WTF was this all about??????

OMG right?  WHAT?? I am so confused.  Genders? 

Yeah...I’m...what?  It seems like the TikTok house is rife for mocking, but I’m completely missing why it’s funny (?) to refer to the occupants as new genders?  Is this some statement about gender identity politics, or satire, or...just failure?

Wha...what did I just read? Am I now officially an old as a Millennial? I recognize all of the words, but not in the order in which they’re placed.

Absolutely this. If she wants to pretend that this was a crisis of conscience (we all know it wasn’t - she was getting ahead of the story) then the LEAST she can do, the absolute LEAST, is put her money where her mouth is and work to allow actual Black women to progress further in their fields of study. 

I guess we’re all blind when it comes to ourselves, but.. this is a woman who has undoubtedly called for other people to resign, to make reparations, to step back. In the most recent example I could find, she criticized white people for taking up space in a city council meeting and told them to cede their time to…

Nah fuck that, she doesn’t just get to leave (and potentially get a book deal a la Dolezal). She financially benefited from her deception while keeping an actual black person from this opportunity. For a decade. Call on her to fully fund a scholarship for Afro Latinxs to go to GW every. Damn. Year.

Some of the other comments arguing it is logical to do this because it works are ignoring WHY it works. 

That’s legit, she is both of their child, and has both of their genetic make-up. I’m super-white, but my kid’s last name is hispanic, because they are half-hispanic. I’m not trying to get over, but if they get benefits because of their (legit) heritage I’m not going to deny them. 

I can only assume someone who wakes up and perpetuates this fiction every single day for more than a decade has something fundamentally wrong with her.  But it doesn’t mean I’ll give her a pass.  Go get your therapy, then GTFO.

Bingo. 

There is no way Dolezal is elected to a NAACP presidency position if members know she’s white, and that’s perfectly fair.

However, I couldn’t read her post without compassion for someone who was clearly VERY disturbed, needs massive amounts of therapy, and has more than likely lost every single person in her entire life in one day.

They are taking up the limited space Black academics can hope to to be considered worthy of occupying. African American studies is the only area of academics where you can reliably find black academics. Even then the top positions are filled with white people (like the white male professor who was brought all the way…

I once knew a white girl who, despite her given Scotch-Irish surname, used (and probably still continues to use) her grandmother’s Latin maiden name on all her artist grant applications in order to give herself a perceived leg up as well as to qualify for POC-centered programs for which she’d be otherwise ineligible.…

As someone that is mixed race and just considers myself Black this pisses me off so much. I hate that people can look at me as I am and tell me what ethnicity I am, but these white people can just put on makeup and bad wig and they are suddenly something else. Because I wasn’t really raised knowing about the other…

But Melania speaks 6 languages!

Yeah, horrifying. I would personally not get a vaccine released two days before the election by Trump’s government. Good luck to anyone who goes for it.

I’m done with this year. I ache for a drunk so deep and long that I wake up next February. (kidding) Maybe I can get hypnosis next March to make me forget this year?

The Andrew Lloyd Webber clip makes me hope that once Broadway reopens we’ll all be able to sit down and enjoy WAP: The Musical. It would sure as shit be better than the fucking Jimmy Buffet musical.
