A funny thing happens when you spend the better part of a year reading and watching stories by people other than white, Western men â you start to notice who is in charge.
Last April, my frustration with the homogeneity of easily accessible art made me swear off reading or watching anything by white men until 2016. Instead, I chose to spend the year immersing myself in stories by anyone but white, Western directors and authors (you can read the rules I had to follow here and see the list of books I read here).

“...Seattle raised...”
That explains everything. Even here in Oakland we roll our eyes at the mere mention of Seattle.
I bet Dr. Thomas Sowell was not on her list.
Garbage in, garbage out.
I live near Seattle. It is the concentration of evil on the West Coast. It’s worse than SF, in that they are creating a new morality here and compelling you to conform to it. In SF, its amoral, which still leaves you with the freedom to choose who you want to be.
In Seattle, you either conform or be cast out. Of all the places I’ve ever lived, it is the most beautiful, but populated by the worst people, period. There’s no respite from the idiots anywhere.
well, she may be wacky but her ‘rules’ for choosing a book are even wackier. Her book reading list looks like the books one sees on remainder at any book store - no one buys them as the are either unreadable, boring, poorly done copy of a better work by a better author, or just so far out that one needs a really good supply of Indian opium laced hashish to have the book make sense.
“...have all received critical acclaimed.”
Maybe she needs a white man to edit her article.
Deluded fools don’t even see where this kind of thinking is leading them.
The correct answer is: "Nothing worth knowing."
Post of the day!
Here's what the little bubble headed idiot looks like.
Yeah, we really ought to listen to this little wisp of a nobody.
Well, there goes her tampons.
I’d like the authoress’ address so I can send her “My Grandfather’s Son” by Justice Thomas, “Up from Slavery” by Booker T. Washington, some Dorothy Sayers and Jane Austen, Phyllis Schlafley’s “A Choice not an Echo”, and Humberto Belli’s “Breaking Faith” and “Nicaragua: Christians Under Fire”.
She’s never heard of JK Rowling, apparently. They are building theme parks based on her writing now.
I suffered through The Color Purple and The Handmaiden’s Tale in college. The Color Purple was OK, but the other was horrible, and held up as a triumph of female fiction authorship to this day. They tried to make a movie of both. The latter flopped.
The former had some good acting moments in it, but was something you had to endure rather than enjoy.
Some books are worth enduring. I remember when Grisham and Turow wrote real page turners. I miss Michael Chrichton.
The Northern European authors weren’t as good as advertised.
Blowing smoke. I doubt this person read many books by white men anyway. Fifty Shades of Gray is probably more her style.
I am right in the middle of a Vince Flynn novel and I read this!
ROTFLMAO!
She has crazy eyes. One day she will cut a man’s schlong off in the middle of the night. Stay far away, bros.
I just like to read intelligent literature. Lange’s strategy results statistically in reading literature that is less intelligent and by excluding one group in particular, definitionally, less diverse. Ms. Lange should not give in so much to her insecurities and guilt. You can both diversify your reading choices and celebrate the talent and genius of both minorities and whites, male and female. I feel true pity for someone who has to go through life enfeebled by these racial and gender-based insecurities. It is also a shame that whites and white males in particular have to suffer Leftist attacks based on their insecurities.
Heh... that would actually be pretty easy.
There are tribes in Africa where, if she went to live with them,
she’d not be subjected to ANYTHING having to do with YT.
I think it’s a great idea for her.
