Can you be Trans-black?

[thekingsmen]

MSNBC and social media are trying to convince the audience that Black skin can transcend to bodies of white people. This sparked after the NAACP leader claimed she was black when she was exposed as white. Social media even posted #transblack #wrongskin . Liberals who support this crap need to be slapped.

I can relate to this woman in a way, but I'd say that being trans-black is impossible.

When I was a young kid, I thought of myself as an African American because I had a black parent. As I grew up, I began to realize that nobody else saw me as part of the black community (based purely on my own physical appearance), and my self-identity didn't match up with society's imposed identity. My reaction was to accept society's imposed identity, and I more-or-less rejected my early self-image as a person of black American heritage.

I will never be a black person ever, no matter how entrenched I was in black culture at my home or amongst my extended family, or even because I can trace ancestry to west African. Rachel may find home in black culture, but culture is meaningless. Race is based on phenotypes and phenotypes alone. Unlike transgender, the underlying phsiologically structure of race is too complicated and prominent to be convincingly altered by plastic surgery.

Recently, I tried to join a black professional network to help people reach their goals like I have. The shifting and questing eyes, the nervous greetings and untrusting gestures really made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. It is clear that I am not part of that tribe, but that is okay. I have to accept who I am, and Rachel must accept who she is as a white women.

Race is not a social contract. It is based on biology. It is clear that the social construct theory is being challenged by Rachel.

Well there are some posters like the OP who have managed to be trans-cac so I guess it's possible.

Yes 88m3 is almost half way there because he talks like a 70's liberal cac who just finished smoking pot and has support from his australian tranny.

@Melbournelad i knew you supported this type of fukkery because real issues dealing with black folks on here have been avoided by you and posters like you. Next there will be a person claiming to be a black male lesbian who is white who wants to be identified as a Vietnamese transgender who is straight.

support blurring the lines, brehs.

Thank you for your post. However your situation was much different than Rachel's. She wasn't raised by black folks and it was only in her adult life she started taking that role on.

I can't relate to her at all because I have never wanted to be anything other than what I am. I am mixed race, was raised by my white dad and black mother in one of the grimiest hoods on the East coast and never felt any kind of way but comfortable around my black friends, family and community. I have been part of black organizations and never felt like an outsider or unwelcomed. Black folks are my tribe and I have never had any instances where I felt differently.

This chick in Spokane is just a confused woman with some underlying mental issues that are much deeper than her wanting to be considered black.

And to answer the OP's question...no one can be "trans-black" because there is no such thing. Trans-black is just a stupid PC buzzword that has as much meaning as the incoherent babbling of an infant.

You're actually white or did you forget that you lunatic? You're essentially an online version of Rachel, see you on the podcast, chump.

MHP shouldn't have even given her the platform
"Transracial" is really nothing but a term coined by trolls I think on Tumblr to fukk with Black leftists.
There's some discussion to be had on proper allyship & the erasure of Black feminine voices within a liberation movement, but for the most part this shyt needs to die.
