<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I mean at this point, we shouldn’t be surprised by anything 2020 throws at us. A white Jewish professor who has posed as a Black woman for years is finally revealing her truth and I feel like I’m experiencing deja vu.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jessica Krug, an associate professor at George Washington University, admitted today she is a white Jewish woman after publicly living as a Black/Afro-Latina/Afro-Carribean woman for years, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/09/03/african-historian-jessica-krug-admits-shes-lied-about-being-black/">New York Post</a> reports. “For the better part of my adult life, every move I’ve made, every relationship I’ve formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies,” Krug wrote in a “Medium” post titled “The Truth, and the Anti-Black Violence of My Lies.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“To an escalating degree over my adult life, 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,” she said.“I have built my life on a violent anti-Black lie, and I have lied in every breath I have taken.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So all this time even though she’s been living a lie, Krug claims it’s not a double life, she claims, as she has no other life beyond the one she has been living.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There is no parallel form of my adulthood connected to white people or a white community or an alternative white identity. I have lived this lie, fully, completely, with no exit plan or strategy,” Krug writes. “I have no identity outside of this. I have never developed one.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Krug said she asks for no forgiveness. She blames childhood trauma for causing her to be a “culture leech” but she still doesn’t feel that justifies her choices. Krug admits she has no idea how to move forward.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Mental health issues likely explain why I assumed a false identity initially, as a youth, and why I continued and developed it for so long,” Krug said. “When I was a teenager fleeing trauma, I could just run away to a new place and become a new person. But this isn’t trauma that anyone imposed on me, this is harm that I have enacted onto so many others. There is nowhere to run. I have ended the life I had no right to live in the first place.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She says she’s wanted to tell the truth before, but never found the strength.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I am a coward,” she writes, and then repeats it. “You should absolutely cancel me, and I absolutely cancel myself.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know how to fix this,” she goes on. “I don’t know what to build from here. I don’t know that it is possible to repair a single relationship I have with another person, living or dead, and I don’t believe I deserve the grace or kindness to do so.”</span></p>
