Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Dolezal 2.0: (((Jessica Krug))) Five years ago, somehow, the president of Spokane’s NAACP branch was exposed as a fraud by her own parents. Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal confirmed long-standing rumors about their daughter’s identity to the media. Yes, Rachel Dolezal was white; no, her father was not a Black man; no, she was not born in a tepee; yes, she had long been posing as a Black woman and leaning on a fabricated backstory to prop up her civil-rights career. This is an unhinged and insensitive thing to do but apparently not as uncommon as one might hope. Exhibit B: Jessica A. Krug. Like Dolezal, Krug’s career — as “a decolonial historian of Black political thought and action in West Central Africa and throughout the Americas,” per Cooper Union — rests on a racial identity that does not belong to her. Unlike Dolezal, Krug has admitted to her appropriative scam, outing and “canceling” herself. In a Medium post, published Thursday and entitled “The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies,” Krug admitted that she is, despite appearances she has painstakingly cultivated, a white woman. “To an escalating degree over my adult life,” she wrote, “I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish child in suburban Kansas City under various assumed identities within a Blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US rooted Blackness, then Caribbean rooted Bronx Blackness.” “I am not a culture vulture,” she continued. “I am a culture leech.” Who is Jessica Krug? Krug is an associate professor at George Washington University, where she teaches “politics, ideas, and cultural practices in Africa and the African Diaspora, with a particular interest in West Central Africa and maroon societies in the early modern period and Black transnational cultural studies,” per the university’s website. Hours after the Medium post was published, Crystal L. Nosal, a spokesperson for GW, told the Cut that the university was “looking into the situation.” On Friday morning, BuzzFeed News confirmed that the university has opened an investigation into Krug. Provided the Jessica Krug who wrote the Medium post is the Jessica Krug who’s based her academic career on the study of African and Caribbean cultures, though, she’s also the author of Fugitive Modernities: Kisama and the Politics of Freedom. This book, a study of political movements among people trafficked in the slave trade, was a finalist for the 2020 Frederick Douglass Book Prize (presented by Yale’s Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition) and the 2019 Harriet Tubman Book Prize (presented by the Lapidus Center for the Historical Analysis of Transatlantic Slavery). According to a PDF of the book, published by the Guardian, she received financial support from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture to help fund the project. In her own words, however, Krug is a person who crafted a “false identity … entirely from the fabric of Black lives.” In 2019, when she published an essay in Essence (which has now been removed from the site), she centered herself within the Black cultures she wrote about. Per the Guardian, the acknowledgments for Fugitive Modernities thank: “My ancestors, unknown, unnamed, who bled life into a future they had no reason to believe could or should exist. … Those whose names I cannot say for their own safety, whether in my barrio, in Angola, or in Brazil.” In a cached version of her author bio, excavated by Business Insider reporter Graham Starr on Thursday, she also referred to herself as “an unrepentant and unreformed child of the hood.” Who is “Jess La Bombalera”? Quite possibly another alias for Jessica Krug. On Thursday, writer Robert Jones Jr. alleged that Krug also assumed the name Jess La Bombalera to pose as an activist in the Bronx. “I am in a state of complete and utter shock and sadness,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet on Thursday. “Jess La Bombera [sic], an activist who I often deferred to and stepped aside and gave the mic to on this platform, just revealed that she is a white woman who has been pretending to be Black.” Others have attested to meeting Krug under this name. “I was introduced to her by a colleague who was being honored at the Fredrick [sic] Douglass Book Prize ceremony this yr. She went by ‘Jess La Bombalera’ & said she was Puerto Rican,” writer Ivie Ani tweeted Thursday. “She asked me what part of the Bronx I’m from, I said ‘by Bronx River Houses’ and she said ‘me too’……” La Bombalera also seems to be a known quantity to theoretical physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, who tweeted that “Jess La Bombalera/Jess Krug” had been “awful” to Black women who’d interacted with her. “She questioned our love for and commitment to Black people and Blackness,” she wrote. If Jess La Bombalera and Jessica Krug are in fact the same person, then it appears Krug delivered testimony to the New York City Council in a strange adopted accent as recently as June:........ Poster Comment: It gets more ridiculous from there. This shape-shifting bitch is a walking illustration of how the Chosen will affect any stripe, tribe, banner or color to forward the colors of white genocide. Why is she admitting the crime now, the article asks -- undoubtedly because she's been found out. Another Bing search result: "Jessica Krug once allegedly called neighbor’s friend a ‘stupid white bitch’" I'll say it again -- white genocide is the goal the entire time they're going through all these machinations. Unbelievable! This may seem a silly affair, but it's serious as a heart attack -- the merest glimpse of how they're hoodooing and hoodwinking us from all directions at once. THEY WANT TO KILL US OFF and will do it if we don't watch out. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 1.
