Reflections From a Murky Pond

Ain’t Jemima – New, Improved, Transracial

Somehow I’m doubting that this is one of Amandla Stenberg’s favorite breakfasts. Then again, I could be wrong. Stenberg may like “cultural appropriation” when the person doing it is working to secure special privileges and protections for the Blacks.

Still, I don’t Ain’t Jemima would sell well in the Hood. Given their bucks’ proclivities, it do better if they kept Dolezol’s blonde hair, blue eyes, and pale white skin. Then they’d be more than happy to serve it up with sausage and scramble some eggs. 😉

One of the current tempests in a teapot is the fact that the president of the Spokane, WA, chapter of the NAACP, Rachel Dolezal is a White woman who has been “passing” herself off as a Black. She even went so far in her voluntary Blackification as to pass off a Black as her father at a NAACP event memorializing Martin Luther King Jr..

Blackification – There’s No Coming Back

While there are some real issues with Dolezal’s false claim of being a Black, such as the fact that her fraudulent racial claims may have some bearing upon her being hired as a professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University and sitting on Spokane’s police “oversight” commission, this is mostly just a waste of attention and outrage.

Black is a culture, not a race, and Dolezal has been Blacked repeated and went Black. At most, one could claim it was an extreme example of cultural appropriation brought on some twisted form of body dysmorphic disorder and oikophobia.

It’s not as if the Blacks, who would normally be considered the victims of Dolezal actions, are actually bothered by this. As long as Dolezal is trying to get them more privileges, special protections, and White people’s money, the Blacks aren’t going to care how she portrays herself.
