I barely heard about this story and am
surprised that it didn't make more news. That is why I write this
nonsense. An author of children books aimed at Black children
Jacqueline Woodson received a National Book Award for her book Brown
Girl Dreaming. After accepting the award author Daniel Handler who is
best known for his Lemony Snicket novels got up to tell what he
thought would be a funny joke.
Now, before I get to what he said I
need to just say this to you, the reader, and I want you to share
this information with your friends: read the room. You can't just say
whatever comes to mind or whatever you think is funny and expect
everyone to agree with you.
