When I first saw people pretending to be Black online (obviously so) I was incredulous. The most degraded people who do this use stereotyped Black images, or--until this most recent ME conflict in Gaza--also stereotypical big nose, yarmulke wearing Jewish images with ridiculous, stereotyped Jewish names. They are white supremacists. I have a bad review by someone who used the name "Randolph Calverhall" to trash my first novel. I'm not Black, no one in the public could have had a reason to think I had any Jewish ancestry (my father is Jewish) but these weirdos somehow sought out a little-known first time book that suggested people who were victims of a human mutating virus would be put into work camps or incarcerated and used this name of the white supremacist author of "The Serpent's Path." That was present for 6 yrs before I realized it wasn't just a weird guy with a strange name. I brought it up to the readers I had at the time (mid-2000s) and they uncovered DOZENS of such slam, insulting, ridiculous reviews on the books of Black authors, especially Black women. It is a hobby and sick pastime for these twisted, evil individuals. It is sickening. This aspect of "human nature" is beyond comprehension of decent people except to see and know it exists. As someone willing to speak up on behalf of others, there is one or more on everything I've written via Medium for almost 10 yrs now that mentions Black Americans, Native Americans, or the rights of women in general.
