Time for a serious discussion about transracial issues?

Not really. You should probably explain why you feel that to be significant.

One of my black customers told me that he gives her credit for at least doing something with her blackness. And I kinda agree. I thought to myself, at least she isn't another Throatzilla. Then I found out about her sex tape and lol'd and never mind.

[archibaldcrane]

Wait, she has a sex tape now? Is she white or "black" in it?

[archibaldcrane]

Oh its actually a sad weird story (like all of this seems destined to devolve into)

[Salodin]

A local radio show said what's been on my mind the whole time, "People asking her to step down because of her lies is one thing, but she would have never gotten the job that she's done good at if she didn't lie and say she was black. Isn't that pretty racist? Especially the ones calling for her to step down because she isn't black?"

Nope because it doesn't matter if you are a great doctordoctor, if you've been lying about going to med school in the first place.

She is technically colored(orange), so I dont see why she couldnt work for the NAACP.

There's a movie about that.

It's not like the NAACP hasn't had white members, even chapter presidents before. Here's one in South Carolina who became chapter president in 2011.

Still orange in this photo shoot, im not sure about the sex tape though. I'm going to have to do some dirty searches to find it.

[Mertron]

seriously not only are there other NAACP chapter leaders who are white, the NAACP was founded by some white members, and their first president was white (yes there are obviously different issues why that happened based on the times at play). The more I read about this woman, even if she identifies as black, everything seems to point to her doing this solely for her own benefit. Now, were there good intentions for her deception? Maybe, but it was still about her. It plays into her claiming racism about her being white at Howard too; all about her benefit.

sorry I'm pregaming the Yankee game and I'm hammered

[Salodin]

Eh. The more I read the more I realize how terrible she is.

[archibaldcrane]

Her parents are also homeschooling Christian fundies, and her older brother is battling a sexual assault of a minor charge - the whole thing gets sadder and sadder

[Dimmauk]

After reading about her family, I understand why she changed her identity and why she is crazy.

[Andalusian girls]

it's hard to keep up where the transphobia goes

[BaneTheBrawler]

Was there some purpose to this necro?
