When looking at Stephen King's oeuvre you see that some of his most popular works contain Magical Negroes and/or some sort of non-white mysticism.
Now before anyone starts-I AM NOT CALLING KING RACIST-in fact, every book I'm going to mention is one I really enjoy.
That is why this topic is of interest to me.
