White Professor Admits She Pretended To Be Black Her Whole Career To Get Ahead

Fact checked

A history professor at George Washington University who insisted she was black for years and received financial support from black cultural institutions has now confessed she is a “culture leech” who has been lying about her race.

In reality, Professor Jessica A. Krug is a white Jewish woman from Kansas City who profited off her claims of being a black woman. So much for so-called “white privilege.”

In a case reminiscent to Rachel Dolezal, Professor Krug took financial support from black cultural institutions such as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for a book she wrote about African slavery.

In 2009 she is understood to have been award as Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship. 

According to a Medium post written by Krug herself, her successful academic and literary career was rooted in a “toxic soil of lies”.

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,” she wrote.

In Krug’s book Fugitive Modernities, published before she confessed that she is not black, she wrote in her acknowledgments: “My ancestors, unknown, unnamed, who bled life into a future they had no reason to believe could or should exist. My brother, the fastest, the smartest, the most charming of us all. Those whose names I cannot say for their own safety, whether in my barrio, in Angola, or in Brazil.”

But it was all a lie.

In her Medium post, Professor Krug confessed, “I have not only claimed these identities as my own when I had absolutely no right to do so — when doing so is the very epitome of violence, of thievery and appropriation, of the myriad ways in which non-Black people continue to use and abuse Black identities and cultures — but I have formed intimate relationships with loving, compassionate people who have trusted and cared for me when I have deserved neither trust nor caring … every step I’ve taken has gaslighted those whom I love.”

Krug also wrote that she had mental health issues.

To say that I clearly have been battling some unaddressed mental health demons for my entire life, as both an adult and child, is obvious,” adding that has “severe trauma that marked my early childhood and teen years.”

She continued, “I am not a culture vulture. I am a culture leech … I am a coward …

Professor Krug then said she deserves to be “canceled” and “I absolutely cancel myself.

I believe in cancel culture as a necessary and righteous tool for those with less structural power to wield against those with more power. I should absolutely be cancelled … You should absolutely cancel me, and I absolutely cancel myself.”

But then: “What does that mean? I don’t know.

Following the revelations in her post, Krug has been slammed on Twitter by several black writers and colleagues who are accusing her of admitting her lies because she was about to be exposed.

Hari Ziyad, a black author and screenwriter, claimed Krug only penned the post because she had been ‘found out’

Neal Davidson said he ‘started grad school in history at UW-Madison around the same time as Jessica Krug. Everyone I knew suspected she was full of sh*t, but no one was sure what to do about it.’

In a series of scathing tweets, Ziyad said he considered Krug to be a friend until she called him a few hours prior to the Medium post being published to confess. 

Jess Krug… is someone I called a friend up until this morning when she gave me a call admitting to everything written here. She didn’t do it out of benevolence. She did it because she had been found out,’ Ziyad tweeted. 

Jessica Krug, described by the GWU website as a “historian of politics, ideas, and cultural practices in Africa and the African Diaspora, with a particular interest in West Central Africa and maroon societies in the early modern period and Black transnational cultural studies,” is the author of “Fugitive Modernities: Politics and Identity Outside the State in Kisama, Angola, and the Americas, c. 1594-Present” and Fathers of No Nation.

  1. I wonder if this HAG is renting a room at Pocahontas’ Mansion? Both are cut from the same dirty cloth. You’re Fired! Hopefully she receives a nice visit from her BLM/Antifa Buddies, they too are cut from the same cloth.

  2. Like most literature All lies now since ” “they ” centralised the entire publishing industry in the mid 90s. They closed all the independent book stores ,banned the importation of foreign books ,and completely censored everything that was allowed to be put on bookstores shelves .They knew she was a fake all along.

    • Racial-based and Ethnic-based government privileges is EXACTLY the kind of thing Blacks and Jews DEMAND from government, so it’s not exactly slavery when they violently demand it for themselves.

      They justify their government privileges by claiming they are an eternally oppressed minority, oppressed by pro-constitution white people or Nazi.

      Blacks and Jews are not the only diversity (aka victim cult) groups that do this corruption.

      Feminist and Militant Queers and Zionist are the three largest victim cult groups that also demand government diversity privileges too..

      Democrats and Neocon are the two political groups that promote this anti-constitution, extreme corruption as a public good or as social justice.

      • I’ve been reading Unabomber Ted Kascynski’s Manifesto. He had liberal fascists sized up 25 years ago. It’s a good read. Too bad he handled things in the fashion that he did.

        • A so-called liberal fascist is also a SJW crony capitalist, a yet another privileged-by-law category of diversity.

          Large corporations are rewarded by federal and state governments when they support group entitlements for diversity (aka protected class or victim cult) people.

          The government rewards for corporate diversity policies include special tax breaks, freedom from government DOJ litigation harassment, freedom from IRS harassment, subsidized low interest loans and grants, streamlined business
          licenses and permits, import-export preferences, and preferential access to government contracts.

          Small businesses receive generous 8a set-aside government contracts if they are majority-owned by diversity people.

          Diversity entitlement and privilege is a official policy of the US government.

        • Very true, he predicted a lot of what’s going on now. He was also spot on about the negatives of all the electronic technology everyone is obsessed with nowadays. He did take it a little too far though.

  3. It’s plum amazing the fantasy worlds mentally ill will build themselves into and mostly it’s out of some type of self-loathing or inferiority complex.

    And she should be prosecuted for fraud as she knowingly gained from her lies.

    • Diversity supremacist are NOT self-loathing.

      Diversity supremacist believe they are, at the very least, morally superior to non-diversity people.

      Diversity people’s superiority complex is why they they demand superior privileges and entitlements from government.

      The idea that diversity people are self-loathing is idiotic.

      Even dirty, diversity supremacist queers have public pride parades where they let ignorant people know that queers are PROUD of themselves and they are not self-loathing.

  4. Jews are not white, they are middle eastern Semites.

    White is a alternate name for a European, and the middle east is not in Europe.

    Jews pretend to be white so that their criminal activities will be lumped in with white people’s crime rate numbers and also that their own criminal activities won’t be tracked separately by the government.

    This deception also artificially inflates the crime rate of whites.

    Jews identify as Jewish when the government hands out the many privileges that are specific to them.

    If the US had a honest, non-diversity supremacist government, there would be a separate crime rate category for a Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) ethnic group.

    The fact that a Jewish woman cheated to garner Afro government privileges too should not be a shock to anyone who is sentient.

  5. I am a staunch advocate of lefties who abuse and mock the left agenda by their greed and avarice. You go Jessica!! Lol
