  1. It just means she is a sick black woman saturated with Stockholm syndrome. Wait till they get a hold of you and lynch you. At that point in time you will see your true color. Low self esteem black females

  2. You can't fault her that's how she was raised. However, society will let her know what she is. She certainly isn't going to get a pass. Poor lady.

  3. Her parents should have made the effort to educate her in black culture, made black friends etc. Its a lot easier here in the UK however. I sense a lot of race hate in SA.

  4. She’s pretty clear. She didn’t learn “how to be black” meaning the cultures are CLEARLY different and incongruous from her perspective.

    White culture probably seems more elevated compared to whatever she’s seeing from the black community.

  5. I'm sorry Marie, your child will never be black, the will be mixed race aka mulatto like arabs race with a straight hair/ curly hair and with different face features.

  6. I can't blame the sister at all, she was purposely bamboozled from birth and manipulated by her white parents. I do find the reporter's take very interesting as she says we should embrace transracial individuals and look into what really defines race based off this situation, which I find the thought of embracing anyone that has no knowledge of self and exhibits a form of self-deprecation toxic. I can be open-minded to understanding her condition of racial displacement as I myself could relate at a certain point of my life however my internal compass always pointed to a shared struggle and race conscious of being part of a whole experience in which white society has deemed as being not like them and therefore black because remember brothers and sisters the word 'black' is a western 'Anglo' term defining us as a dark people void of color and with connotations as being dirty; however before the invasions and colonialism we never referred to ourselves as black or dark but only to later discover that whiteness is scientifically deemed as being void of color🤨
