I don't think there shouldn't be a section for black authors, but one problem I see is that, as you point out, people have their own preconceived notions about what black authors write about.  Unfortunately, I feel that by labeling them "Black Authors" you are still pigeonholing them.  There could be more variation in the writings of black authors than white ones, but by segregating them in the bookstores, it seems like we're just rearranging the living room, rather than cleaning up the mess that is in there.  I am actually writing a piece right now that deals with that idea though.  Its a difficult situation to figure out.  In the goal of trying to bring us together and forget about skin color, we are trying just as hard to show how much it matters.
