When I read Gravity's Rainbow, I like to imagine Tyrone Slothrop as a black man (which is easy since his first name is Tyrone). It's pretty funny because then it becomes the story of a jacked black dude from America rampaging around Europe sleeping with their white women. A sort of reverse colonization which I think would make Pynchon proud.
Ok.
>>25166785Thanks, OP. I just spit my milk out laughing.
This is typical of a pinecone enjoyer
>>25166785Tyrone is an Irish nameThe Irish are a minority with living oral traditions
Well if Paul Thomas Anderson ever makes a film adaptation of Gravity's Rainbow, we can then all have fun guessing what the casting will be like.
>>25166790ok>>25166792Your welcome>>25166795I'm not into BBC cuck porn or anything. I just find the idea of a jacked black dude from america sleeping with a bunch of european white women all while trying to figure out his little conspiracy funny. Plus the angle of reverse colonization.>>25166800Oh cool. In america it's a common black dude's name. How'd it go from Irish to blacks?>>25166801I could see that.
get help
>>25166909America is one messed up place
>not liking BBC cuckold pornPynched :^)
>>25166810dno but many typical African American names are actual from different cultures, Arabic (Jamal), Latin (Marcus), French, etc.
>>25166922KEK
>>25166835Seconded
Funny thread OP. 8/10
>>25166916You've never even stepped foot on our shores
>>25166909What’s the reading list that makes a man type this?
Is there a lot of black man stuff in Gravity's Rainbow?
>>25167020Start with a Pynchon lite like Lot 49 or Inherent Vice, and if you like that and want more you can try branching out to one of his bigger books like V., Gravity's Rainbow, Against the Day, or M&D.
>>25167021Exclusively male-on-male (imagined/hallucinated)
>>25167021There's a scene where Slothrop is about to get raped by a black man but he's under the influence of some substance, there's a major black character who used to get fucked by the Nazi Weissman. And, not actually featuring any blacks, there's the scene where Slothrop yells at another guy about sucking nigger dicks.
>>25167016Correct, and I don’t want to either kek
>>25167025>>25167034Why is everything sexual?
>>25166909
>>25167261Because Pynchon is a sick man and probably CIA.
>>25167020Anything British.
>>25166785Why are Americans so obsessed with black men fucking white women? Is it because it was something so taboo that it became a kink or something?
>>25167301Probably. It used to be inconceivable that a white woman had sex with a black man.
>>25167301bmwf is so passé, bmaf is the next hot thing
>>25167279American*
>>25167318Brits are more into cuckolding, yanks have a stranglehold on public IR couples in general
>>25167301Because America is the centerpiece of jewish media domination
>>25167324They’re both pretty awful honestly.
>>25166800>Tyrone is an Irish nameBlack Irish
>>25167327well duh
lmao what a thread
>>25166810Irish are niggers though?
This anon >>25168322 is right. When they first came to America, the Irish were considered non-white.
>>25168322>>25169220Very true, lumped in with the Indians, and Africans. Much of the union sought to consolidate their nation by locating them in cheap housing, giving them education and shaping them into industrious citizens. This is because they along with the natives and blacks, they were deemed to be simple, and irrational.
>>25166785If you want that then just read V.
>>25168322>>25169220>>25169244This is complete bullshit. Many of the signators of the Declaration of Independence weere of Irish heritage. People only started comparing the Irish to niggers after the Gorta Mor, when they started sending their low-class trash here en masse.
The Original Poster is of American origin, I believe
>>25169539It was a little before that actually, look into William Ellery Channing’s stuff.
>>25169800OP's name is Quentin Scobie and he is Irish diaspora living in England.
Why is Pynchon so obsessed with black men?
>>25171387you're not?
>>25171792ew
>>25171387>I AM NOT OBSESSED
>>25171387He's like Tarantino in that he's seen a historically impoverished and oppressed people (whose direct cause is the racist policies of Europe and America — specifically White Europeans and Americans) and has decided to give them justice in one of the few ways he can bring it about: through his art. So the black man fucks the white man because in the end they deserve it after centuries of enslavement and oppression (through such things as the jim crow laws to take an obvious example, but also the plundering of Africa occuring through capitalist coporations — white, male run companies — stripping the continent of the very resources they need to bootstrap themselves out of their situation of penury.)
>>25171387americano
>>25171972In short, nothing but fear, hatred, and resentment.
