Professor Jessica Krug admits she lied about being black: ‘I cancel myself’
New York Post ^ | September 3, 2020 | Hannah Frishberg and Elizabeth Rosner

Despite publicly living as a black woman for years, George Washington University associate professor Jessica Krug admitted Thursday that she is actually a “culture leech” — who is white.

“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,” Krug, 38, writes in a brief but life-shattering Medium post titled “The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies.”

The self-proclaimed “historian of politics, ideas, and cultural practices in Africa and the African Diaspora” goes on to detail a lengthy trail of public deception.

“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: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” she says. “I have built my life on a violent anti-Black lie, and I have lied in every breath I have taken.”

Krug has a Ph.D. and is the author of the book “Fugitive Modernities: Kisama and the Politics of Freedom,” which “interrogates the political practices and discourses through which those who fled from slavery and the violence of the slave trade in Angola forged coherent political communities outside of, and in opposition to, state politics,” according to her GW faculty profile.

She has not lived a double life, she claims, as she has no other life beyond the lie she has been living.

“There is no parallel form of my adulthood connected to white people or a white community or an alternative white identity. I have lived this lie, fully, completely, with no exit plan or strategy,” Krug writes. “I have no identity outside of this.”

If you can pretend to be the other sex, why not a different race? If there is so much white privilege why are some whites (Warren, Dolezal, Krug) trying to pass for non-white? Krug, unlike Warren, appears to have a sense of shame.

So another mentally ill academic. Why is this news? It’s only news when you find one who isn’t a nut.

It doesn’t make sense. If being black only lead to oppression, than what was she getting out of it?

If I claimed to be black, I would be found out right away, because I can’t dance.

There’s got to be some sort of really serious virus going around that infects peoples minds and makes them think they are the opposite sex, any gender they want to be (apparently 7 or more now), any race they want to be and actually believe in liberalism, progressivism, communisum and Marxism.

Maybe this is the “Zoombie Apocalypse” we’ve been warned about and it takes on several forms.

Definitely infects the mind.

This has GOT to be some kind of uncategorized mental illness.

Clearly a case of race dysphoria.

I’d have more respect for her if this “confession” was found on a note pinned to her body after she hung herself.

I’m sure she owns a million dollar house with a couple mill in a slush fund for her rainy day blue buying splurges, she ain’t hurtin’, eh

The core of the issue is the idea that race, gender, etc., are definitional.

They aren’t.

They describe a person - with varying degrees of accuracy.

But they do not define a person.

Very courageous of her to step out of her lies.

“Mental health issues likely explain why I assumed a false identity initially, as a youth, and why I continued and developed it for so long,”

At least she now owns up to the cause.She'll probably be attacked for that, because that can also be applied to others who are not what they claim to be.

Lookwise, she is more convincing than Rachel Dolezal.

“Culture leech”. That is a great term and perfectly descriptive. Going to remember that one.
