Slate (I know, I know - but it has links) makes the point that she is hardly the first white American to purposely attempt to pass as black.

While there have been relatively few people who pretend to be black, there are lots of people throughout history that have claimed their origin was first nations.

One, I'm sure it's not an honest question. Two, one is a sexual identity, which is intimate and determines at a fundamental level how one relates to one's own sexuality (not to mention how others do), while the other is almost exclusively about community identity and social fellowship.

One's about fucking, the other's about hanging out and civic activities.

I think it's about a little more then fucking.  Both issues are centered around an assumed identity.  An identity that in contradicted by physical characteristics. You brought up fucking, so I'll use the same thought experiment I used on Marty. You are are approached by two people, both are naked.  One is a woman and is a man.  The man claims that his physical gender is male but he identifies as female.  Which one are you more likely to find attractive?  Which one will get your dick hard?  If they both offered to have sex with you, which one you choose?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Or maybe she's just making shit up.

Why publicly out your daughter in this way?  She doesn't appear to be hurting anyone by pretending to be black.

Because she publicly accused them of committing hate crimes.

Because she has publicly stated they abused her, when it likely is something she just made up as part of her whole pathological lying about her background thing?  :hmm:

My take is that her parents were willing to let her claim to be Black, but not to be publicly pilloried as racist abusers - I can't call them "dicks" for that.

So the Languish interpretation is that the hysterical woman made up stories about racial abuse? What a shocker. :rolleyes:

It sounds like she may have staged some other hate crimes against herself.
