It’s an interesting point
Also this thread is not about any specific ethnicity or skin Color.
But to take this on a more general perspective.




Thoughts?

Above the fray.
I think people should have forced an apology AND retraction from Rachel Dolezal. Any convo about transracialism stems from her antics.

You have to call out behavior and comments whether the person is on your "side" politically or not.

She is no parts Black.

the idea in and of it's self is racist.

because blackness is not a behavior, or a mentality or even a culture you can identify with. It's just the result of having genetics passed to you from black parents.

When you say you identify as black what does that mean? you like dressing black? Talking black?, black people come in all cultures and flavors.

If this was the case, anybody who was adopted would essentially be the race of their adopted parents since they grew up immersed in and identify with the culture of their parents.

Yes this is well said!
And the logic applies to all skin Colors as well

This is the same problem with transgenders. Male and female are more than social norms and aesthetics. Even moreso than race, given that race is on shaky genetic ground.

Smart dumb niqqa logic

•Sex =/= Gender
• Sex is Biological
• Gender is an identity that may or may not coincide with one’s sex
•There’s implicative subtext about gender roles that are strictly reproductive having connections to gender roles and performance of gender in society.
•Conflating the two suggests societal roles are biological.
• He made an argument for people to be transmixed :mindblown:
:obama: or :heh: being mixed and identifying as one race or another isn’t transracialism.
• If you acknowledge a spectrum in reference to race or gender you are making an argument for gender or racial fluidity not transgenderism or transracialism.
