dolezal and the privilege of racial manipulation june 14 2015 june 14 2015 lisa marie uncategorized bi racial black adoptee black women culture interracial mixed race multicultural multiracial race racism transracial transracial adoption this madness around racheldolezal has me and many other transracial adoptees and transracial families squirming and a bit angry please check out this article i wrote for lost daughters about the whole debaucle transracial lives matter rachel dolezal and the privilege of racial manipulation the commodification of otherness has been so successful because it is offered as a new delight more intense more satisfying than normal ways of doing and feeling within commodity culture ethnicity becomes spice seasoning that can liven up the dull dish that is mainstream white culture bell hooks eating the other desire and resistance they love our bodies but they don t love us blackwomenslivesmatter sayhername everybody wanna be a nigga but nobody wanna be a nigga paul mooney i was doing my best to ignore this story it wasn t until one of my fellow adult adoptees alerted me to the fact that twitter which i use religiously but avoided specifically the past two days had begun to use the term transracial to refer to rachel dolezal a white woman who has been outed as hiding her whiteness and living as a black woman that i paid attention i discovered that twitter had also begun a hashtag as a sarcastic taunt transraciallivesmatter then i read an article that argued that transracial identity is not a thing um no for those of you who don t know and clearly there are a lot of you the term transracial is used in scholarly research creative writing and cultural work to denote a particular state of being for people adopted across race it also describes a kind of family unit type of parenting in other words it is a thing it is disheartening and disconcerting to see this term used dismissively as if it does not encompass an entire population of black brown native and asian people across the globe for the past 35ish years i ve considered myself to be a transracial adoptee the trans in transracial for me never meant my race changed it meant i was a multiracial black girl adopted into a white family it meant i was taken without my consent from one home one place of origin and put inside another family another culture another race one that didn t belong to me it meant i had to learn how to navigate my blackness and my black girlness inside an often times racist religious violent and rigid white world it meant living in a house and community that simultaneously erased me racialized me and tokenized me it gave me a language to articulate what was happening to me but you know what it didn t do it never actually changed my race
