How do we know if blacks are real and not just white liberals?

"Now she spends her first Juneteenth as a defrocked white woman, her Jewfro a sad reminder of the time she was just the conspicuously worst dancer at work parties."

 

Everything is a social construct.

Even the idea of social constructs is just a social construct.

 

What she did was very courageous and brave, if not crazy as well.

 

I think there's a difference between being "Black" and African American. She wanted to be black and maybe the world should accept her as such.

 

Who's the world? People on twitter?

Again you are socially constructing things that don't exist.

Under anti miscegenation laws in the 19th century, if you had a "single drop" of black blood, you were categorized as black.

You could be blond haired and blue eyed but if you had a single black ancestor five generations ago, you were "tsinted" and black (though obviously they called you negro, or whatever word was in fashon). I'm sure in practice it was difficult to enforce, but that was the law.

 

She can be "black" and dress and spraytan or whatever however she wants. But she also is a liar. And it wasn't just self-protection (for example, hiding that one is gay) - they were lies specifically to advance her career and give her credibility. She should be treated the same as anyone else who lied to their employer to advance.

 

Are you sure she lied? are you sure she lied to get ahead in her career?

From what I read she did the flip way beforehand. She only recently got appointed to the NCAAP but had been "black" for 10 years.

Why is it a problem for someone to identify with a culture and want to be part of it?

 

Are we really doing this?

 

Mirrors?

 

Before white people people were just people. Now in an attempt to categorise people have lost their personhood and people are no longer just people but people of arbitrarily constructed values.

 

Well yeah, uh...yeah...uhhhmmmm...

So we white or black? And what are they?

 

I think there's a difference between being a "dumbass" and being a moron. Sweet Lou wants to be a dumbass and maybe the world should accept him as such.

 

i've always felt I'm just a black lesbian trapped in a straight, white mans body. I may petition Clutch to change my moniker to Cha'mique.

 

All homo sapiens descended from blacks, we are all black. Some are just melatonin-ly challenged.

 

So my wife (who has blonde hair and blue eyes and is about as white as you can get) is apparently 0.1 % sub-Saharan African, according to 23andme.

I knew it. Always had a thing for black girls .

 

Yes - she's made up multiple stories about her childhood, from living in a teepee to growing up in South Africa. She created a fake father. She made up at least one hate crime (she's reported numerous ones - none stuck). She may have made up that she had cancer.

In July 2010, Dolezal resigned from Human Rights Education Institute in Kootenai County, and stated to KREM 2 News that "she had been the target of discrimination."[53] Dolezal stated on September 29, 2009, to KXLY that she had become a target of racism after she recently woke up to find a noose on her front porch.[54][55][56][57][58] Dolezal's biography on Eastern Washington University's website states that while living in Idaho "at least eight documented hate crimes targeted (Rachel) Dolezal and her children."[59] The subsequent police investigation did not support the allegation.[60] Detectives said the envelope that contained the alleged threats had no postage stamps, barcodes or any other indication of having been handled by the postal service.[61] The postal inspector said "the only way this letter could have ended up in this P.O. box would be if it was placed there by someone with a key to that box or a USPS employee."[61]

Dolezal has been described as "the most spectacular example of the growing phenomenon of people posing as victims" by Dominic Lawson, who describes this as a "consequence of a culture which portrays victimhood as a form of moral superiority".[62] Kurt Neumaier, a former member of the oversight board of the Human Rights Education Institute, concludes that in every incident Dolezal has alleged, "she was the sole witness to events that, when put under scrutiny, don’t hold up."[63]
