Machado was actually not that black. He was a mulatto, and if I am not mistaken he was actually the son of a mulatto and a white woman. Well, no matter: the thing is that he had black genetics on him and was a great writer.

But here is the thing about him: he was ashamed of being at least part black and would not admit it – he got angry when people stated that about him. Nothing apparently special about this, but since he was not proud of black ancestry and did not recognize himself as black he did not wrote under the same thematic-shadow that strangles the work of every black writer: the need to talk about racism and segregation. Machado wrote about human beings without any pro-freedom and pro-equality panphletage, and so his work achieved something more than just the exposition of a life of struggle and injustice. To me the fact that he did not think of himself as a black person or as a victim was a great thing – something that made him better as an artist.

That’s a problem that many black writers face: it seems that society and the critics expect of them the writing of racial-subject books. They should be able to write about the world as normal human beings (by normal I mean as everyone on Earth, as only humans, as simple persons), not as a specific race or group.

This reminded me of something Borges said about Argentinians, but can be extended by analogy towards black writers.
Some days past I have found a curious confirmation of the fact that what is truly native can and often does dispense with local color; I found this confirmation in Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Gibbon observes that in the Arabian book par excellence, in the Koran, there are no camels; I believe if there were any doubt as to the authenticity of the Koran, this absence of camels would be sufficient to prove it is an Arabian work. It was written by Mohammed, and Mohammed, as an Arab, had no reason to know that camels were especially Arabian; for him they were part of reality, he had no reason to emphasize them; on the other hand, the first thing a falsifier, a tourist, an Arab nationalist would do is have a surfeit of camels, caravans of camels, on every page; but Mohammed, as an Arab, was unconcerned: he knew he could be an Arab without camels. I think we Argentines can emulate Mohammed, can believe in the possibility of being Argentine without abounding in local color.

[Anonymous No.5240028]

A writer's quality is not in any way dependent on his colour, nationality, religion or any other kind of personal characteristic he may have. His background and beliefs, however, undoubtedly influence his writings, and as such it's to be expected that black writers will be influenced by their history of slavery and opression. There is a point, however, in which the background influences cease to be a mere fact of interest and start to become harmful to the quality of the writing, and this, I think, is what perhaps happens to those black writers to whom their racial identity is the sole subject of importance. And this is not only so with black writers: in Brazil - apparently, there are quite a few Brazilians on /lit/ - we have a lot of nationalistic writers to whom, it seems, Brazil is the most important country on the planet, and they are just plain annoying to read; we also have politically motivated writers who try to write in order to produce social change and, thus, make their writing as dull as that of any political pamphlet; and then we have fanatically religious writers, to whom writing is nothing more than proselitism - and now I'm reminded of the worst playwright I have ever read, Mr. Jose de Anchieta, who wrote no to make art, but in order to turn native Brazilians to the Christian credo, in the 16th century.

A writer's subject should be that what GENUINELY interests him - sex, philosophy, fighting, war, assassination, classical Greece, food, cemeteries, libraries, robbery, flowers, love, whatever - and not that what critics expect him to write about or that which he feels he should write about. To the extent in which he lets external pressures guide his work, the quality of the writer tends to diminish.

I just looked through this thread and it convinced me to never set foot in USA where people are obliged to utter obvious bullshit to pander to, again, obviously crippled black community.

If majority of authors mentioned in this thread were white they would never be read or recognized. They are, particulary because black person wrote a book that is above average standard in black community, but usually just average among world's literature. This preferential treatment is especially ridiculous because it resembles affirmative treatment of mentally handicapped people. Of course it's in nature absolutely demeaning to blacks, to treat them like mild retards, but people do it anyway, unconciously.

That's why when I stumble upon an intelligent black guy like youtube literature reviewer called Black Ponderer, he's almost always detached from the theme of struggle of American blacks. To let this victim mentality affect perception is the greatest tragedy of black authors or community as a whole. And, what a surprise, when reviewing books of value, the intelligent black guy I mentioned finds himself with one book written by African author among multitude of books written by whites. And I applaud him for no bias approach because recognition of reality is a first step to recovery. In this case, sadly only as an individual and not a group.

But that's not what it's for. The most consistent underlying question of Eastern Philosophy is not "how do I deduce something new," it's "how do I incorporate new experience in light of what I already know or have experienced."

I'm not denying the value of logic at all, or the Greek contribution to philosophy. If anything, though, while mathematics in its entirety and most of the individual major developments in physics and chemistry owe their discovery to ancient Western thought, validation and incorporation of scientific knowledge on a wider level more greatly resemble Eastern thought.

You guys are silly.

First saying that because it wasn't written down for a long time means that there is less cultural development implies some teleology in culture which is not the case. An oral epic can be and is often of a higher quality than a written epic. Oral epics have the benefit of having variations for example. Oral cultures tend to be more repetitive but they focus on universals and the average person has more control over language. Of course written epics have their own benefits, like a more leisured class being able to study them.

Secondly this epic is very good. You guys are just not used to reading into a work that is made by Africans. Probably you go in assuming something horrible or something more Western. If you look at the text, you see a tension between the community and the individual. The Mande concept of fadenyo and badenyo is a useful one to look at the text.

On a side note, these two ideas really helped me understand the politics of the Biblical stories in Kings 1 & 2.
Other African cultural contributions were in Islam and Christianity. Africans practically defined orthodoxy in Christianity. Think of Augustine, Tertullian, Clement and Origen. There were the desert fathers. They also started monasticism in Egypt. Even their 'heretics' were influential like Arius. African missionaries went to Germany and converted them before they were Catholic. There were also the Dotanists. Just Augustine should be enough to redeem the whole continent.

Besides Egyptians and Berbers, the Kongolese were very politically developed. When the Portuguese made contact with them they had pretty much the same system of government. Although they have no literature or even noteworthy oral epics that I know of. Outside of literature, Africans invented iron and steel independently and did it better than everyone else until the Industrial Revolution.

Having an empire isn't that impressive. There were many African groups that were strongly anti-monarchical. Also another African group, which I've only heard of in passing, had an idea of two deaths. One when you die and one when everyone who knew you die. I think this is an interesting idea as well but I know little about it.

Stopped reading right here. None of those people were black Africans. Augustine's ancestry is not even certain but he was AT MOST 1/2 Berber, and the woman his father married was most likely an ethnically Carthaginian caucasoid.

You are purposefully conflating black Africa with the Mediterranean and Near East thousands of years ago. The ancient Near Eastern Babylonians and Assyrians represented themselves in statuary and carving with lapis lazuli (i.e., blue) eyes.

Egyptians and Berbers are definitely black by modern standards. Where do you think they came from Europe? The Egyptians came in from Nubia primarily and had other races mix with them throughout history. The Berbers came from the South too. By ancient standards, there is no black, Ethiopians were considered just as distinct as Berbers, Egyptians, and the Mande. If we're talking black, then Egyptians and Berbers should be included. If you want to talk about specific groups, the Kongolese, for example, I would agree no literature. Obviously people in the Mediterranean world have more literature, there were more cultures that met there and have a longer history of civilization. That doesn't mean that living on the Mediterranean makes you any less black. However if we're talking about Sub-Saharans then I would agree with the exception of Mali and some Muslim scholars, they've been mostly without literature.

Also the thing about iron and steel is true. They would pre-heat the ore which is why they were able to make such high quality metal. The rest of the world didn't do that and that's why it took until modern industrial machinery to make better. They deforested a lot of Africa from all the charcoal they would produce to produce metal. You're not giving me any factual counter-arguments.

"Berbers" can be anywhere from 10% to 90% you sub-Saharan you unbelievable retard. They are not racially homogeneous. Contemporary Egyptians do not look like ancient Egyptians. And so on and so forth. Carthaginians populated and ruled North Africa contemporaneously with the rise of Rome and they were Caucasoid, not even Berber and certainly not blacks by any standard. You're purposefully conflating whichever eras of 4000 years of history happen to suit you in making all these ahistorical claims.

>repeats claim about blacks and steel

Black supremacist retardation. Provide a source for this claim or gtfo.

The only correct thing you've ever written was about Egyptians who came from Nubia. Yes, they were Cushitic. However Berbers are in no fucking way sub-saharan African. Genetically they belong to Caucasian groups in Y-DNA and for the love of God, have you ever seen a Berber person? By modern standards it's not black in any way. Their physionomy fits absolutely into white phenotype.

And the thing about steel is factually incorrect. There is one fucking account of finding steel in ancient east africa, but primitive steel tools were already developed in Anatolia before that. Of course steel developed by Arabs and Romans later only continues the tradition of pre-industrial steel making. Stop repeating unsourced, pseudohistorical bullshit. Sub-saharan Africa was so technologically retarded that from surviving evidence we know they didn't use wheel before 19th century.

Learn history, less from afrocentrist blogs, more from primary school handbooks.

Black people are disenfranchised in today's America, and many other parts of the world.

I'd argue, that while it is a social thing, it's moreso related to economics. Poor whites and hispanics are also disenfranchised. The reason black people are seen in poor lights socially, and are disenfranchised is because tey are poor, and have no power in our commercial consumer culture. They have little power over how they are represented other than complaining from the bottom up. Shit's fucked up yo.

I'd say that if black people want to fix their problems, their gonna have to do it economically, and they're gonna have to cooperate with poor of other races.

I haven't set foot on a college campus, fuck it.

If anyone in this thread is banned, 4chan is dead.

Start a thread that basically proves blacks can't into literature at the level of the general populace, so they need their own category.

Then proceed to ban people who do not like them, even after they have shown their inferiority.
