Can anyone ID the books he's reading?

>>9748851
looks like Idris Elba on the cover

>>9748855
Every black man is not idris elba

>>9748858
yea but at least some of them are

if you know how to develop multiple lines of sight, you can do all this and more. when i want to get through multiple volumes of books, i usually hold at least two volumes in my hands, reading two lines at a time with both eyes. a bit of a challenge sometimes but get it right & it makes for quadruple reading value

>>9748884
i would say about half of black men are in fact Idris Elba

Why do African-Americans in particular have this psuedo-intellectual mindset? Regular black people are just levelheaded but there's something about black american culture that makes them want to constantly prove that they're intellectuals

>>9750157
There are plenty of black people smarter than me. I'm just saying that reading two books at once (one of looks like its a Kevin Hart biography lel) while wearing a nifty suit is a definite African-American thing. Same as rappers coming up with lines like: "Not bisexual; I'm an intellectual"

I'm guessing you don't live in America? The dominant black culture here is the anti-intellectual gangster culture.

Many of them who somehow don't fall into this culture try desperately to be intellectual because they subconsciously suspect that their race is mentally inferior (including themselves).

It's the same reason we have the "we wuz kangz".

Judging by the Nas picture he was talking about the We Wuz crowd. Most of the "intelligent rappers from the golden age of hip hop" were/are 5 percenters.

>>9750139
Their entire heritage is a prolonged humiliation. They're the offspring of blacks caught by other superior blacks in Africa and sold to whitey/kikey and then kept as farm animals for centuries.

Being a slave descendant African-American is probably the saddest thing you can be and that leads to an understandable inferiority complex.

ever head of non American Africans? they should be glad to live in the US and if they're not they can always move to fucking Africa if they hate whities so much.

>>9751096
This doesn't even make sense in the context of the comment you're replying to. Moving back to Africa doesn't make them not the descendants of losers and them hating themselves doesn't have much to do with hating white people.

I mean, it's obviously a metaphor.

I doublefist drinks, at least.

But all I gained from that is alcoholic neuropathy, throat cancer and a damaged liver, so.

>>9750139
as an american black, intellectual culture is a white man's game.

now, if you mean winning, a constant desire to win and cheat and beat everything else, despite being totally incompetent mentally, then yes, niggas want to be intellectuals, not for cherishing the light fluffy crust of thought, but because they think it's something to win and that's all, the word "intellectual" usually means "why you talking like YT" otherwise.

This.

>>9750139
I think it's a vicious circle of there not being too many legitimate black intellectuals, so when black people try to venture into new ideas and look to black writers their options are: Nation of Islam numerology bullshit, modern academic sociological ressentiment, the repetitive and narrow ideology of postcolonial studies, Afrocentric history, the navel-gazing of critical race theory, and the shallow analysis of black pop culture that masquerades as representing a deeper truth when all it offers is high school-tier essays on rap songs. There are of course good black intellectuals (mostly historians on Africa and slavery) but they get none of the coverage of their more provocative colleagues.

All this is made worse by white academics who try to encourage "the Black voice" by allowing subpar scholarship to go without valid criticism. The condescension of whites too cowardly to even consider the possibility of a black writer being wrong is one of the biggest obstacles to fostering actually valuable black writing.

>>9756252
There are a ton of black academics but you are just too much of a pseud to know them.

>>9756262
i never implied that there weren't. all i'm saying is the ones who get coverage, the ones who would be recognizable to someone just starting to read "serious" literature, are mostly from the categories i listed. it's just more likely that people will be attracted to provocative but shitty writers like coates rather than drier more valuable writers like henry louis gates

>>9756294
Love him or hate him, le black science man is at least one of the most prominent and reasonable black academic role models

>tfw my old african-american history professor croaked and they named a "cultural institute" in the school after him, so now generations of students will probably think he was some rich white guy who donated a bunch of money, but i'll always have the life experience of being in his class and having to do my presentation by myself because i was to autistic to get a partner and then after doing a pretty good job if i do say so myself he asked me about the role of the church in the post-reconstruction african american community or some shit and as an edgy athiest marxist at the time i didn't even bother to study that aspect and i started getting flustered and he was like "it's ok it's ok you did pretty well"

if you can find it, back in the 90s The Teaching Company, who now make those Great Courses classes, did a series called Superstar Professors or something, and they had one with Willam W. Cook from Dartmouth called US Literary History, it was only released on cassette, but you can find torrents of it, shit is amazing, dude is so underrated, but unfortunately i just saw he actually passed last spring...i couldn't find any talks or lectures by him anywhere other than the aforementioned lecture series, and this is the only video of him i could find anywhere on the internet at all, and if you're racist then you're really going to hate it, but assuming you are earnestly seeking dank african-american scholars you can get a sense of his erudition from it
