What about black writers like Willard Motley and Frank Yerby,
or cartoonist George Herriman (creator of Krazy Kat), or SF
writers Steven Barnes, Samuel R. Delany and James Nelson?
With the possible exception of Delany, the academics don't
even count these guys as black writers, because their
perspective isn't "African-American."
Does saying this make me a racist? Hell, I thought I was a
liberal. Live and learn, I guess.
