I& #39;m so pissed.

She has tenure for doing Black studies work at George Washington U. She once had the audacity to call *me* a fraud. And bc of her, others will be suspicious of folks who look like me. And of Black studies. And ppl who vouched for her. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’©" title="Dreckshaufen" aria-label="Emoji: Dreckshaufen"> https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85">https://medium.com/@jessakru...
Her deception hinged especially on coopting North African/Jewish and Afro-Latinx identities. So gross.
Our Black identities aren& #39;t a costume, a thing to dabble in, a thing to put on, a thing to pay in, a thing to kill, a thing to steal, a thing to abuse . . . none of that. Our Black identities belong to us as people. Sigh.
I want to be clear that no one who vouched for her or believed her is at fault. This is entirely on her.
I also don& #39;t want her to be harmed or to lose her ability to eat or have health care. That& #39;s not justice.
Advocating for being suspicious of light skinned people is not the right take away here, at all
