Guys, seriously, Michelle Wolf is not Black, but the white tears about her WHCD speech are delicious

[sheshe2]

We get it. Michelle Wolf’s skin is what you might call “olive,” her hair is a cloud of curls, and she talks about Donald Trump from a reasonable, critical, intelligent perspective.

How is she not a Black woman?

She really does have the complexion and hair texture of people I know in my life who are in fact biracial, but unless you know something she doesn’t about her gene pool, we must accept that she’s not Black. She’s white, y’all!

It’s an odd thing. Normally it’s mixed race people who “pass” for white intentionally or not because white folks are generally really, really bad at detecting that “one drop” of Blackness. Meanwhile, us Black folks know a sista/brotha when we see one. Usually.

This time, both Black and white people are confused about what Wolf has going on in her DNA.

Wolf has also gotten some heavyweight co-signs from folks like Dave Chappelle. (By the way, we stick by our contention that we’ll take Wolf in the next racial draft.)

Chappelle: “I don’t know who those people think they are that she (@michelleisawolf) can’t say that to them, cause they offend people all the time. & I think that for many people … it’s cathartic to watch that woman speak truth to power like that

Racist? WTF are you talking about? You think Michelle Wolf is black don’t you. And that simply because she criticized Trump and Sanders (with no reference to race whatsoever), she’s racist.

Michelle Wolf is white. And you’re a moron.

She spoke truth to power. Some peeps are having a hard time with that. Sad. Oh the outrage...and she is white.

Oy.

3. MW and Trevor Noah did a funny piece on her "racially ambiguous" appearance

months ago on the "Daily Show", when she was a regular there. Guess the alt-righties missed that one!

Thanks me.

6. Good Read with Oprah

Q: You've talked about how people have assumed you're African American even though you're white—do you get that a lot?

A: I didn't until I moved to New York. I think it was actually a pickup line once. But even now on some of my Instagram posts, people will ask, "Are you black or white?"

Q: Do you feel awkward about answering?

A: The more we're open to talking about race, the better. A lot of white people shy away from discussing it, but we need to. I think a lot of us are just ignorant, and sometimes there's no other way to learn than by putting your own foot in your mouth.

Thanks for the interview, luna.

Perfect.
