She's punishing her mother for lying to her about her father's race. She may identify as ethnically white. But she is racially black--that is a biological fact.
Artitst that is killilng their once fruitful career more than Morrissey?
Oh you're going down the whole 'gender is a social construct route.' I don't pay any attention to that jibber jabber. there are two genders, period. of course you have odd natural anomaly such hermaphrodites but they are a rare statistically speaking. But let me guess you belong in the whole 'gender is a spectrum camp?' well if there are a 1001 genders and gender isa spectrum then in effect there are 6 billion different genders as v=everyone is different, right? And what do you get from that, nutters such as a trans woman wanting getting smear test even when they don't have a cervix (duh!) just for the 'feelz.'
Now 'race' is an anthropological concept? Again go to any doctor and ask them about different races suffering different types of disease, diabetes, being prone to obesity etc. Well you can tell them, 'no need to check this race for diabetes because it's all a construct!' Genius.
No need for you to guess what I might believe. It's irrelevant.Oh you're going down the whole 'gender is a social construct route.'

While her motivation for her behavior could be in part attributable to the cause you suggest I think that fails to explain the entirety. I think it's partly psychology but there is some sociology involved as well. She seems to have a genuine issue with "Negros" and even if her problem with her mother is the central issue there is a wider basis for the way she chooses to express it. She isn't just focused on her mother's lies and her issues with her identity wouldn't be possible if she weren't living in a society with a rich history of racism.She's punishing her mother for lying to her about her father's race.

Race as theory in the same way evolution is a theory. Both are considered to be true until proven otherwise. Kind of like things we consider to be facts.While her motivation for her behavior could be in part attributable to the cause you suggest I think that fails to explain the entirety.

As far as her being "racially black" I'm sorry but that's not a "fact." It would be more accurate to talk about her appearance and features as being statistically more prevalent among those who identify as "black."
Yes, you or I living in racist America are going to categorize this young lady as "black" as we have been taught to do. I'm not denying that. The entire reason she is on Dr Phil isn't because she hates her mother or because she is suffering some sort of dysmorphia but mostly because her particular way of expressing her issue is guaranteed to upset or amuse almost everyone in his audience. She's making racist comments that he wouldn't even air if he perceived her as "white."
But you're being very loose with the word "fact." Race is theory, not fact.

You use a lot of words here but are not really saying much. I did not equate race with gender. If you reread my post you will see that I said race is equivalent to sex. And gender is equivalent to ethnicity.You believe a theory is a fact until proven otherwise? While that is the way most people operate on their assumptions very few will actually admit it.
And you're making the same mistake as Bhops does when you equate two unrelated and complex concepts. In his case it was gender and race and now you have added the idea of evolution into the mix.
Evolution is very different than race. While there are problems with both there is a well documented history of the use of the concept of race being used to definenest-egg strata of humans and justify things like slavery.
On the other hand maybe all these things are the same and Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner was just her evolving.
Maybe to wacko Marxist social scientists but not to me. This is the type of craziness that Jordan Peterson has spoken so eloquently about.Sex and race are biological characteristics. Gender and ethnicity are the cultural markers assigned to each sex and race.
I’m assuming you are the sort of person who believes Charles Murray should be burned at the stake. So there is no such thing as race only social groups? No differences in build, susceptibility to certain diseases, differences in IQ? Riiiiigggghtttt.No need for you to guess what I might believe. It's irrelevant.
Race is an anthropological concept. You might want to read about the history of colonialism and imperialism. The concept of race was used as if it literally meant "species" or "subspecies." The British Empire, for one, justified racism by assigning attributes to races.
Your argument is degenerating into hysteria. I'm not sure what "feelz" are or what they have to do with the facts but surely you must have heard that "correlation is not causation."
Yes, groups of people who are apparently unrelated can show statistically significant similarities. Is this because of "race?" When did this "race" come into existence? How many races do you believe exist? Did they come into existence spontaneously at different times? Was there one "race" at one time which then divided?
It's true that some diseases do seem more prevalent in certain social groups but to make your case you're going to have to first stop being so hysterical (look it up for a laugh) and try your best to write in English.

I will add, you are confusing race with racism. These are two different concepts. One is based in biology: race. The other is a social set of behaviors and attitudes regarding race which may or may not lead to discrimination: racism. Similarly, sexism is a set of beliefs and attitudes regarding sex. Just because people have attitudes and beliefs about sex and race doesn’t mean that those two things don’t exist biologically. They do.
A theory is the best we can do to frame and describe our world around us based on evidence and scientific research which has stood the test of time. The ideas or assumptions are considered facts until proven otherwise. So to claim race is a theory is the same as claiming evolution is a theory. They both hold water. Lots of water.
If not for Bhops this thread and probably the entire website would be out of control. We have a time before emotions ruled and one when emotions rule and that time is now. Emotions can lead people astray and make them fall in love with the wrong person and end up a single parent.
Knowledge and facts are of no interest to young generations hellbent on throwing the baby our with the bath water cause they just don't feel it.
You are reading the God's honest truth. When you mature you will see yourself now as beneath a coconut in intelligence and realise it was because you never at any point used your brain.I'm sure Bhops welcomes your support.

Lefties without arguments pumped on emotions describes the demise of the world and it needs to stop now. Mind terrorists are a bigger problem than physical terrorists.
