June 16, 201511 yr Didn't Michael Jackson go the white route or was it a skin disease, because he sure changed.
June 16, 201511 yr So for all of you that say she's nuts (and I agree) is Jenner nuts? If he identifies as a woman and is accepted how is that any different then her identifying as black?
June 16, 201511 yr So for all of you that say she's nuts (and I agree) is Jenner nuts? If he identifies as a woman and is accepted how is that any different then her identifying as black? I've got no problem with either. It's up to NAACP if she's right for their position.
June 16, 201511 yr I've got no problem with either. It's up to NAACP if she's right for their position. But what about the bigger picture. In your mind is she now entitled to the protections that come with being black?
June 16, 201511 yr But what about the bigger picture. In your mind is she now entitled to the protections that come with being black? Didn't say that. I said she can feel however she wishes. She's not black.

June 16, 201511 yr But what about the bigger picture. In your mind is she now entitled to the protections that come with being black? What protections? :lol2:
June 16, 201511 yr Affirmative action jumps to mind. Protections against discrimination jump to mind.
June 16, 201511 yr Affirmative action jumps to mind. Protections against discrimination jump to mind. Funny. I missed both of those protections. Some protection. This SPF 15 is providing me more protection than those two that you listed.
June 16, 201511 yr Didn't say that. I said she can feel however she wishes. She's not black. Define 'black'.
June 16, 201511 yr What is the legal definition? That one. Or any other 'accepted' definition that is officially used by the government or other well known institutions.
June 16, 201511 yr The reason for the question is - is there an objective definition? Is there a test? Is there DNA verification? Under what circumstances would a person 'claiming' to be one race but was another be liable for legal damages, or the target of a civil suit if they were awarded something of value (like a college entrance) by claiming to be a race they were apparently not.

Now we're on to something…. I'm guessing the legal definition takes into account your historical family lineage, as defined by, well, your family, in addition to the perceived historic physical features associated with a particular race, such as skin tone, hair types, facial features, etc...

She sued Howard University and claimed she was discriminated against because she was white. Case was dismissed, maybe she thought if you can't beat em, join em!
