In examining this interview and the subsequent comments; the accents of the participants led me on a search to discover the country where this dialogue is taking place. The Sunday Times is a United Kingdom Newspaper. In the UK, there may be a shortage of Black Writers: it is not the case here in America.

Yes of course, ask a white man about black problems...as usual they know better. white supremacy

There are many, many black writers. Blacks are buying books and reading more than any other segmen right now. It's a travesty that lies begin and are then propagated by people who don't do their research.

It's propaganda.

I'm a black female writer finishing her first novel and the reason why I feel there are not more black writers is because a writer is not a profession that is highly respected in the black community. Also, the number of people who read in this country is steadily decreasing. I have seen reports/numbers that black men barely read novels at all. So if a black woman is writing about the black experience, in general black women (who read alot) are the only reader base that a black writer has.

I find it a bit odd that there are two white people interviewing themselves to ponder why there are "no black women writers." Of course black women still have a need to express our stories...

As an influential, successful Black author, I strongly disagree with the subject matter characteristic of this video. There are many Black authors who are publishing good literature, and thousands upon thousands are purchasing Black books abroad. -- D. Allen Miller, the author of "Scarlet Tears" and "Staggering Heights"
