She consistently trashed WOC and questioned their scholarship. She even described my colleague Marisa Fuentes as a "slave catcher" in the introduction to her book. Kind of amazing how white supremacy means she even thought she was better at being a person of color than we were.
That pathology remains evident in her mea culpa article. Somehow she manages to remain ultra woke and strident, still on her political moral high horse, caling for white scholars to be cancelled --in this instance her own white self.
She says she doesn't know what accountability looks like—well, clearly, she needs to quit her job (a job that if I am not mistaken was a diversity hire) since no scholar can be respected when they engage in this kind of fraud.
Second, she needs to start a fellowship fund for afro latina scholars, and fund it with at least as much money as she obtained through her lies.
Third, she needs to stop with the Dolezal-splaining about how wrong her actions and philosophizing about her punishment. I'm not investing a single drop of energy punishing her— esp not in the middle of a pandemic. Instead, I will recommit to radical self/community care. #bye
