CDZ Students Demand Removal of White Authors; Why is this not Condemned as Racist?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You think a science fiction author is among the 20 beast ever?

Oh yes, I would put a couple scifi authors on the list.

Furthermore, your question is idiotic anyway. Not too many great writers aming the slaves. So you should restrict your question to, say, the last century. Because, as we both know, you have never read any african literature. So think your posts through a little more. Thanks in advance.

The Wokesters are so blatantly racist today, and it boggles my mind why they get away with it.

Can someone explain why this is not damned as racism?

Because the idiots have a purely racist view of what racism is.

Reminder: this is the CDZ...no put downs or flaming please. Discuss the topic and not each other.

As long as the basics of the university curriculum remain intact... the degree will be as useful as it has been traditionally.

That's rather beside the point.

Back to the topic. Yes, it is racist to exclude an author's work on the basis of race.

If they are studying the literature of western civilization there should be no minority authors represented at all.

Umh...yes. There would be unless you do not consider the US and Canada to be a part of the development of western civilization.

When I was a kid, liberalism was all about creating a color blind society.

Today's fascist left has turned that notion completely around as they demand that race be the determining factor governing every single facet of our lives.

Identity politics reflects upon a very primitive mind set since it is all about tribe, and this despite the way it's ultra-conformist pracitioners try to posit themselves as being somehow superior for their mindless support of it.

A little identity can be a good thing...

Just one thing: you have never read african literature. Are you saying you have? No. So, you have nothing to complain about.

No. I don't.

You are confusing the study of global history with the study of the development of western civilization.

There is only one written language native to Sub-Saharan Africa and I don't read Ge'ez.

I'm not aware of any novels translated from Ge'ez.

I have heard that the apostrophe in African literature is because the click doan be silent. You tell us if that's true.

Of which diversity has played a large part. Much to the chagrin of racist pukes like you.

Which minority writers were influential in the Greco Roman period? The middle ages? How about the Age of Enlightenment? Which minority writer has has the most influence on the development of western civilization. Not present day diversity nonsense because western civilization is pretty much developed. Which one?

Actually, Arabic science was profoundly influential to European science and architecture. Much of the science of the Greeks and Latins, lost to Europe when classical civilization faltered, made its way back to Europe through The Arabs.

Along its way, Arabs added a lot of their own arts and sciences.

When I was a kid, liberalism was all about going to the moon.

Today, "liberalism" is all about howling at the moon.

Identity politics is a form of Tribalism. Those who demonize Nationalism (which in Western Culture led to the rule of law) are actual promoting sheer power without morals. The Rule of Law is antithetical to Tribalism because the "other" is evil and must be destroyed at all costs.

And to those who are tempted to violated Godwin's law and bring up Hitler as a denunciation of Nationalism - what Hitler promoted was Ethnic Tribalism wrapped in a sheepskin of Nationalism.

City of God by Augustine of Hippo is considered to be classical African literature. Hippo is an African city.
