Things just couldn’t be more upside down! Or could they? The attempt at normalizing the craziness that has invaded the culture, just in the last few weeks, has hit an all time high. And of all people, Jon Stewart, reaches out with a little common sense.
Dolezal, the former NAACP chief of Spokane, Washington, ignited a firestorm after revelations that she spent years living as a black woman despite being born to white parents of Czech, Swedish and German descent. It was a mix Stewart bluntly called “really fucking white.”
Stewart, who also said Dolezal’s case was a “singular incident,” took the media to task for shoving her story into the predictable 24-hour news cycle which Stewart described as the “Benghazi Obamaphone culture war dog whistle who-gives-a-fuck-a-thon.” To a montage featuring a parade of Fox News columnists offering sweeping generalizations and proclaiming how the case showed racism must be over, Stewart offered the perfect response.
She could have done all this as a white woman:
In a few brief minutes, Stewart and his team hit numerous points about Dolezal and of blackness in America that few others have been able to put as succinctly. Any claim that racism is dead because a single white woman wanted to be black is easily refuted by the facts. Black people earn less money than whites; they have more student debt and lower levels of wealth.
While it is admirable that Dolezal wanted to help black people, she could have easily done it as a white woman. For Dolezal, choosing to be black was itself a function of racial privilege that would never allow, say, Williams to pretend that she was white.
