I know you don't want actual answers and just want an edgy /pol/ thread, but I like autobiographies of freed slaves, such as those by Olaudah Equiano and Frederick Douglass.

Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
Counternarratives by John Keene, very Borges-like.
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston, hilarious idioms from post civil war backwater towns. It's a bit sentimental, but still enjoyable.
Beloved by Toni Morrison, dont let the sappy title fool you, it's raw a fuck.
Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delaney. Weird SciFi "genreshit" but very dense.
Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is good.
Deals with the nonsensical nature of American racial definitions, guy thinks he's black passing as white but he's really white passing as black
Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy
I'd stick to earlier AA fiction and intellectuals (particularly those who were around during reconstruction). Modern black literature is essentially the same book over and over.
