Harris-Perry questioned whether one can be “cisblack and transblack,” and whether there’s a way to describe “the achievement of blackness despite one’s parentage.”How do people say crap like this with a straight face?

If you’ve been following the Rachel Dolezal story online, you may have seen the word “transracial” being thrown around and people saying choosing to be black is like Caitlyn Jenner choosing to be female. It’s unclear how much of it’s sincere and how much is just straight-up trolling, but MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry entertained the notion on her show today with kind of a huge question.
“Is it possible that she might actually be black?”
While not wanting to make the transgender comparison, Harris-Perry questioned whether one can be “cisblack and transblack,” and whether there’s a way to describe “the achievement of blackness despite one’s parentage.”
Alyson Hobbs, who literally wrote the book on “racial passing,” said there’s “certainly a chance that she identifies as a black woman and there could be authenticity to that.”

Are college campii already teaching this?
How about the term “TransEthnic”?
How about the term “mentally imbalanced” or the term “mentally impaired”?
“Is it possible that she might actually be black?”
“Is it possible that she might actually be mentally deranged?”
If she has black brothers and sisters, why isn’t she black?

Not really. Just teach the answers on the standardized test, like every other “educator”.

So now I can achieve blackness? Do you need to collect something like Green Stamps or is it like a Navy qual card where you just get signatures for performing “black tasks”?
Has any seen her dance moves?
Her “blackness” was caused by global warming and/or George Bush....
Look at that nose, she is black. From now on I judge a person by the size of their nostrils and not by the content of their character.
