We're all human at the end of the day I'm so sick of sjws acting like minorities are from another planet

I disagree with you on that. I think that examining literature from a "we are all the same" perspective is limiting.

This. I don't see why white readers should have any difficulty connecting wirh invisible man. Sure the specific experiences of the protagonist are pretty far removed from the experiences of a white person in the 21st century, but underlying the narrative are universal truths regarding alienation and the nature of identity.

sounds like the board you wanted was >>>/his/

I think reading from a "we are not all the same" perspective is limiting, too

one of the reasons i read books is to understand and empathise with different types of people. that's what great writing can do, it can make a very different person to you feel equally real and interesting and make you care about things that have no bearing on your actual life. you get immersed in their story rather than your own.
i don't have anything in common with russian aristocrats or 19th century whalers either.

im black
couldnt get into this shit either
just imagine reading... notes from the underground or something like that with a bunch of bullshit about the Harlem renaissance baked into it
knowing some "black" things about the era or reading opinions or letters from people like W. E. B. Dubois and Booker T Washington could help too

It's a fucking classic.

Fuck your Catcher in the Rye

your homework for tonight is to re-read.

The typeface on the cover is Helvetica.

We aren't all the same but you can't just separate it by color. I'm poor white trash from Appalachia. I probably have more in common with poor blacks than I do with rich whites.

I don't really look for books that have some connection to my life though.

You used typeface instead of font. I think I love you.

this book is great

You could try pulling your head out of your ass a little bit and think about how other people who's contextual circumstances are different than yours relate to things.

It's nice how white leftists have been using black pepper for feel good points then and now.

This. You're a retard, OP.

You can write whatever you want

You can read whatever you want

you don't owe these sjw cunts anything

Invisible Man isn't even reflective of the kind of thing the /pol/tards on here complain about.

Dude in the book doesn't identify with the black nationalists, with the communists, or with what the white discourse considers him to be. He simply considers himself to be a singularity, as something beyond all categories of social existence that limit identity to a set of concepts.

He is "invisible" in the sense that no one (not whites, not the other blacks he runs across) can consider him to be a point of infinity, a vector that can swallow all signification and surpass it.
