True...as long as that race isn’t black.

You gotta be born into this. Can’t transform into it surgically.

It was a nice attempt on her part, although she failed miserably.

Yep, if you can change gender you can change race.

The question is, should people choosing to be black be available to get scholarships, affirmative action, etc that are set up for black people. Is it a form of discrimination to say no if it is a form of discrimination to tell a transgender-female that she cannot compete as a female for a scholarship?

Desertdetroiter, don't be racist.

If you are fine with people changing their race to other races, you should be fine with it for any race. Anyways the races are more similar than people want to admit and I know that at least in the past you are a science denier on the most recent DNA studies, but African-Americans average close to 1/4th white and more whites than many whites realize show some African DNA. For this and other reasons, we are closer alike.

They absolutely should not, and neither should transwomen be able to get affirmative action that is designated for females only, otherwise biological white people and biological males will again be screwing over the oppressed classes.

I agree. As a white man I might be able to change my skin color but I will NEVER be able to dance. My whiteness will come out immediately.

There are white people who are considered black. Skin color is no measure for what race you are today. We are blended so much we can't even know what we are today. This of course is the extreme changing ones skin color so drastically.

Whether the story is true or not....

What's the problem... white people have been trying to "tan" themselves for centuries and decades, getting lip injection, butt implants, wearing their hair to emulate the Afro, or the braids. They have tanning shops all over the place.
White music rock, came from the blues, and one can down a long list if they care to and find ways that black culture elements have been pursued and adopted by white people.

200+ yrs ago, who do people think raised a lot of white kids, who's food did white people eat, steadily white people have been trying to develop dancing to match black dance.... there were countless inventions and creations blacks made that were stolen by whites, a black man is instrumental in the creation of Jack Daniels Whiskey, which many people drink.
People might benefit to learn from looking at the history of black inventions, just a partial list to emphasis a point.... the concept phrase "The Real McCoy" was a black invention....Read of Mark Dean, and thank him for advances in computers. the list is long and cover every field.

White people over a long history simply did all it could to push a negative image of black people, and then anguished it could no longer use people for free and steal the ideas, it became even more belligerent in trying to discredit black people. It still goes on today.
President Obama did amazing things, and we have a ego maniac white man in the whitehouse, who can't digest that the black man was not only smarter than he is, he had humane concerns that make Trump look like the moronic imbecile he is, and everything he tries to do to wipe away Obama's Legacy, he only makes it all the more profound. When the tail winds of Obama's economic work tapers off due to the imbecilic mentality of Trump, America will find itself with an economic devastation it never imagined. It's already in less than 10 months, seeing a Global Devastation to Diplomacy and a Escalation toward war, when Obama made it a mission to get us out of War, and would not listen to the white men who tried to push us into engaging in multiple more wars. We saw what "white men do" with the "Let's Kill A Mass of People Health Care Attempts".
Now, one behind the next, Trumps white men are falling off the log for every kind of ethical and humane insult one can imagine, just this week, one resigns, for following the historical mentality of white men, "impregnating women" and then trying to deny it, while pushing public anti abortion, and asking a woman he has engaged infidelity with to have an abortion. That is nothing new, its historical habit that has lasted for Centuries. Rape was a nightly habit for 100's of years with no concept of humaneness and then had the audacity to strut around publicly in denial of the illegitimate babies he made, and then was so vile that he enslaved his own babies for 100's of years. He lied and had his wives lying trying to save public face, while he continued to rape anyone that walked that was black, as much homosexuality and child molestation that exist in white society, he was as well raping black men as well as raping children for all those 100's of years.
Then had the audacity to write out a history book full of lies and denials and omissions, trying to push an image that his character cannot support.

True History has more than the average white conservative can stomach, so they go in denial, more liberal people actually search to learn the real truths...

As with other threads that address some of these controversy, this thread will probably disappear too.
