Why has there never been a single worthwhile black author?

People will think this is bait, but it's actually true. Moreover, if you take more than two seconds to think about it, you'll be struck by how obviously true it is. Joyce wrote some bad poems, a bad play, a book of pretty good stories, a pretty good Bildungsroman, one masterful literary performance in Ulysses, and then tried to surpass himself and produced some unreadable gibberish that even Nabokov threw against the wall. Delaney, on the other hand, has an entire bibliography of incredible books. Fiction, nonfiction, this, that, he covers everything, and on top of that he has a masterpiece that surpasses Joyce's in Ulysses. Joyce could've been one of the greats if he'd written more, but unfortunately he wrote like a sentence a day (not kidding) and his meager bibliography just does not cut it. One great boom does not a great author make.
