REVIEW: 'Sky Full of Elephants' world with no White people is designed to be uncomfortable
The Advocate ^ | September 8, 2024 | Serena Puang

Posted on 01/06/2025 9:33:54 AM PST by Angelino97

"They killed themselves. All of them. All at once,” the first words of Cebo Campbell’s debut novel, “Sky Full of Elephants,” are a haunting refrain reminiscent of a fable.

The book explores the aftermath of a genocidal event in which every White person in America wakes up, walks into the nearest body of water and drowns...

The novel follows Charlie, a wrongfully incarcerated Black man who is reunited with his 19-year-old daughter Sidney. Sidney had been raised by her White mother’s side of the family believing that she was White too. She holed up in her mansion alone for a year after losing her family, but after a note from her blonde, green-eyed aunt claiming that White people are “not all gone,” she tracks down Charlie to take her to Orange Beach, Alabama, where all the people who think of themselves as White have congregated...

As with many magical realism novels, the premise can get muddled. How “non-White” do you have to be to survive the event? What about White Latinos? Where did all the Black cops go? In this version of the world, people who think of themselves as White still exist, so should Black conservative pundits and racist Asians. How did this new world order avoid recreating all the problems of the old one?

But those willing to suspend their disbelief will see a version of utopia that doesn’t include White people, and this is radical. So often, America’s conceptualization of diversity is based in Whiteness. White people have historically held the power and the wealth in this country, and the vision for equality looks like adding other people into this picture...

Campbell dares to ask the question: What would a new, better society look like if it didn’t have any White people at all?

I see this as allegory for bug chasing queers.

The book is nothing more than a hateful promotion of bigotry and racism, enabling victim-hood and subtly justifying future atrocities against a people (white) based solely on the color of their skin.

Disgusting

Good lord… the stupid… it burns…

Tl;dr - wypipo committed suicide, blackpipo made a communist utopia where their only problems are their fee fees.

“ The kingdom of Alabama provides the food for their farmers markets and keeps Starbucks open.

“We give it to them for free and they sell it back to each other,” said Nona, the princess of Alabama.”

I can’t even…

A Leftist, Racist, Wet Dream.

Not uncomfortable for them, because they all think they will be part of the group that doesn’t walk into the water.

“Campbell dares to ask the question: What would a new, better society look like if it didn’t have any White people at all?”

So daring. Yawn. Some porn for the grifters. Interesting question: per the story +/- 150 million people drowned themselves in the nearest body of water. I think problem no 1 would be cleaning up one hell of a mess with massive disease outbreak looming, and problem no 2 would be dealing with collapsed food production and distribution systems. Together these would likely take out a solid 75% of the survivors . But we can dream, can’t we?

Hate I have to say it but... Can you IMAGINE if I wrote a “magical” novel where all the black people killed themselves? With empty prisons, and a drop in crime? I would NEVER... because that would be horribly racist and evil, even to imagine, wouldn’t it, and EVERYONE WOULD CONDEMN ME FOR DOING IT. And rightfully so.

Does this mean all those African countries that are almost ALL black are successful and prosperous?

And yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard about ‘colonial powers that once took over ... Then often left and most often left the countries better off. Then again Israel because a country around 1948. And they built that country up from wasteland desert... to first world So why isn’t Africa a first world continent?

Starving people of color dropping dead all over the planet while singing and dancing and playing basketball and football.

It might not be paradise, but according to the FBI Crime Research Database (before they began to falsify it by not entering data into it) the worst kinds of violent crime in this country, Murder, Aggravated Assault, Rape, Armed Robbery and such would decrease by 40%.

Not paradise, but pretty good.

More anti-white hate—so typical these days.

They don’t even try to hide it any more.
