Cooper Bailey
I cannot read about black people, that is simply not an option.
Ayden Parker
Are there any books by black authors that aren't about race?
Carson Collins
i don't know the race of the authors i read
Thomas Perry
then they're white.
Aaron Phillips
Why?
Robert Butler
This makes a lot of sense. Every novel that a black author writes is about race and being black. It must be a cash cow.
No.
Christopher Brown
No, black literature is solely reliant on race because that's what works and gets the awards.
I swear Maya Angelou and Ralph Ellison made the worst feely feels book ever just to win awards in literally circles.
Luis Thomas

Puskin is black? What?
Are you really willing to give those nigger scholars the Russian Shakespeare?
Eli Harris
>Seven Killings
>not about race
It may not be the main focus, but race is a large component in the book just because of the time in Jamaica it deals with.
Robert Morris
>Are you really willing to give those nigger scholars the Russian Shakespeare?

>Ossip Abramovich Gannibal's father, Pushkin's great-grandfather, was Abram Petrovich Gannibal (1696–1781), an African page kidnapped to Constantinople as a gift to the Ottoman Sultan and later transferred to Russia as a gift for Peter the Great." I mean it was distant but it's there so there's that

I'm going to draw a line in the sand here and say that quadroons count and octoroons don't.
Parker Miller

Andrew Rivera
The tedious cunt makes everything about himself so there's one.

This. Brazillian pride woo woo woo.
Also pretty sure Tutuola doesn't explicitly say any character was black.
