the UK and Europe it was. America was built on people fleeing shitty situations to build a better life. They faced similar racism like Irish white monkey statements, religious persecution etc but the way we look at it is twisted and manipulated.
White people are no monolothic group, the actual people who caused the slave trade and most oppression was the same people who dictate the conversation now and rile blacks up to hate the whole group of whites. Instead of focusing their efforts on actual perpetrators and their descendents they want to target everyone based on a fantasy.
