George Washington University is looking into a confession by a professor of Africana studies and history that she has been pretending to be Black.
Jessica Krug admits she was born a white, Jewish girl from Kansas City, not the Black Latina from the inner city she claimed to be in her books.
Krug, whose work has been up for prestigious Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass book prizes, is now calling herself a culture “leech.”
Critics say the author and associate professor made the admission not to clear her conscience but because she was found out.
In a blog post, Krug calls herself a coward and says she deserves to be canceled, blaming it all on mental illness.
Essence magazine has removed her writing from its website.
George Washington University says it cannot comment further on personnel matters.
Believe me, that's the last thing the race hustlers want to do.
The Left would have to bring back the old Jim Crow era ‘One Drop’ Laws!......................
She needs to hook up with Talcum X.
That's exactly what they're afraid of. A whole bunch of blond-haired, blue-eyed white people with their "23andMe" results showing a drop of African blood from the Moorish invasion 1300 years ago and then claiming African-American recognition.
And then liberals will have to implement percentage requirements and that's when things will get really fun!
If white privilege existed...
Why are whites pretending to be black or other minorities?
And why do mixed racial people, like obama, emphasize their blackness and de-emphasize their whiteness?
Why did Elizabeth Warren pretend to be an Indian?
Because there is no such thing as white privilege.
In fact, it is a liability.
...”wanna go to the GAP?....”
You made my post for me!
So it’s ok for a dude to claim to be a gal and vice-versa, but you cannot claim another ethnicity??
Excellent point.
IF there was white privilege then Bammy should have played up that angle. Instead he went black.
Apparently that’s cultural misappropriation or something............
lol, what part of black culture would we want??
What ‘culture’?
Drugs, violence, misogyny and illegitimacy?............................
Great. Please add her to the “Black Privilege” montage.
Fake blacks (at least 3) and half-blacks who choose black (at least 3).
There is no “White Privilege”, only black.
OTOH, if she did real work, with good research and conclusions, I don’t know that the work should be “cancelled”.
Exactly. We need a ready-to-go meme about black privilege.
Showcasing the fake blacks, and the Halfricans who always choose to be black (even though invariably, they were also raised mostly by whites).
What a brave brave woman, to throw away all of that glorious white privilege, and choose the less celebrated path in academia of being a black person. Ahem.
My God...
Are ANY of these people real?
Fake hate crimes, fake credentials, fake narratives, fake history, and fake Race claims...
Don’t we have laws against fraud?
If all of us 'self identify' as black can we do the whole pity party thing?
