You've probably heard the Jessica Krug story by now. For years, the George Washington University history professor described herself as an "Afro-Puerto Rican" from the Bronx, even regularly mining her "lived experience" as an oppressed minority for her academic writings.
In reality, Krug was a Jewish lady from suburban Kansas City. Her ruse fell apart last week after a few actual Afro Latina professors—evidently possessing Nazi-level jewdar—confronted Krug and threatened to expose her true demographic identity. Krug decided to preempt her exposure by confessing her racial appropriation in a blog post, resigning her tenured professorship, and disappearing from public view.
There's a lot to be said about this incident, and much has been said already. But I think the most important part of this story has been overlooked. It is what Krug's written confession reveals about the nature of Woke theology; what it might feel like, emotionally and psychologically, to actually believe in it; and what its growth would mean for society.
Krug's short confession is chilling and compelling. Entitled "Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies", it reads, above all, like a suicide note—and that's because it is a suicide note: it acknowledges the imminent end of a self, with no replacement self in view.
In so many words, True Believer Krug reveals that for her sins, Wokism now requires her effective death.

One drop test?
Well, if race is purely a social construct, did she do anything wrong?
I still think it’s awesome that Randy Bachman’s kid is a conservative.
If a man can be a woman why can’t a white be black?
Is this the same Tal Bachman who had the hit song “She’s So High”? Son of Bachman-Turner Overdrive founding member Randy Bachman.
I think it is. The singers Wiki page says he moonlights as a political commentator
How many times have you heard someone say, “He/She can be anything they want to be - this is America?”
Can you blame someone who actually believes it?
I can hear her defenders now: “It’s not HER fault she was born a privileged Jewish girl in the Midwest instead of a mixed race girl in Puerto Rico? She didn’t get to CHOOSE that. So what’s wrong with letting her make up an alternate life?”
her parents are Jewish and moved to Mexico....
typical of the networks to have a Jewish woman be the voice of Mexican cooking....it just irks me..
