I remember that, yet there was a cacette walking around campus with a sword and no one batted an eyeThe cops shot some mixed kid doing cosplay because he was carrying a sword.
Cosplay
As a proud blerd (black nerd), I loveconventions, and I love dressing up as my favorite characters when I go to them. The c00n life is a blast, except to nonwhite people who dare to dress up outside their race.
That black scifi writer shyt in the literary world is so damned true... go to any major bookstore. All the white connected major writers is in the front shelves. ANY black writer is put in the African-American section doesn't matter what genre really... it's fukking biased and frustrating...
A direct consequence of still clamoring behind cacs for recognition and favors after 400 years..
Please elaborate breh... I've been writing a long time and most major book companies that are connected are white owned... They have connected literary agents and PR firms plus they focus on delivering stories where white heroes are at the forefront. If your just starting out it's gonna be hard to break into that echelon on the writing world where your name is heard people already know... Who's doing it for JUST recognition?
sigworthyreppedAll our problems arise from thinking we can share a stage with our primary nemesis.
Yes, cacs run most things so you need their avenues for distribution etc, but Im hoping you can identify a great business opportunity assisting yourself and other Black writers to get their names and work out there.
I meant that after so long, we cannot still be naive to think cacs are on our side in any capacity or willing to do us any favors or lend us a hand.
At this point in time and given what we already know, we must be having our own platforms. All our problems arise from thinking we can share a stage with our primary nemesis.

Of course... I remember when I first was sending the spec scripts of my stories out there for publication and got nothing back but just rejection letters. I'm lucky amazon had a kdp on demand printing service so I can publish with no one choosing to publish me. We CAN do it on our own, it can be done. that was never the question... the question is to have such enduring reach in the mainstream with only OUR engine pushing it.
Negged cacBOO HOO nikka!!!
I swear if nikkas spent more time in themselves and less time worrying about what's racist we be better off.
