Part of me wonders.. if all of this media backlash against professor #Rachel #Dolezal. Has to do with an underline disgruntlement with #whitewomen publicly celebrating/supporting Black Culture in 2015?
For example: #iggyazalea, #mileycyrus, #arianagrande , #kyliejenner , #kimkardashian are arguably the most visible/influential - women/white women in American pop culture today.
All of the women I've listed - have openly either embraced black culture in terms of persona and attitude or have an #african-#american man as a significant other.
Have you ever heard of the "Racial Integrity Act" of 1924?
- The "#Racial #Integrity #Act" required that a racial description of every American citizen be recorded at birth and divided society into only two classifications: white and colored (essentially all other, which include American Indians). It defined race by the "one-drop rule", defining as "colored" persons with any African or Native American ancestry. It also expanded the scope of Virginia's ban on interracial marriage (anti-miscegenation law) by criminalizing all marriages between white persons and non-white persons. In 1967 the law was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in its ruling on Loving v. #Virginia.
Even though we do have #barackobama as the leader of America - a predominantly white country. I still wonder are there still undertones of past "racist colonialist ideology" being played out subliminally n American media? Is professor Rachel Dolezal, be publicly shamed for being a white woman, lovin #blackness ?
