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?

Didn’t Haiti do this a while back? Only it was, shall we say, assisted suicide of whites.

Dream on, Cebo Campbell.

I have had some powerful emotional events in my life.

Suicide will NEVER be one of them.

I am going to hang around to the bitter end, with the single minded purpose of making YOU feel uncomfortable!

What would a new, better society look like if it didn’t have any White people at all?

A combination of Chicago on Saturday night, Detroit, Somalia and South Africa.

Well I was gonna post Rwanda, but hey...if the African Genius who asked the question wanted to get the answer in full living color, allz he gotta do is get on one of dose Ebil White Inventions called “airplanes” and head home.

Maybe for authenticity he could try paddling there in a dugout, but that would maybe entail a little too much reality...

“What would a new, better society look like if it didn’t have any White people at all?”


LOL. Even if this happened, the Hispanics and Asians would rush in to fill the void. In fact, Hispanics would immediatly constitute the new majority and have zero “white guilt”. I’m not sure this would result in any kind of “Utopia” for African Americans.

So....be careful what you wish for.

If whites (and this includes people of Middle Eastern origin and Jews, mainly of Middle Eastern ancestry with some Southern European ancestry) were to disappear, America would be ruled by East Asians and Asian Indians, in conjunction with Hispanics, who would provide the muscle and control the underworld. The black elite would be dethroned, as they largely depended on white patronage. It would be the Jim Crow South revisited, though perhaps without the lynchings.

Really. It would be China vs South America over the spoils of North America.

Blacks would be immediately murdered or re-enslaved.

Exactly. The world has dozens of nations where any of these clowns can life without white people to torment them. Haiti, Somalia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone. They would love to have these poor oppressed American blacks immigrate.

But they never do....

If all the whites were taken out of the U.S., the largest demand for immigration would come from swimming pool owners needing a target market that knows how to swim.

It sure as hell wouldn't be better.

Not having anyone to blame for their miseries, they would eventually turn on themselves
