Name: Dhonielle "Dawn" Clayton
Alias: BrownBookworm
Residence: New York City
Birthplace: Maryland, just outside Washington D.C.
Job: COO of "We Need Diverse Books" non-profit, Author & Sensitivity Reader

Credit to @CatParty for discovery. In an A & H thread about a phenomenon known as Sensitivity Readers, one snowflake's name was easily distinguishable from a couple of people mentioned in the article posted. This was our Dhonielle.

She was noted for 2 things:
Sperging out about To Kill a Mockingbird & Huck Finn
Harassing Joyce Oates

You may notice that she's incredibly obsessed with race to overcompensate for how light her skin is. You also might notice she toots her own horn often and comes across as supremely egotistical and easily offended.

Her and her fellow blue checkmark goons have been dogpiling on Joyce Oates and misconstruing what the woman said because they don't feel alive if they aren't outraged about some miniscule slight.

Her most recent upcoming book is titled "The Belles" and previously she was known for "Shiny Broken Pieces" and "Tiny Pretty Things"

She was also a former teacher, and uses this to dismiss criticism of her stupidity

Thinks kindness is for oppressors and misses irony in her clique complaining about any kind of gaslighting.

who's this cracker

If I were to hazard a guess: Rachel Dolezal's sister who was only marginally more intelligent?

If you're a writer I don't understand why you can't just creat the books you want to see on the shelves instead of forcing and guilt tripping others into making bad books with token characters. And is Huck Finn only racist because it uses slurs or am I missing something? How did you become a teacher when you have such awful reading comprehension skills?

What a cunt.

I remember back before Stephen Colbert climbed too far up his own ass, he did a bit on a new release of Huck Finn which replaced every mention of the word "nigger" with "slave". The guy he was interviewing about it pointed out how wonderful it was that Jim got a social upgrade.

What gets me about the sensitivity group thing she's in is their push for accuracy. When they get it they freak out.

"We want a book about slavery!"

*Book says nigger*

"Take it down! It's racist!"

Yeah, no shit.
It's not hard to pick one.

Unlike cotton.

I think their "logic" about why they hate Huck Finn and TKaM is, while these books have obvious anti-slavery and anti-racism themes, their authors were white and never actually lived the experiences they talked about. Obviously this is horseshit; you don't need to be black to think "hey maybe racism isn't a good thing".

I think they think they're still racist because they got popular when black authors are supposedly are ignored for talking about the same things. Despite people like Dhonielle having what appear to be multiple decent gigs going on. It's never enough though.

And that's the most maddening thing about this bigot.

By her logic, Harriet Beecher Stowe never should have written "Uncle Tom's Cabin", even though it galvanized a lot of abolitionist support to the point Abe Lincoln sat up and took notice on how it helped bring the South into the idea of secession and civil war to protect their right to force blacks into involuntary servitude.

And I guess Lincoln should have shut the hell up about slavery in word and by pen, even though he was the man who BROKE THE CHAINS OF SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES FOREVER DESPITE NOT BEING BLACK.

In short, this woman is an imbecile racist too blinded by her prejudice against white people to reflect on the fact that if it wasn't for the whites who were both gifted writers and had souls infused with hatred of chattel slavery, her ass would likely either never been born or she'd be under a whip picking cotton even now.

tl;dr: Not only is she a bigot, she's an ungrateful, idiotic bigot.

That’s why all science fiction and fantasy books need to burn, since none of the authors have lived the experience of being a Jedi, hobbit, or Guild Navigator.

Because nobody buys her shit. It's not enough to do that anyway. You have to ruin everything else.

Testing English teachers for reading comprehension is racis

Unlike cotton.

fftopic:
Cotton can actually be hard to pick (if you count the whole process of getting the threads away from the seed, cleaning out sticks, dirt, and other crap that can muck up your cotton gin, cotton rot is a bitch etc.) Luckily with newer varieties of cotton, the seeds are smoother, the bolls are wider and they tend to cluster up making it much easier to pick and clean. The threads are higher quality, too - if you get it from a good source. Otherwise your shirt is probably gonna be meh.

Children's literature doesn't need to be "real."
It needs to be for children not whiny overly sensitive adult babies.

Yeah pretty much this. Honestly idk why writers and content creators are so obsessed with breaking into the mainstream acceptance and trying to shove a square peg into a round hole. Most of these assholes could easily market to subcultures and anti mainstream outfits easily. If the mainstream doesn't fit what you wanna do then do your own thing. Hell subcultures get co-opted all the time and marketed by the mainstream. Trying to force your progressive ideas on a mostly white conservative nation sounds like a long swim up shit creek, just sell shit to hipsters...oh wait they don't buy anything anyone cares about.

I buy progressive books all the time, hell indy comics are teeming with it, for everything that marvel did wrong with their "progressive" bender there are so many artists that have done it right years ago. Stop trying to force your shitty politics into entertainment. It doesn't sell and just annoys true and honest fans.

Wait, a minority only ends up being a minority of popular authors? Sound the alarm. It’s almost as if these markets are over saturated with work and even well-written books by white cis male devil authors are often passed over and not discovered until after the author is dead if at all.
Maybe I’ll move to Nigeria and became an attention whore that cries about all the black people books.

>Nigerians can read and write
You should go into writing because that's some off-the-wall fantasy right there.

Good call. I'd spring a hundred bucks for this one to take a gene test. I'd bet another hundred there's more Europe than Africa in her veins.

You know, gene testing ought to be a requirement for professional racial agitators.

That was a bad example because I like living in houses not mud huts and having electricity and indoor plumbing and not speaking exclusively in clicks.
Make that a non-third world African country...
I’d like an unicorn too.
