I was talking about great white authors and a normie asked me who a great black author was, and no one could name a single black writer or book. Looked up a list of black authors and dont know any of them or their works and most were from 100 years ago, not many current. Are we wrong? There has to be one current famous one. Do they not know how to create a story?

Toni Morrison, Zora Neal Hurston, Alice Walker... There are many.

They are certainly not on the level of Hemmingway or Joyce, but black women have written novels.

I actually read "The Color Purple" decades ago when it was hailed as a great novel. It is poorly written and completely forgettable. Certainly affirmative action at work.

Actually 'written' or just dictated?
