Shes not wrong though. Race is definitely a social construct but she misses the point. Black people can't get away from it. We can't wake up one day and decide to be white.

She's essentially saying that black people, in general, are too stupid to know why they should embrace her.

How does she walk around without getting punched in the face constantly?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I remember when I almost got banned for suggesting that she wasn't really black. Good times.

1970

http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman's_Girlfriend,_Lois_Lane_Vol_1_106

To get a story about life in Little Africa, a black ghetto in Metropolis, Lois Lane has Superman use a transformation machine designed by Dahr-Nel to turn her into a black woman. During her stay there, she meets neighborhood activist Dave Stevens, and helps save his life with a transfusion of her own blood after he is shot by drug dealers. When he awakens, and sees she has become a white woman again, he accepts her sacrifice nonetheless with gratitude.

dude couldn't catch a break

Dahr-Nel
In February of 1969, Lois Lane finds herself experiencing a series of unusual blackouts, whereby she ends up in one place without any knowledge of how she gets there. She consequently takes a week of sick leave from the Daily Planet in order to relax at the Lane family's farm in Pittsdale. While at the farm, she experiences another dizzy spell...she nearly falls off of a bridge. However, she is rescued by the handsome "Dr. Rick Darnell," who takes her to his strange lab and deems her "a perfect specimen of young womanhood."
After the two witness an automobile accident and Dr. Darnell demonstrates superior knowledge and skill in medicine, Lois comments that no doctor in this world is capable of such things. She is right, for "Dr. Darnell" soon admits that he is actually Dahr-Nel, a surgeon and survivor of Old Krypton. He shows her many of the implements in his laboratory as proof (including a plastimold) and asks Lois to marry him. After a week of deliberation, and an episode where she becomes very angry with Superman for pretending to marry her in order to catch a gang of criminals, she agrees. Dahr-Nel prepares the following inscription, before the two are to enter suspended animation:

HERE IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION,
SLEEP DAHR-NEL OF KRYPTON
AND HIS BRIDE, LOIS OF EARTH,
WHO WILL AWAKEN IN THE YEAR 2169
TO BEGIN A NEW AND HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER

As the Dormigen Gas is released and Lois falls asleep, Dahr-Nel realizes that he's made a mistake; given his increased powers on Earth, the gas will not affect him the same way that it affects Lois. He quickly retrieves a piece of Green Kryptonite from Superman's Fortress of Solitude, to decrease his powers and allow himself to be sedated by the gas.
Meanwhile, Superman, sorry that he's upset Lois, comes to their mountain cavern and yells "Lois, come back! I was a fool! A FOOL!" while remorsefully smashing the stone inscription to tiny bits. Lois, not yet fully affected by the gas, awakens and comes to Superman. Alas, to their horror, Lois' new husband is already dead. Because of the dual effects of kryptonite poisoning and the sedative gas, Dahr-Nel has tragically crystallized into Green Kryptonite.
Lois is devastated. When she cries the rhetorical "Why?", Superman answers with a scientific answer: Dahr-Nel wasn't used to his superpowers, so instead of flying her through the time barrier, he had used kryptonite and accidentally killed himself. Superman tries to reassure Lois that she will someday be Mrs. Superman, while sealing up Dahr-Nel's final resting place.

The archives do not record whether anything Superman said on that tragic day was comforting to Lois (SGLL No. 90, "Lois Lane's Future Husband").

Do you think the media/nation would have this bemused detachment attitude if someone black tried to pretend they were white based on I dunno reading the J Crew catalogue as a kid and started lecturing other white people on how to behave and how they didn't understand their whiteness etc.

I'm pretty sure a non negligible amount of people would lose their minds.

Hey Rachel, just because you want things to be a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way. Welcome to my life.

At the very least we'll stop seeing remedial arguments about people being "transracial" for a while, cause that was exhausting. Like having to read that much stupidity felt like a 12hr work day in a manufacturing plant.

Lol @ that Superman comic. I guess I get what they were trying to do, but they did it in the most tone-deaf way possible. I get that it was 1970 or whatever, but yeesh.

Loving the Superman stuff but can we please stop giving Dolezal the oxygen of publicity?

She's either a very canny individual knowing that controversy makes her money or severely mentally ill both options are pretty unpalatable.
