That’s actually a great point. Road the hell paved with, and all that...

I’m totally ok with opposing opinions. But I’m totally NOT OKAY with being called (direct quote here) “fucking stupid,” which is why you’re last comment was dismissed. That does not add to discourse, whereas your comment here actually does.

SHE SAID HER HAIR WAS A 4?

6/12/15

Technically, you can’t disprove her theory.

6/12/15

NO. STOP.

A few suggestions:

idk, here in west-europe we usually classify ‘white people’ as the people from north/west europe. always funny how americans just split up the world into whites and blacks.

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:

I have black family members who look just like this woman, down to their freckles, and green and blue eyes, though their hair is darker. I wouldn’t have questioned her blackness.

Exactly. What I’m getting at is there wouldn’t be any obvious reason to vet her racial background. There’s nothing precluding a white person from heading an NAACP chapter, so why lie? And if there’s no reason to lie, why investigate her race? I mean, obviously, they have reason to look in the future, but it would have…

They just need to shut the whole thing down. Shut it down. This is too crazy to be real. But it’s real.

White people can and have (in the distant past) head the NAACP. It would be discriminatory to base the position on her skin color.

“No but like, for real right?”

But apparently her answer would have been a hearty “hell, yeah!” (or at least have contained a reference to the African continent) so maybe it wouldn’t have mattered too much.

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.

6/12/15

WAIT that's her in the wedding dress? It doesn't even look like the same person.

6/12/15

Not the same thing, but I would hope that one day we are progressive enough that we don’t need an internal feeling from when we were born to physically switch genders. (I believe people when they say they were born in the wrong body.) Or choose to be gay, for that matter if there isn’t a gene. Who the heck cares what…

Is her husband part of this charade or is he also just learning that the woman he previously thought was just light-skinned is actually a whole other kind of light-skinned?
