I stumbled upon Teju Cole at my local Barnes and Noble about 4 years ago and I've been hooked since. I know that Veeky Forums has a great disdain for Black authors because they always write about cliche "I'm oppressed" books but this guy is different he's the contemporary author that we need at the moment. We are so divided in all aspects of our lives because of the faults in the ideologies that we cling to in order to self identify or fit in.
His approach to writing about the tolls that modern life puts on the societies all around the world is exceptional. His eloquent and terse way of immersing you in this stories are undoubtedly shakespearean.
Right that's all fine, but are his books ultimately about blacks being kept down by whitey?
James White
white people really are cunts

>white people really are cunts >waaah, why won't white people buy my books?!

Are you actually Teju Cole? I don't see why you would give him such undeserved praise otherwise. I would really like to discard the notion that Africans can't write about anything but oppression by whitey but they really try their best to prove me right.

All Marx wrote about was the oppressed group of his time. How is this any different?
Henry Campbell
Marx is equally repugnant and a hundredfold more brilliant
