Her parents enabled her, then had the nerve to expose her
it's like being the getaway driver in a bank job, getting away with it, then running to the police.

This situation truly shows how black people embrace and are accepting of other cultures and ethnicities but then get dragged by the same people who wouldn't even give us home loans[emoji]128512[/emoji]
We shouldn't shame her, if that's not the most laughable thing I've heard[emoji]128512[/emoji]
This woman pretended to be something she was not. She was out here straight frauding and deceiving people not only out of money but positions to actual African American Women. There are sisters that work diligently in our communities everyday to get kids on the right track and are fighting corrupt systems of oppression for all and this broad decides one day to pull a
Like I said before she could have worked in the community as a white woman. She didn't have to posture or take positions from hard working black people. I mean I just don't understand how she was able to pull this off for so long. Her husband an ex fiancée can't be this dense but I got a feeling they sold their souls.
This ish really is mind boggling[emoji]128512[/emoji]

CBS Commentator Assumed Jay Smooth Was Co-Opting Blackness Until He Said, ‘I’m Black’
Talk about a #racetogether moment.
BY: YESHA CALLAHAN

Tuesday night, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tackled the subject of Starbucks’ #RaceTogether campaign on his show All in With Chris Hayes. The panel discussion included CBS Sunday Morning’s Nancy Giles and culture commentator and DJ Jay Smooth. Smooth is known for his talks on race and his in-depth knowledge of hip-hop and culture.
If you’re not familiar with Smooth, a good place to start is watching his video “On Don Lemon, Race & ‘Respectability’”:
During last night’s segment on Starbucks’ failed campaign, Giles started to make fun of how she assumed Smooth was co-opting blackness because of the way he talked and the music he listens to.
“I can’t not tease Jay about the kinda like brotha way he was trying to talk, like, ‘Hey,’ with the rap music in the background, and, like, down with the people,” Giles said.
I can’t even imagine what was going through Smooth’s head while she was talking. But he did let her know that he is definitely a rap guy.
But Giles didn’t stop there. She just kept on inserting her foot into her mouth based on her own assumptions, and teased Smooth about trying to act black.
“Yeah, I know, but it’s another interesting, funny thing about race. Like, there would be some people that would feel that you co-opted something like that, and other people might feel like that’s his background and that’s really cool, too,” Giles said. “These are conversations, you know, ‘Yo, like, ya know, yeah, if somebody takes my wallet,’ I mean, it's really interesting.”
And if there was ever a time to insert a “Well, that was awkward” gif, right now would have been that moment.
“It's also interesting because I’m actually black, but you assumed otherwise,” Smooth said.
This is the exact awkwardness that many people were trying to prove when they rallied against #RaceTogether on Twitter. Imagine if Smooth was having a #RaceTogether convo with a white barista at Starbucks, and the barista has no idea he’s black and goes on a rant about “those black people.” That would definitely make for another awkward moment, when all you were trying to do was get your macchiato.

I wonder if anyone questioned whether he was really black or not?

Funny to me the outsiders got the most to say on the topic. Same dudes in other threads hollering white privilege doesn't exist can all of sudden testify on Black matters

My post was sarcastic and mocking the idea that she has an identity conflict.

THIS IS THE SAME AS IF SOMEONE SAID, "IF THERE WASN'T A LAW OR ANY PUNISHMENT FOR KILLING A MAN, I MIGHT OF KILLED 3 MEN BY NOW."
USUALLY WHEN ONE SAYS THIS, THEY ACTUALLY MEAN IT.

At least this is one of the more in your face examples of cultural appropriation where yet again the target is black ppl.

Wtf?
no question she believed she was black. Light skin privilege/burden? The bridge between whites and dark skins?
