Over the years, many an unscrupulous author has assumed an alibi in order to pass as a member of another ethnic group. Perhaps the most infamous of these so-called slippery characters was Ku Klux Klansman Asa Carter who faked a Native American background to publish The Education of Little Tree, a critically-acclaimed memoir about growing up Cherokee which not only topped the NY Times Bestseller List back in the Seventies but won the Book of the Year Award as well. Truth be told, Carter was an inveterate segregationist and white supremacist who attacked Nat King Cole when he came to Alabama to perform in 1956, and who castrated a black janitor a year later, before being hired by Alabama Governor George Wallace as his speechwriter. So excuse me for being a little skeptical about Why Do Black People Love Fried Chicken, and wondering whether the person posing as the suspicious-sounding Nashieqa Washington was an opportunist or actually African-American.
