"When we talk about American black contribution to literature we're not talking about literal texts but rather the formation of language itself. Whites wrote the words, but blacks created the language and more critically the basic facets of American expression. Thus all experiences become inherently black experiences. The formation of the majority of American text is shaped through black dialects and is in essence a form of blackface - pure black expression and experiences filtered through white voices and white lenses into a diluted context." - John Green (in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=GQdMgtncpoE))

Is he essentially correct? Is there really such an unconscious affect on our writing or no?

He has a racist confirmation bias

As he would tell you he views history through a lens

The lens he chose here was "let's assume everything is racism."

I did myself the disservice of watching the video. He never says anything along those lines.

I hate this guy as much as the next jaded autist but you have to do better.

That's not the point. The purpose of this thread is talking about how inferior blacks are.
