        It's telling that she chose to go to S Africa where white people have a bigger presence/higher status. Smh

        FYI, there is nothing trans-racial about a white woman with a curly perm. Neither genetics or hair roots lie. Y'all can keep her. Our gift.

        And what if we said the same about trans-gender people? We should embrace her is she feels she is black rather than scorning her.

        I know and I do respect your opinion. But as a black person myself, I feel happy that someone would want to/feels happy to look like me.

        Well unless, it is done on an ill motive for example to benefit from it.

        She is a white woman with artificial Tan. There is no such thing as transracial

        This is so fucking annoying. It's always the wrong people that garner all the attention and usually for the wrong reasons.

        I hope her trip to SA will teach her a thing or two about blackness.
