African American history teacher admits she has been pretending to be black her entire career

An American teacher shockingly admitted that she is white after lying about her nationality for years.

Jessica Krug, a professor at George Washington University, confessed that she lied throughout her career in a blog post titled The Truth and Violence Against Blacks from My Lies.

In it, she revealed that she is white, Jewish, and grew up in Kansas City.

“For most of my adult life, every move I have made, every relationship I have formed, has been rooted in the toxic soil of the napalm of lies,” he wrote.

“To an increasing degree throughout my adult life, I have avoided my lived experience as a white Jewish child in the Kansas City suburbs under various assumed identities within a blackness that I had no right to claim: first the blackness of the North Africa, then the blackness of American roots, then the blackness of the Bronx with Caribbean roots. “

By describing herself as a “cultural leech” and a “coward,” Krug acknowledged that it would be unlikely that she could repair any relationships.

“I have thought about ending these lies many times over many years, but my cowardice was always more powerful than my ethics.

“I know right from wrong. I know history. I know power. I am a coward. There is no ignorance, no innocence, nothing to claim, nothing to defend. I have moved wrong in every way for years.

“You should absolutely cancel me, and I absolutely cancel.

“I have built my life on a violent anti-black lie, and I have lied with every breath I have taken.

“I have not lived a double life. There is no parallel form of my adulthood related to white people or a white community or an alternate white identity. I have lived this lie, totally, completely, without an exit plan or strategy.

“I have only built this life, a life within which I have operated with a radical sense of ethics, good and evil, and with anger, rooted in black power, an ideology that everyone should support, but to the that I have no possible claim as mine. “

Krug said in the blog post that she battled “untreated mental health demons” her entire life and assumed a false identity as a child.

“When I was a teenager fleeing trauma, I could just run away to a new place and become a new person. But this is not a trauma that someone imposed on me, it is a damage that I have caused to so many others. where to run. I ended the life I had no right to live in the first place, “he said.

“No white person, no non-black person, has the right to claim proximity or belonging to a black community by virtue of abuse, trauma, non-acceptance and non-belonging in a white community. Abuse within and alienation from my family Biological and society are not a burden to anyone, but mine and only mine to address.

“Blacks and black communities do not have an obligation to house the garbage of non-black societies. I have done this. I know it is wrong and I have done it anyway.”

Since the confession, Krug has faced much criticism on Twitter from various African-American academics with whom he came into contact during his career.

Krug began teaching African American history classes at George Washington University in 2012.

His biography page on the university’s website indicates that he also specializes in Latin America, Africa, imperialism, and colonialism.

Krug has written several essays and books on black culture, but after his confession some media that published his work removed its content.
