I don't understand why she even bothered to spray on high yellow skin color and wear curly hair wigs. People white as she is with no black features have been accepted as "black" for all of NAACP's history.

I'll leave it to other Black posters about what constitutes "blackness".
I'm one of the few posters here that's actually black.

You're Asian and we hold them to high standards, you don't get into Med School! Oh wait, you applied again with the same grades and scores, but this time pretended to be black? You get in to Med School! Liberalism is destroying standards across society.

Sonia Sotomayor is not actually a "woman of color", even though she likes to pretend so. She even fabricated a narrative of being the right choice for SCJ because she's a "wise Latina" and a minority that overcome disadvantage and discrimination that never happened to her. In reality she's just a white lady. She wasn't a "hispanic" minority before she went to college.

Black people embraced the concept, and actually accepted people like them as black.

Walter White was celebrated as the first black president of the NAACP.

The result of that, is now any random obviously white person can just claim to be black and people will take them seriously. People actually believed that Dolezal and this crazy women were black when they bear no resemblance to black people in the slightest.
That’s because of the American one-drop rule. It was forced. It eventually just because accepted. Nothing anyone black could do about it. It seems to be slowly fading. Look at the debate over Kamala Harris...

No one was “black” before slavery and colonialism but here we are. That’s imposed too...

Not all Spanish-speakers were considered white. If they were obviously of African descent, then their experience was different. It depended on what you looked like.

Black people really believed in it and promoted the concept. The first black person to do everything was white as Dolezal. Now anybody can just say that they are black and be taken seriously.

LOL@ really believed in it. Ummm...what could you do about it for hundreds of years? If it was a “black” thing, then Africans would be doing it. They do not. It’s a direct product of slavery and Jim Crow in the U.S.
