The Heights of Privileges: White, Light, and LightSkinned Female



http://financialjuneteenth.com/woman-accused-of-pretending-to-be-black-in-order-to-get-a-job/

the height of white privilege:
to be black when you are as white as the driven snow,
no modern mix of any african or strained brown
and yes, we accept and know and agree Lucy
and if not her, we know africa as the source of all you human specie
the one race, human

nevertheless, the story is intriguing
first of all, someone needs to make a pictographic of the history of all the national, regional and state naacp heads. there might be a story that is long as its creation to tell. or see. nothing new. this is just the height and privilege of a value system

then this is also poignant for the black african american historic joke that "no white person would ever choose to become black and live that life in the KKKamerika
and here it is. chris rock has the most often touted commentary on it. but plenty have played on that former reality.

so the question becomes: when and why and how did that change

we have an interesting conundrum here, just like how racist white and other people will say black people are being racist, which is a blatant lie, to be racist means you require power to affect other's lives, experiences and opportunities, so black people can be biased, prejudiced and in preference but with no power, impossible to be racist. so too are those who want to say she is passing. to say so means you have been lost to the truth. passing was done and mentioned and refers to those who are african and have enough lightening to appear white, and so pass into the dominant paradigm. no one passes into the subjugated realm. we actually had systems structured to block and ban such alliances.  where poor whites were separated from former slaves and poor black people. creating again, a divide and rule, lest people really wake up to see all these mechanisms are to keep workers and the poor from uniting

the other thing that i am now just acknowledging in a holistic fashion: the uniform likeness of germans to appear mixed...their strain, i have always seen it, their color always a natural burnished bronze, this chick too shows it. she reminds me of the girlfriend of my elder cousin who was my driver and chaperone during middle school in nyc. she was from the midwest, and i always felt she looked, 'odd'./ white but not. and now i see it/ remember it..she too was of germanic background, and much of the US and predominantly the midwest US, is.

but what does it mean when everything is turned on its head. this article is the best spin...the perspective that she played white to get a job. I can only agree if i know her full life and history. the irony and twist. is the unemployment story so bad that white people are playing black to get a job? cause black people's own organizations wont hire, choose, pick and employ their own, black africans? makes me think of the pnm in trinidad.  who do they choose to represent their so-called stated intrest of 'black people'. one myth propagated even as the populace watches the consistency in which they are overlooked, ignored and marginalized as if they do not exist, fade to black dark, no inclusion in sight.

i touched on it before but the height of white privilege. the height of light skin privilege. the height of white light skin female privilege.

it is lovely, it is rich. the stories to excavate. the themes to engage. and i writing this and I have yet to open and read one article. just seeing the depictions and snatches of the story since yesterday.

the farce of so much peeled back and exposed: who do we get and accept to represent us? our interests. it is proof perhaps, a suggestion that we have no guards, zero precepts, no policy, no standards, and very wishy washy at best, our mission and mandate. it all speaks to our politics, or lack thereof, in our varied dimensions, identities, and direction.

 
another angle on this dolezal story.
here in the caribbean
people are so deceitful
white people with black strain chirren
meaning the father is as black even if called brown or red -- man african as he could be....they feign under this we rainbow nation, no color designation, mark no spot.. identify not. negation is their tactic to never have to name the genetic hybridization back to africa, no. not after all these years of privilege reckless.
cause they will bawl blood if their white constructs and life had to be impeded in any way of being called nigger, negro, african, colored.
the plantation aint no ways tired
the blocks keep moving, for their betterment and outcomes
the white chirren ehnt all white.
but they could pass, and pass they will, as long as we tick no color.
bwaahahahaa...
