My racing heart, it stops and starts
Breaks apart and paints the walls
Where did all this pain come from?
Break the laws and sell the cause
Break my chains, I change my locks
I want to talk to the spirit Gods
I talk to you through broken jaws
Broke my teeth on something hard

Ralph Ellison.

MF Doom

DOOM and Pusha-T cemented to me the idea that poetry is a retarded endeavor nowadays and that rap music is the evolution of poetry that we deserve, the only thing that can be called progress. Instead of tedious, mechanical and anti-natural metrics with occasional rhymes, the acrobatic rhyme schemes of DOOM and Pusha's triple, quadruple entendres are the modern, logical conclusion evolution of what poetry used to be, and it's about time.

Classical poetry for pseuds, slam poetry for complete faggots, rap music for real enlightened intellectuals

It’s also considered proper to commit yourself to 70 hours a week slaving in a factory and parading your transgender children through the street in America.

I rest my case.

As a distant relative of Dumas, he was more of a fucking quarter, washed down to 1/16th than a full black you dumb nigger. At least he had more mentality than a full brained nigger.

Aren't you the tranny from /tv on 4+4 that keeps shitposting trying to validate yourself from cutting off your cock? You should write a book yourself and let anons review it.

If blacks could write they wouldn't be blacks.

More embarrassing is keeping your values and interest the lowest common denominator of what you think is the "patrician" thing to think. I think poetry is obsolete dross, and I stand by it.

>>17709776

good one, Invisible Man is amazing
>>17710713
I haven't read Coates other than his articles and didn't care for them but Butler is top tier sci-fi

I'll say James Baldwin. What's so based is when you realize all these shitposters trying to justify their passed down beliefs will only defend it anonymously and online

Based as fuck. Everything he puts out is lucid and interesting. Definitely deserved his Nobel.

>>17714936
>passed down beliefs

Dead giveaway the person speaking is a retard. The reality no one wants to face is that those neo-white-nationalists and alt-right types are made, by society, not by tradition. They are a reaction, ultimately a philistine, dilettante neurotic paranoid reaction, but a reaction nonetheless to a world that leans too radically in favor of extreme ideologies of the left and claims to be so anti-racist it goes full circle and becomes racist against whites, which is not the result of some kind of conspiracy theorist view of the world but blatantly and painfully open and verifiable.

And don't try to hide behind cowardly arguments (fueled by a demonization of anonymity) that anonymity in the internet is what emboldens such ideologues, they are all over the public political discourse and they have not a fuck to give what people think, see that Richard Spencer type.
