Name 5 historically prominent and GOOD black writers

do you even know any blacks who read?

Obviously the Negroid race is not inherently, biologically inferior, so let's just not even bring that up.

[Anonymous No.8893398]

The only "historically prominent" black writers I can even think of are Maya Angelou and Frederick Douglas. I've never read either of them but from what I know of their work I'm pretty sure they're just forced memes.

'Historically prominent' assumes that black people lived as equal citizens in large numbers in Western countries.

Asfor good writers currently...lots of people like Zadie Smith. I think she is half white though.

Pretty much anything involving blacks in literature is related to some kind of social issue though. Never read a book about blacks just being blacks without there being some message about them being oppressed by whitey.

Severus wasn't a writer unless you count the world itself as a slate. Honestly though you might as well ask us to name 5 historically prominent and GOOD Iroquois writers or Maori writers. These people for the most part had no written language until they were colonized a few hundred years ago.

They were inferior in terms of their civilisation. That does not mean they were inferior intellectually.

The Romans colonised Britain with ease because of the superiority of their civilisation. They considered the Britons savages. Are Britons inferior to Italians? The Britons would later crush the Chinese in the Opium wars and bring them under their hegemonic rule. Is the Briton intellectually superior to the Chinese? No.

Racism never stands up to scrutiny, bitch tits.

That's what they are, and yet they try so hard to deny it.

Is it because, just maybe, on some level they realise that racism is repugnant, and that being an annoying little racist cunt is shameful?

White people and niggers started equal, as did all races. But natural selection, based on their environments, shaped their evolution. Africa is the perfect human environment for a tribal state, it's always warm and has abundant vegetation and large animals. And so natural selection had no need to improve intelligence. White people (and Asians) started as niggers, but they also lived in a difficult climate, which meant that you needed more than speed to survive. You needed intelligence. The European civilization since the dawn of agriculture has prioritized intelligence, not so with Africans. So yeah the Britons started as inferior, but it didn't take long for them to catch up once natural selection had its way. The Chinese lost a war but were never enslaved like niggers were, that's different. I also don't think that niggers are inferior because they were enslaved, I think they're inferior because their race has accomplished absolutely nothing for all of human history. Civilization was still quite young when the Britons were beaten, and the Chinese had still accomplished great things when they were beaten. Sub Saharan Africa is different.

She's prominent in the same way as Margaret Atwood or David Mitchell, i.e. an above average writer that receives a disproportionate amount of praise considering the actual merit of her work. I don't know if you've noticed but the book industry has a strong liberal bias and a tendency to laud any black writer they can find. I've got a whole binder full of contemporary authors that are better than Morrison but they're not black so they don't have the same cachet among the American cultural establishment.
