Another white woman pretended to be black and perhaps took money/ work earmarked for black people.
Is it so wrong though? Men 'pretend' to be women. Women 'pretend' to be men.
Is being trans-race very different?

[fiction-factory]

The other case I remember is this,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal
although in her case she maintained she was black as she identified as black even though she was born white and her parents and ancestors were white. She said race is a social construct

[Spicerack]

Elizabeth Warren got a leg up as a person of colour (Native American) as well. Bit different with her perhaps.

[Spicerack]

^I was going to say Warren didn't believe it. But who knows, maybe she did.

[Old_Geezer]

These days I'm informed one is what what identifies as. So why the "confession" ?

MAABOF!

Another one who took the Blue Pill.

Liarwatha - -

In the lips of great white liar
oh his hands grows the whoppa
and his tales are upside downside
and confuses blackness whiteness

sozza bored on a wet sat
yeah someone has cited Dolesai
the lickle liar - might do well on AB ( ter daaah!)

she said being a sociologist - that race behaviour was a social construct -
and - - - if a black ( er afro caribbean ) teenager says: "an' dat eez laaf in Breextarn marn...."
she may have a point as the ickle fella was born here and has taken the patois as a choice

just as Trev McDonald - (dat chockice) made BBC english ( RP) as his life choice

Some people do accent swappsy depending on where they are. Essex darn sarf and a northern bette lynch oop t north
I just think they know where they are but they dont know who they are ( ter daaah!) [denial of identity sort of]

What the heck is a liarwatha?
I see it's used to describe Elisabeth Warren...but where is the connection with Hiawatha? ( character/poem by Longfellow)...just mystified.

[Spicerack]

She pretended she was native American. It's funny, see.

[pastafreak]

I got that...but still don't understand the connection with Hiawatha. I suppose it could just as easily been Sitting Bull. But then one is fictional...the other a highly esteemed historical leader. I suppose that's it.
Oh well...another odd modern day thing to feel confused by.

// but still don't understand the connection with Hiawatha. //

Hiawatha - Liarwatha. It's a kind of Sun Headline-ism. I don't think you could get anything approaching an allusion of untruth from "Sitting Bull", but hey-ho. :-)

Jessica Krug aka Jess Lam Bombera (haha) wrote...

“For the better part of my adult life, every move I’ve made, every relationship I’ve formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies,”
“To an escalating degree over my adult life, I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim,” Krug wrote. “First North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.”

This is indeed how American college professors communicate. Nearly as indecipherable as our own intellectual wannabe. Affectations pay big money. Her bookie wookie all about pretending to be black will pay more than a real black woman writing about it. There you have it in a nutshell. Jessica Krug donned blackface, a fake Black accent, and three fake personas to race-bait Blacks against Whites.
She was able able to get away with it for a while as a 'woman of colour'. When she got caught out, she immediately turned around to claim she's really 'White Jewish' and couldn't help it, thus implicitly pinning the blame on 'white privelege' and Jews. Nice. Wonder whether she voted for Trump?

[pastafreak]

Please don't use 'injun'...sounds disrespectful to me.

[Spicerack]

HOW? De de de, Dede de Di de.

[Deskdiary]

Oooh, careful Spicerack, saying that men who identify as women are ‘pretending’ is the current heresy. You need to get on board that we’re meant to not only accept it, but we’re meant to respect it as well.

[pixie374]

I don't see it is any different tbh. In fact, it's more likely, as you could possibly have a diff6race as part of your ancestry. Your sex is 100% though. There are many people claiming to be transrace... it isn't new, but I genuinely don't understand why they are vilified, while transgender is fine.
Also, spice, you must have seen the transage people too (not sure of the proper word), of middle-aged men claiming to identify as 8 year old girls. I'm not honestly sure whether they are being allowed to join Rainbows etc, I know they are wanting to. So, I guess it will happen.
Still, all is acceptable if you say so! Apparently.
