I'm confused by these answers. They are obviously intended to express your dislike of postcolonial literature written by people with brown skin color and are attempting to trigger the "evil SJWs," but in reality you are just drawing attention to the fact that Africa is just a lump of land that people of different skin colors lived in at various points of time and that certain historical authors of color don't get brought up being as such because it usually did not come up in their writing, and any SJW would be more than happy than to give credit to Augustine, Pushkin, and Dumas as writers of color.

African writers and nigger/black writers are different categories, though. So, I'm not sure what you're asking. Using terms like "PoC" or "people with brown skin" are a disservice to unambiguity and are problematic.

The fact that you think recommending Tertullian or Augustine has anything whatsoever to do with "postcolonial" or "sjws" or anything like that.

Tertullian was from North Africa and a great theologian (nuts, but that's part of the charm), and since I mainly just read early church fathers and poetry, if someone asked what African authors I like Tertullian or Augustine would definitely be my answer.

I don't understand why you think it has any political connotations at all. Not everyone is looking to surreptitiously "stick it to le evil sjws" and it annoyed me that my genuine response was treated like a /pol/ shitpost by someone who probably hasn't even read a page of Tertullian.

I'm a straightlaced conservative who's anti-piercing as one can be, but I've always had a soft spot for nose studs because of that girl. It looked cute on her. Nose rings like OP's picture are still a no-go, though.
