George Washington University says it is investigating after a blog post purportedly written by history professor Jessica A. Krug claimed that she is white and has fabricated various Black identities.

"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," the post says.

"I am not a culture vulture. I am a culture leech," the post continues. Predicting the sharp criticism she now faces, the author writes:"You should absolutely cancel me, and I absolutely cancel myself." The author attributes her donning of a false identity to mental health issues:"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." She says she experienced severe trauma as a child.

Jessica A. Krug is the name of an associate professor in the history department at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Krug did not immediately reply to an NPR request for confirmation that she wrote the post.

Oh, like Dorothea.

Krug blamed her lies on mental health issues related to trauma she experienced as a child and teen. How many more godless Democrat professors are there out there with mental health issues?

All black and white identity is invented.

If 'white privilege' is real, why do people pretend to be black? Brain damage.

It seems like even fake black lives matter.

She ain’t black

Dolezal’d.
