The "African-American Literature" section at Borders makes me feel thoroughly embarrassed.

That is the deal with the half-naked, baby momma drama, criminal this, video chickenhead that, ignorant book titles?

What the heck is this so called section? Porn?

HC this crap/smut is called, "African-American Literature?

HC I am not sure to reach for a bucket or burst into tears looking at this mess?

HC you need to read Nick Chiles' screed about this in the New York Times?
HC if I can find it, I'll post it here on GC?
HC Zane can sell 2 million books a year?
HC I dislike about street lit, but do eat up AfAm chick lit with upscale characters (think Girlfriends/SATC types?)
HC I appreciate a literary read, but sometimes just need some escapism?
