Invisible blackface
Sep 04, 2020
Jessica Krug, 38, revealed on Thursday in a bombshell Medium post that she has lied about being black her entire career and admitted to deceiving her friends and colleagues.
She said in the blog post - titled 'The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies' -that she is white, Jewish and was raised in Kansas City. 'For the better part of my adult life, every move I've made, every relationship I've formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies,' she wrote.
She gave up her (((White))) Privilege to be one of the oppressed. So brave.
Isn't it strange that non-White people don't pretend to be White. One would think that there would be, at least, dozens of such stories. Odd that nobody is interested in that sweet sweet White "privilege"?
Anyway, it all reminds me of this story:
Vijay Chokal-Ingam, brother of "The Mindy Project" actress Mindy Kaling, stirred up controversy when he revealed that he pretended to be black to get into medical school.
He could write a book titled, Vijay to Jojo: How I Embraced My Inner Negro.
