What is the TPaB of literature?

[Anonymous No.6329679]

No such thing exists.

[Anonymous No.6329693]

It would be a picture book of STD ridden black vaginas and santorum leaking prolapsed anus with "nigguh bix nood muffughen where da white wimmenz at fugg whitey" written all over them for about 650 pages.

I don't even like Kendrick Lamar, but you have never heard a single song of his, have you?

I'm not a fan of the "what's the x version of y" thing.

But this is exactly what you're looking for.

Add in Native Son for good measure, but you can stop reading at the end where it gets really Communist preachy.

[Anonymous No.6329985]

Kendrick Lamar for me is the type of inoffensive "conscious" shit that condescending liberal white people enjoy because they like to picture blacks listening to it and learning to see the flaws in their lifestyles

and despite all the bravado, the underlying message is basically against black culture and for the homogenization of society under white values

So Booker T. Washington is your man

He calls the racist power structure "the enemy" in Mortal Man.

Besides that, how a black man relates to his people/community doesn't have to be "offensive" to anyone. Not everything has to be a deep, academically intense critical race deconstruction of white supremacy.

>Booker T. Washington is your man

Black dude 1:Booker T. said to get educated, man.

Black dude 2: Oh hell no, nigga. I ain't doin' that shit. I'm getting up on that Webby Dubois shit, mafucker. Imma fight my marginalization in white society by rejecting the white educational model. I refuse to be no slave.

Black dude 1: Aight, man. Imma go fly them Tuskagee planes, real low. Fuck yo bullshit.

What a sharp eye for social structures that guy has

His comments on Ferguson are everything you need to know about what's really behind the faux radicalism of the blacker the berry and what have you

Nice parody bro, it's almost like white Booker T. fans are racist or something

>I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean

>It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Piru's, only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!

It's not exactly subtext.

The book takes a weird left turn into "YAY COMMUNISM" at the end, and I think it suffers for it.

I don't care what you think.

Thanks. ;^)

>It's almost like white Booker T. fans are racist or something
Those exist? Kidding. I was really more poking fun at the rivalry between Washington and DuBois, and how their bickering managed to further impede black Americans coming together as a community, at least at the time. They both were right about American higher education. It's pretty much a racist machine.

Well to be fair, this is in the same song

>You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga

It's not Kendrick's actual view (which is actually impressively nuanced) but still.

All this proves is that /pol/ can't into listening to an album all the way through. I bet they think Backseat Freestyle is a celebration of ignorant hoodrat attitudes.

I hate you all. Why is this sudden influx of crossboarders? Shit's disgusting. They don't even assimilate here, they just blatantly shitpost and memepost.
