Jessica Krug is a white woman, who has been lying for years about Blackness, including saying she's AfroLatina - gaining her social currency, book deals, and tenure in Black studies. all the jobs, grants, space she has stolen from Black women sickens me. https://medium.com/@jessakrug/the-truth-and-the-anti-black-violence-of-my-lies-9a9621401f85

y'all want to be Black SO BAD. without having to deal with the lived experience and reality and trauma and cosmic weight of Blackness day in and day out. Black women in academia, and all the folks who have been hurt by her really deserve to grieve and experience their anger.

also, I'm just gonna say it. it's not lost on me that part of the reason non-Black people of color and full on white women can cycle in and out of "nebulous Black Latina" identity in this was is because she looks exactly how y'all want your AfroLatinas to look. that's the gag.
