How horribly racist. A young man, born into this world without half the means which us white folk have, has nevertheless been decerning enough not only to find his way to this most spectacular forum, but also picked up one of the best books of the English language. Yet your only response is one of virulent hatred. Truly despicable. People like OP should be treated with respect: for the to reach the same place as you or I took twice the cleverness and thrice the effort.

Ah, I'm glad to see an African gentleman educating himself on the finer productions of the white male mind. I would be acting disingenuously if I admitted that I had ever made love with an African (I would be on the bottom, of course), but I have read Roxeannne Gay, so I can say with some authority that I know what it would be like atleast to be suffocated by beautiful ebony bbw. It is one thing to oppress with a white phallus, something else entirely to take in the seed of a black body. Black bodies are strong and powerful. European stock crumbles and is fragile under the musty sexual dominance of a throbbing erect black man in the prime of his life. A world would come crashing down on me if I could have the privilege (no I am not trying to be smart) of a cultured phallus rocking in and out of me. Please OP be that man for me. Only violently and wild seize me down to the depths of what I deserve. FUCK MY WIFE OP. FUCK ME AND MY WIFE SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH

It was good, but the only thing I really thought was special was the depiction of hell. I'd take Pynchon's lolrandumbs over Joyce any day.

I don't get anyone's problem with the hell sermon, it's perfectly understandable. The purpose of its length is obvious, so I don't get that as a complaint.

To whoever is the moron randomly reporting me for ban evasions, first:
What the fuck?? I'm not who you think I am. Read my fucking posts (my content is diffetent) before you go around erroneously reporting people. Kudos to you though because I'm also trying to ban that anon as well.
Second (to the mods) I haven't been banned in months so I'm only evading now because my ban was false. And also I don't have a static IP.
