This lily white blonde chick from the south has abandoned her identity and assumed a new identity as a mixed race black woman from Idaho. She has advanced degrees in every black cultural study you can imagine, and is the president of the Spokane NAACP. She has changed her physical appearance so that she looks black.


It is not a requirement for leadership in the NAACP to be any particular race. There is no race requirement for admission into advanced degree programs for African American studies. So why would she do this?


I'm going to armchair psychiatrist this one... Borderline Personality Disorder?


Also, is transracial a thing?

I dont think there is anything psychologically wrong with someone wanting to be another race or living their life as another race.

But..if its done for profit and gain, it may qualify as Antisocial Personality

But she has to meet several criteria to be diagnosed with BPD

Unless she truly believes she is black..with an explanation that is viable..it wont be delusional (i.e. her great ancestors were black)

ASPD:
Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest

Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure

Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead

Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults

Reckless disregard for safety of self or others

Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations

Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

she is not from the south though, I saw montana, idaho and now washington state

but no slappy this girl is crazy, this is not eminem deciding to "act black" and only listen to rap music

she no longer talks to her parents
she posted a picture of a black man as her "father" on social media
she posted a picture of her frizzy hair on social media and complained/bragged about "just going natural"
she has made up imaginary "hate crimes" against black people that she is the victim of
when asked if she is black she either runs away or gives some "umm, its complicated" type answer
she posted some long winded thing about how to watch 12 years a slave as a black person

advocating for the naacp as a white person is something that happens every single day, but this woman has completely fabricated her life story to include being born in a teepee and living off the land hunting with bows and arrows and telling people that her adopted black brother was actually her son

she is batshit or a psychopath

also, she has leveraged her "blackness" for financial gain by getting onto some police advisory board or some such nonsense

Is that Mr. Sulu?

iep..I didnt read the entire link, just most of it.

So she concocted an entire life/persona based on lies or taken a fantasy too far?

She seems like she is enamoured or identifies with the black culture

but thats similar to saying a transexual is delusional and has mental problems (i.e. Bruce Jenner)

This story is so damn stupid, I really dont care. Even stupider, is that black people cannot tell she is white.

My only interest in the story is what Ogre asked, is she mentally ill?

I guess..in one sense could say she is having an identitty crises, the same type that teens go through, when they just dont know who they are, and trying to find this out and "fit in"

On the other hand, its a shattered identity crises, where the self identity is completely disconnected from reality (i.e. belieiving you are god, hitler, budda, black, etc)

or like Talented Mr. Ripley..where he changes his identity, to fit the situation for gain (a manipulative chameleon)

If she is white, and truly believes she is black..she may have a mental disorder

If she is white, but playing a ruse..she is a social deviant

I woke up today and identified myself as a black man

then I reindentified as white and wrote myself a check for reparations

consider my ledger motherfucking balanced and the only black guy I owe anything too are tron for me being racist online and chad the black kid I choked out this morning which is a rematch

I have the same affliction as her, I am black from the waist down
