208528, your motivation is very clear, your agenda... we still waiting Posted by akon, Thu Jun-18-15 02:23 AM
you are clearly dismissive of the social, cultural and historical context that makes up the black identity, distilling it down to a notion of a 'fluid' identity i.e being black is only a state of mind that is divorced from the social and political reality of what it means to be black in this country
so we can choose to ignore what gives this social construct its material meaning, it just becomes a 'feeling' as is the case of rachel
which is not the actual reality- the only people for whom this fluidity seems to be available is white folks most black people - even when they do want to acknowledge their white identity are considered black. there's nothing like a self-identity when it is subsumed by societal perspectives
this is different from those in this post here who's agenda is mainly to discredit the transgender experience and this difference is what blkprince alludes to so i still ask, what is *your* agenda?
