What sounds absurd at first actually happened in America. A fair-skinned teacher has been posing as a black woman for years. Now Jessica Krug has admitted to cheating on people throughout her college career.
The 38-year-old has been a professor of African-American history at George Washington University since 2012 and an activist for “Black Lives Matter.”
For years he hid behind false identities. She claimed to be a North African, then an American, and more recently from the Bronx, New York, a black woman with Caribbean roots.
White Jew from Kansas City
On Thursday she released the secret in a post titled “The Truth and Violence Against Blacks From My Lies”: Actually, I was a white Jewess who grew up in Kansas City.
“My repeated appropriation of a black Caribbean identity is not only wrong in the worst sense – unethical, immoral, anti-black, colonialist – I have also manipulated the people I love.”
Krug admits that he had mental health issues and was too cowardly to end the motion sickness long before. “I lied with every breath.” He couldn’t explain why he was pretending to be black.
“Cultural leech”
You have not led a double life, write. “There is no parallel form of my adulthood that is associated with white people, a white community, or an alternative white identity. I lived this lie, completely, without an exit plan or strategy. “The woman describes herself as a” cultural leech. “
He has never developed another identity and now has to figure out how to be “a person who I don’t think should exist.”
She broke all the bridges behind her and did not expect her relationships to be “fire resistant”. “I would never ask for forgiveness or expect it.” People should erase them from their lives.
Uni is examining the consequences
Now she is harshly criticizing those around her. You decided to take this step because it had already been published and not because of moral concerns, writes a former friend on Twitter.
It is not yet clear whether she will lose her teaching position and what other consequences her behavior will have. Currently, the educational institution is reviewing the next steps.
Krug’s Fall recalls the story of Rachel Dolezal. The light-skinned blonde with German and Czech roots had also pretended to be black. Until her parents whistled her in June 2015. (male)
