Snip-"A history professor at George Washington University admitted in a blog post to claiming a Black identity, despite being White.
Jessica A. Krug said she has deceived friends and colleagues by falsely claiming several identities, including “North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness,” she wrote in a blog post on Medium. Krug, whose areas of expertise include African American history, Africa and Latin America, is White and Jewish, she admitted.
“I am not a culture vulture. I am a culture leech,” Krug wrote. “I have thought about ending these lies many times over many years, but my cowardice was always more powerful than my ethics.”

If "white privilege" is a wide-spread thing AND gives white people such a huge advantage over people of other skin colors, why in the world would anyone give up said privilege and advantage?
It also makes me wonder about something else. If you can choose your gender, which is essentially a binary choice, why can't you choose your race, which can be a mixture of a whole lot of things?

8. We'll see. Rachel is just one of many whites going black face
worked out well. And we can take that waay to the minstrel shows.
A second career for Sleepy Joe after he craps out in politics--a reality TV show where he uncovers and outs all of these fake black people. All he needs is the perfect catch phrase--C'mon man, you aint black!
