I know this is bait but here, have a serious answer:
Art imitates life. How often do you see anyone other than black guys going for black chicks?

The real reason is that delicious chocolate is only tasty in 2d

It's not the industry but the fact that you likely live in a white supremacist society. For instance if you are in the USA two facts are enough to explain this, first is that the majority of people are white which includes most of the people in power. The second fact is the history of slavery and how its legacy conditions subjectivity, the opposition between white as desirable and black as undesirable.

A question for you OP, would you feel better about the world you live in if there were more POC represented in your media?

If yes, that has next to no effect on actual race relations, if no, then what does it matter? You baka bait-kun.

What would have happened if Hitler didnt kill any jews or try to take over any countries? Just tried to kick the jews out, and then maybe slowly try to expand and 'peacefully' 'buy' land to expand the Aryan Empire?

Just now but I admit it makes a lot of sense.

Vishnu did nothing wrong.

Then he would not be considered very evil
But then again, the things you are mentioning were sort of at the core of his ideas and actions.

Lol the same guy from the last thread about using money as bookmarks.

It's a good read though. I had to do it for one of my classes.

why not take .05 seconds to take a less blurry photo

>>8954368
What's it about?

>>8954360
Both are wrong
Even though anything in the world might have a material basis, this does not mean these things are JUST matter. That's because the ultimate point of reference of the universe (at least when talking about what matters) is the individual. Not the 'dead' matter. Everything the individual experiences is real, and value is assigned to the world by the individual.

So how is Mickey wrong?

The cover is godly

They need to cycle it out of the American education system, really. While it is a nice book, it is not something that should've been added to the english "mandatory reads" system for this many years.

It's not a historial cornerstone or a foundation of literature as many nostalgic baby boomers like to praise it as.

Not getting anti-intellectual or anything, its just a nice book to pick up at the library, but that's about it.

Really? I think CITR is a great book for school curriculums, and I'm someone who just got out of one

It's just a good book to read in high school, easy to teach and has themes that adolescents will be able to relate to and project their own meaning onto.

What would be a better choice?

>>8954352
Hmm...Since you brought up anime I will bring up one I just finished that had a good "dark" protag. Although he was not an edgelord.

91 days.

In literature I can't think of many, but in Satanic Verses early Saladin is somewhat edgy. As is some of the cast of Hyperion.

>>8954367
I've never heard of 91 days.

Do you mean the first book or the entire series?

>>8954427
It just aired this year.

I mean the first two, specifically the Consul is a little dark but not necessarily edgy.

The poet is kinda crazy and dark too.

>be me
>shoot heroin and do lots of drugs
>it's amazing, think i've found something that i actually enjoy
>think about how awesome it would be to do this all the time
>continue doing tons of drugs
>all of a sudden, not so much fun anymore
>think about how awesome it would be to not be a drug addict
>get clean
>not being a drug addict blows dick too

help /lit/. doing drugs apparently wasn't helpful even tho i thought it was at first. being clean definitely isn't helpful even tho i thought it would be while using. wtf

Memoir, and they would too overwhelmed to think anything at first, and only after years of mental digestion would they appreciate my genius and intellect.

Every one of them. I wish I got into reading when I was 17, not in my 20s.

I think so. Kafka is great and doesn't

>>8954218
>I think so. Kafka is great and doesn't
>referring to Kafka in the present tense

Pleb detected. Also, he made various references to Greek mythology and the Bible, kiddo.

>>8954162

How does asking for literature on studying logic not pertain?

>>8954155

>>8954169
>He hasn't read on certainty

Hahhaahaahhaahahah

>>8954172
>He hasn't read the Investigations

I like Kafka, and I liked Amerika.
One of his best finished works, although both the Trial and Metamorphoses were better overall in my opinion.

Was more of a fun read than anything, though it does have merit
