I have to confess - as I’m a Korean-American. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my all-time favorite films. I can totally understand though.

The role that killed him (and a shit-ton of other people)!

My favorite example; John Wayne as Genghis Kahn.

Funny how only white people seem to have the spirit of so many roles!

She was divorced and then started the transformation. I would imagine that she was reacting to rejection from her ex and possibly his black friends and family and this is her emotional, racially confused response. To assume an identity other than her own.

I wonder if we can ever look at race the same way we look at gender. Caitlin Jenner lived the majority of her life as a man, and if anyone had asked her a decade ago, “are you a woman?” she probably would have been uncomfortable. And, had she answered “yes,” folks would have been ALL OVER that shit.

I’m black. In the photos above, she looks like black people I’ve known, but I better shut up before my blackness starts getting questioned...

Okay, so you are the arbiter of who is looks black and who doesn’t, but what if you are wrong? I assume your assumptions would be incredibly offensive to any mixed person you were wrong about, no?

You can do genetic tests via visual examination? I bet you could get $1 million from James Randi.

Herein lies the problem: unlike tribal units who can define what it is to be Cree, Lakota, Apache, etc. and being Indian is then Extrapolated from this, there is no longer a traditional authority defining American blackness. There is not membership vetting process. You don’t get a “black card”.

Yeah, considering that humans like to blame everyone when one person in a group does something, I can imagine that mixed race men and women will be verbal targets for the next few days. I’m already seeing these jokes:

Those are her MOTHER’S adopted kids, FYI. Just to take you further down the rabbit hole. So those are her brothers and sisters.

I actually meant to reply to someone else, but there is a vast difference between dismissing someone as a “stupid bitch,” and credulously accepting everything they say about themselves, especially when many of those things have already been outed as lies. All we know about this woman right now is that she’s been lying

I think this, similarly to the lady who lied about being in 9/11, can be correlated to a serious break in reality... possible psychosis. Nobody is giving her the benefit of the doubt on anything, nor is it something I suggested. There is a reason people do things beyond her just being a stupid bitch. Which honestly, I

To borrow a phrase from a bygone clusterfuck, not so much a grain of salt as a rock of crack. She’s flat-out lied about so many things at this point that there’s no reason to give her the benefit of the doubt on anything, especially stories about her own persecution and victimhood.

I mean this is clearly a sick woman we are dealing with. On the other hand,with what little I know about her, I’d take everything she said with a grain of salt.

The husband definitely knew. The linked article shows her wedding in 2000 where she is quite blonde, and her mother mentions that she started disguising herself in 2006 or 2007. So they were a few years into marriage by that point. I wonder if she just started doing it and he didn’t bring it up for some reason, or if

Sadly, based on interviews she has given in the past, it sounds like she has had a very rough life. According to Rachel, her parents were abusive, and when she was an adult her parents adopted 3 young black children; around the same time, she began altering her appearance. Also around this same time, she allegedly was

Would YOU wanna be the person who questioned the racial credentials of the new president of your NAACP chapter? How bad would you look if you were wrong? I think there was plenty of talk but no one wanted to be that person who asked her if she was really black.
