No. Being raised in a culture is totally different from cosplaying as that culture during your adult life. And many black and Latino folks on Twitter are calling her out on Twitter as obviously inauthentic. But white people control the academy, and people probably gave her the benefit of the doubt.

This article is problematic in some ways, but it does make that point well about feigning a cultural identity.

The thing is, she IS the mob. Just reading some quotes from that article, shaming white people for not giving up their seats to POC who were waiting to see her at a book talk.

Also, there are like 1000 "think pieces" on the internet about how you cannot assume a racial identity for a variety of reasons. Obviously it can be argued otherwise, but be careful saying this out loud or the woke police will come at you.

You are suggesting he planned for this years ago? Or that he manufactured the years of evidence? Have you checked for aliens in your attic?


I have zero evidence he has any involvement. But yes, he is capable of pulling off a multiple year con job. He hires conservative activists to infiltrate progressive organizations and Dem campaigns all the time. Do you know that James O’Keefe’s organization takes in $10-20m per year of dark money donations from conservative mega donors? He has the means to pull this off.

I’d like to hear more from Jessica Krug. Somehow she was able to hide her true origin story and get around background checks. Something isn’t adding up and that’s why I’m inclined to think that something more nefarious is happening. Her case hits all the conservative talking points about race, identity, academia, etc. This case is almost custom made to dominate conservative news cycle for a month; it’s an intersection of every conservative grievance, It all seems too convenient.


yeah, a friend of a friend grew up with her and basically asked this question on facebook. I'm curious what the response will be....

DP but what do you think background checks do?? They don’t go check parental race to find any discrepancy.


She claims to be a NY’er from the hood, but she’s actually a Jewish woman from Kansas. How the f#ck is that not flagged in a background check? Her origin story would’ve been caught in a legit background check.

Like I said, something else is happening here.

Also none of this obviated the fact that “Jessica Krug” is deeply mentally ill. Do we even know if that’s her real name?

On Twitter, Yarimar Bonilla (an academic who was her colleague briefly) said that her current tenured position was a diversity hire. She’s also held fellowships earmarked for POC. So she has definitely benefited from her lie.


Sorry, forgot to link Bonilla’s tweet: https://twitter.com/yarimarbonilla/status/1301610207353634816?s=21


I do have to laugh at her pretending it wasn’t a bunch of catty gossip come to a head. No no an enterprising “junior scholar” just happened to solve the mystery.

Come on you can do better. If you're going with insane theories at least blame Putin.

If people can think there's been a cosmic mistake that makes them a woman in a man's body or a man in a woman's body, why can't someone white say they are a black person in a white person's body? I thought Rachel Dolezal made perfect sense as an AA person, more than as a white woman.

It certainly has the smell and texture of a cheap distraction to try and shift the energy of all the discourse around race.
