Why have brown people never written a masterpiece? They comprise over half of the world's population... but their sparse literary works are 3rd rate and claimed by virtue of distant blood relation like Pushkin- never in authentic brown tradition. Therefore I ask you brownoids of /lit/: post brown masterpieces that compare with Joyce and The Bard that were written by full brownoids and I will actually read them as a white man if they sound interesting.
>>24938842Brown hands typed this
man we invented writing, mathematics, art and philosophy while yall stank ass wet dog thin lipped mayo monkies was still livin in caves and shit dont even front cracker
>>24938843I'm aryan>>24938847ok but wheres the literature though
>>24938850you crackers stole it and signed your bitch ass names to it.

>>24938842The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, by King David Kalakaua. But you will never read it, because you're a small minded bigot who just wants to bitch about people.
>>24939054>King David Kalakauahe a zesty ass nigga
Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, is generally accounted a masterpiece
>>24939062By negros? Or by scholars versed in literature? I've never heard of this book- is it famous in black circles? I seriously doubt it's a masterpiece otherwise there would be countless allusions to it in pop culture since it's quality would make it a ubiquitous household name. That didn't happen- did it?
>>24939064>I've never heard of this bookare you a bot
>>24939069No my favorite author is Leo Strauss now can you answer my questions
>>24938842Define brown because Persian literature mogs Western Europe easy. Greece, Egyptian, Persian, and China were the predominant civilized groups and honestly Western Europeans kind of sucked ass until 15th century Italy.>Oh but the Spanish were also great at the artsBecause of Arabs lmao.
>>24939072>were the predominant civilized groupsyawn dont start we wuzzing on me my little dalit slave, all i asked for was brown masterpieces but you replied with meme book famous only for being super long not for its quality
>>24938842No one who makes such a tribalistic and small-spirited post is fit for assessing the quality of literature>muh Joyce and ShakespeareYeah you just parrot what you've heard
>>24939080I consider Hamlet, In Search of Lost Time, and the Iliad as masterpieces. I can rattle off maybe a dozen more, but not a single brown masterpiece. Please fetch me one, slave.
>>24938842Every region, race, culture outside the west except maybe oceania and ssa have their own literary canon with poetry, philosophy, prose, etc. Much of it will be unknown to westerners because these works arent considered part of the 'western canon' and wont be appreciated in the same way they are by people of those cultures.
If preIslamic poetry counts, there's a lot of it that got translated into English or at least German.- Lyall, translation of Mufaddaliyat- SM Husayn, "Early Arabic Odes"- Diwan 'Abid- Diwan Amr bin QamiahI didn't mention the Mu'allaqat b/c that's obvious and most of them are shit, but Amr bin Kulthum is kino (one out of seven).Also: the Hudhali poetry. Joseph Hell translated a bunch of this stuff... into German. But that can be Google-translated.Given all that, I still haven't found the Asmaiyat in English except in chunks. Husayn whom I mentioned above claims it's inferior to the stuff he'd done though.
>>24938842Things Fall Apart is really good. Everybody should read that.
>>24939089Wrong. Literature is universal. Please spare me that cultural crap. The greatest Indian novel ever written was by a swiss man named Hans. >>24939090>preislamic poetryThat sounds awful bro, not gonna lie. It's already a disgusting language made up by barbarians conquered by alexander... did they really try to write poetry? rofl post a link
>the best works are those which I can readily access, the others who I don't know must be terriblepeak retarded westerner
>>24939110There is plenty of brown sloppa I just dont want to set foot into the gangree river after you have all turned it into a sewer. I'm sure there is a diamond ring here and there which is why you all fish around it. That's what I'm looking for, just the masterpieces.It's a shame no brownie ITT has been able to provide one. I'm already well versed in the western canon so I'm expanding my horizons. Your insecurity is really quite off putting.
>>24939085>I consider Hamlet, In Search of Lost Time, and the Iliad as masterpieces.Of course you do>I can rattle off maybe a dozen more, but not a single brown masterpiece. Please fetch me one, slave.You don't deserve them and wouldn't get them anyway
>>24939119Thanks for your brown contribution to the thread. You posted no literature, and just wanted to shit your pants about how insecure you are. There's a toilet down the hall but I know you don't how to work those so you will just have to grin and bear it.
>>24938842This is a cruel troll thread. Everybody knows brown people are simply not as intelligent and haven't produced anything of a quality that can stand up against anything in the Western canon. This is just taunting them about it.
>>24939078>Uses Hindu terminology despite never mentioning IndiaAlright you are definitely brown. Also Shahnameh defined the Persian language centuries before Dante did with Italian.
>>24939228>Shahnameh defined the Persian language centuries before Dante did with Italian.Mmm and what great masterpieces would result?
>>24939231Rumi, Hafez, and literally any poet that dominated the Middle East and Central Asia to this day.
>>24939099>Claiming AlexanderGreeks and Macedonians both consider the entirety of Western Europe to be subhuman and literally unify with Turks on hating you.
>>24939235ok abdul
>>24939233>Rumi>HafezAh yes, literally who.
>>24939233Nigge the only poet that dominates the middle east is muhammad
>>24938842>Why have brown people never written a masterpiece?>What about this spanish speaking author here...>No, not brown like that, I mean BROWN.meh
>>24939245Have a good rest of your day Rahul.

>>24938850>OK but where's the literature thoughAnon you just read it.
>>24938850>I'm aryanEveryone, without exception, who has said this is after the year 1960 is either Irish or Italian, neither of which are "Aryan".I would put $500 on you being a 5'1" Irishman though.
The very same board that makes threads like this is the very same board that secretly cries about how trashy their own culture is.And is also the very same board that is frequented by trashy liberals.And said people proceed to preach the 101 about muh culture to foreigners even though nobody is asking about that.Then said liberals proceed to cry because how dare your foreign non-west country act racist and sexist and all that trashes.Let me give you 50 kowtows and 69 prayings you endearing white trashes. No matter how the world has it, you still have to act like some sort of nuisance out there. Although to be fair, I am somewhat sympathetic - my culture is one that loves preaching about poor African children and how ur supposed to be grateful anyway. To liv3 in those sorts of trashy cultures is to find myself wanting to cheer for the nogs dying myself.But hey, at least my culture doesn't force people to say shits about diversity and openess and blah blah... My culture has no need to bitch and moan about foreigners xyz. All the meanwhile your people love to bitch about countries like Japan never accept outsiders. Maybe raise your voices high enough in real life instead of bitching here so your fellow white trashes can stop bitching about other countries not accepting outsiders and all that trashes. My dear christ christ trash trash whatever religion.
>>24939429>all that trashes.
>>24939446They can't help but out themselves
>>24938842>White man in search of brown titftfy
Michael Jackson is one of the greatest songwriters of the last century. Imagine how beautiful his masses, passions or oratorios would have been if he'd been born in the 1700s
>>24939525He was a performer, but how many song did he actually write?
>>24938842Borges, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Bolaño? Or do you consider them all white?
>>24939464Your statement implies that poster was trying to hide his non western identity. He wasn't. You just sound like a dork now with your gotcha
>>249396394chan's toughest question. Who is considered white?
>>24939590You'd be surprised
>>24939673If I like them then they're white. If I dislike them then they are escapees from brimstone NiggerHell.
>>24939673The white supremacists have two basic types. Those who know and those who don't know.The knowing know there are no boundaries to it. They could genocide all the dark skinned, the tanned skinned, the slightly off skinned, till there are only pastie whites left. But the brutes would still need war and slaughter, so they'd go after the brown eyed, the black haired, and on and on it would go.
>>24938842I was not aware they had evolved to be able to write at all yet
>>24939590he's famous for being a songwriter alongside collaborators like quincy jones. are you 13?
>>24939673If you're Aryan you're white
>>24938842Hi I’m Iranian and we have about 200 high quality poets and Persian has always been a poetic language. But it’s not so easily accessible to westerners. The most famous one is Shahnameh which is really long you can go for it. But I recommend learning the language first.
>>24940679There's no such thing
>>24940693>I recommend learning the language firstNot the retarded OP, but you do you really expect someone to learn your language just to read an epic they've never heard of before? I'm sure it's great, but sometimes I wonder if this board is just full of unemployed people who actually can afford to spend a ridiculous amount of time learning languages frivolously like that. Hell, most don't even bother learning earlier forms of their own language to an advanced level in order to understand classical works, even if it's easy like The Canterbury Tales.
>>24939064I am quite sure that more white people read it than black people
