She's a soul woman.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

That's the same person? How did she get that hair? Wig? duper-uber tight perm?

Should the Left shame the parents for being shamed?

Kinda like Selfie - a black woman trapped in a white man at the country club.

Or something.

What a great country for a grifter. You go girl! You can always reinvent yourself as a Navaho spokesperson. Keep the con going!

Ben Shapiro says she teaches a class at Eastern Washington University called... are you sitting down?... The Black Woman Struggle.

She's a wigger. Sure, why not, sexual orientation? Transitory? Gender? Transitory? Race? Transitory. It's what you feel, not what you are that matters. Hell, she should have been a transexual black man and put the icing on the cake.

Imagine a Black man decides he's white and becomes a leader of the KKK. That's what we have here. It's awesome! Finally we are truly color blind. Mullet rockin' great Jesus in a fanny pack, we have overcome! Thank you, Obama. I knew you could do it.

It's Friday!!!.....
or Tuesday, or whatever day I feel like saying it is.

Looking at it another way...

All she did was to scam another successful scam.

That's why could get away with it.

So I guess blackface is no longer a racist thing to do?

Because at other places people are not allowed to laugh and joke about this obvious fraud and the gullible people who bought into it.

Some of the staid pundits stayed away, awaiting confirmation that this isn't some kind of hoax.

She is more attractive with the sun tan, the Sideshow Bob hairdo and dramatic makeup.

I'd do her in her black getup.

No way I'd do her in her hausfrau getup.

Shouting Thomas said...

Which raises the question:

Does she screw like a black girl or like a white girl?

Methadras said...

Now that I look at her again, she doesn't even look remotely black. More like a Pennsylvanian with a bad hair job and a shittier tan.

Leland said...

Can we talk about this here?

Don't need trigger warnings here, Haz. Let it fly!

Personally, I thought the NAACP needed to go the way of the KKK, as it seemed to exist to be the opposite of the KKK (well, maybe the Black Panthers, but...) I'm good with all these organizations that are based on race going away. I don't have a problem with racial pride at all, but I do think the organizations that seek racial victims are hurting society and most often the supposed victims most. With that in mind, I think a white woman leading the NAACP should piss off poor blacks that keep being told they are victims because of white privilege. Yeah well, a white woman is now running the organization that is supposed to advance you. She broke through the glass ceiling and not you. Maybe you should quit giving them your support and listening to them.

Alas, if this doesn't offend you, then perhaps it is evidence we are post racial, and it doesn't matter who runs the NAACP. Fine, can we quit then worrying about the color of the people running corporations, because we certainly don't seem to care about the lack of color among Democrat Presidential Campaign Staffs.

Beyond the pale. Very funny.

But this is not the typical dyed-in-the-wool identity switch and there is no reason her prospects should darken. So just tone it down, there are no shades of racism here. She was raised as a black girl and leopards cannot change their spots. Unless they undergo cancer treatments then all spot-related bets are off.

I'm with BagO: the end of racial/sexual/ethnic/class identity is the inevitable end of identity politics, no? Bring it on.

"Race" is and always was (in America) "fungible". Once the slaveowner raped you it didn't matter how light or dark your bastard kids were - they were raised with the slave and considered "black" forevermore. "Black" meant slave and "white" meant non-slave.

The more original version of this story was a movie called Soul Man

Wasn't there a book "Black like me" about a brave white man who pretended to be a black man to understand all the discrimination?

This seems similar although, she seems to have wanted all the benefits of being black.
