NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Unless your parents were lying to you.

It's like the frigging Skrull Invasion, man. Trust nobody, maybe not even yourself.

But for real though, I can't get over how deep she went in. She perfected the look, disguised her heritage, and apparently might have created false threats. It's like she wanted to experience everything in what it is to be black. Everything. A shame. She seems quite dedicated and all, but straight up lies like that are just unacceptable.
 
I'm not even sure if I should be outraged at this. I don't think there was any racist attempt, it's just so bizarre and strange for someone to be doing.
 
I refuse that such a perfect story could be true, it's impossible. It must be some sort of incredible stealth marketing for some sort of movie or TV show, or at least some sort of social experiment. There is no way, on Earth, that all of this could possibly be real. The insanity of it all is just too perfect. Right, RIGHT?
 
I feel sad for this woman because she obviously wants to do good things and either relates more to another ethnic background or is ashamed of hers. But nevermind that. Sure it's inappropriate that she lied on declarations or whatever, yet this makes me think of a larger issue in society in general.

Here we have a white woman who adopted 4 black kids, fights for black civil rights, and wants so bad to portray herself as a black person she even lies about it and alters her appearance and background to fit in. When exposed, most of the backlash is "wow she's crazy", "whoa what", "is this the onion", etc. Yet there are tons of minorities in the world who actively try to make themselves more white, and most people wouldn't bat an eyelid. It's "understandable", especially in entertainment circles, and the Asian trend of lightening your skin to appeal more "internationally" is generally accepted. People changing their names to be more "normal" (White American) and to draw less attention is also something which people don't consider to be deceitful or crazy.

Isn't all that kinda sad? Many societies view being white as some sort of ideal or norm, and the attitudes towards the concept of race is skewed that way. If non-whites want to try to be more white, that's kinda okay, but if whites want to be other races, damn there's something wrong there. Right?

Here's a thought: If we start to accept white people wanting to become black, maybe cops who are so trigger happy when dealing with unarmed black people will think twice. If they don't know if the black people they see are really black or whether they could be the son or daughter or cousin or whatever of someone they might know who's just -pretending- to be black? Okay, that's a ridiculous thought, but that's how ridiculous I think society is today with regards to racial matters. :(
 
This is just so fucking weird. It's not really anything all that bad, but just what the fuck. Rap song kinda songs like Love Below-era Andre.
 
This might be the weirdest thing I've ever seen. The story, that interview, these songs

This has to be viral marketing for a Boondocks live action movie or something.
 
My last dig at her because, she is clearly not right in the head (and I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for her):

This woman went deep deep undercover.

There's method acting and then there's this woman. We're not even on the same plane of existence with this woman.
