The best African American Urban Fiction: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> Why make up a fictional minority when real ones exist?

Because not many people read comics that specifically tackle those sort of issues, especially not within superhero books? Like, Black is basically exactly what you're talking about, and whilst it was pretty critically acclaimed, it's numbers weren't that good

Public service announcement. This black people get superpowers thing is actually already a comic, it's called... BLACK. Check it out.

Here's one I found while having my first Walmart experience in south Miami: Honor Thy Thug by Wahida Clark

"Urban lit’s favorite ride or die couple, Trae and Tasha, are back as they fight to hold onto their volatile relationship which gets closer to exploding with each passing day. Their friends, Angel and Kaylin, are caught up in their own dra­ma which pits brother against brother in a final showdown. Faheem and his wife Jaz, face their worst nightmare which almost takes them totally out of the game. Meanwhile, Kyron, who brought Trae to the brink of murder and Tasha to the edge of insanity, is back and hell bent on revenge."

I didn't really know what to make of it. That or the fact you could buy guns at Walmart :/

here's what the description says " From the same author that brought you the Flint series comes a new town . . . a new drama. Treasure Hernandez is back with her second street series, chronicling both sides of Baltimore’s black market. Derek Fuller is the head detective of a Baltimore narcotics unit. His team has been assigned to take down the biggest drug operation in the city. There’s only one problem: the head of the operation is his brother, Scar Johnson. Separated in Baltimore’s foster care system, they came from two different walks of life, but both met at the top on opposite sides of the law. With the Assistant District Attorney in their back pocket, this was a marriage made in heaven—until the drama and deceit enters. Delve into this treacherous story of love, deceit, lies, and murder. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and once one brother feels betrayed, the only retribution is death. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition."
