Yeah. The only scene with evil white characters is the surreal boxing one. Other than that, all the villains are black, including one who manipulates white people and another who is a black supremacist. Well, there is a white villain, but he's not racist, he's a communist leader who is evil for other reasons.

There is also a woman who has fantasies about the narrator raping her like a lusty savage, but she's not really a villain, just someone who makes the narrator feel bummed out.

It's a very good book. Race is a significant issue in it, but it's very nuanced and not the oppressed vs. oppressors of tumblr

No, this actually. In addition, Invisible Man is considered Western canon (well, in the chaotic age).

My English Lit class read this book in school. I didn't read it, but one scene stuck with me during the class discussions. chapter 11 when he wakes up with no memory I ripped that off for a character I was brainstorming 3 years later.
