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).

Look in the mirror for the real racist and sexist Ms. Lange.

The hard truth is my challenge has shown me something I'm not proud of: I still primarily read books by other white people. RACIST!!!!!! Send her to PC Re-Education Camp until she sees Fat Albert as the cultural equivalent of Shakespeare!

Easy to do with reading. Let her stop using anything invented by white men and then get back to us.
To: C19fan
She can't look in the mirror, she's too busy navel-gazing.
I clicked on the link, more out of a morbid sense of curiosity, than anything else. Wish that I hadn't. Her taste in literature is seriously flawed.

I think all the books I have read have been by white people . Give me Austen, the Bronte sisters, Gaskill, Hardy, Eliot, Tolstoy, etc. any day. I was forced to read a Toni Morrison book in college and it the worst piece of fiction I ever read. Throw me into the Re-Education Camp. I would take it as a badge of honor.

Anit-white movement is bigger than anyone will admit.
I posted what happens when you google 'happy American couple,' boolean my a88.
Now google 'white women.' The first websites that come up are the pros and cons of dating black men.
Another boolean thingy, sure.

Hey Jeva — if only you could be barred from using anything ever invented by white males.

She believes the whining of people who can’t get over it.

Obviously the only way to achieve diversity in this country is to stamp out white men. I think a racial and gender genocide is in order.

I guess I could spend a year reading authors that don’t happen to be white and be content.
Denish DeSouza, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Shelby Steel, J. D. Watts, and I guess there are some women I like as well.
