They\u2019re either deeply confused,\u200b terribly\u2064 cynical, or both. \u200dRejecting reality in an\u2064 attempt to further \u2062a career or build \u2062an ego is pathetic. But\u200b what did we expect in a world where a biological man \u200bcan identify as a woman \u200cand gain access to women\u2019s restrooms? If identity is\u2062 fluid, so is\u2062 everything else,\u200b and there is no truth.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In the latest episode of identity fraud, it turns out that Andrea Smith, a professor at the University of\u200d California, \u2064Riverside, who has claimed to be\u2064 of Cherokee ancestry for years, isn\u2019t Native American at\u2064 all. She\u2019s white, \u2064according to <a href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/culture\/robert-spencer\/2023\/09\/01\/another-white-lady-gets-caught-trying-to-pass-for-brown-n1723795#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PJ Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What did\u200b Smith \u200bhave to gain? Maybe she didn\u2019t\u2064 think she could get into graduate school\u2062 on her own merits \u200bas\u200d a white woman and\u200b decided\u200d to exploit \u2063the now-defunct\u200b university <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-supreme-court-deals-crushing-blow-affirmative-action-college-admissions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">affirmative action admission<\/a> \u200cpolicies. Maybe she didn\u2019t think she could get tenure as a white woman. Maybe she bought \u2062into all the\u2064 hype that all white people are evil by way of their skin color and could\u2064 not bear\u2062 the shame. Who knows? Crazy people \u200care difficult to figure out.<\/p>\n<p>And, one might ask, where\u2019s the harm? So what if Smith\u200b play-acted\u2063 she\u2063 was Cherokee? Who did it hurt? Maybe it offends some people\u2063 who are genuinely Cherokee, \u200cbut does \u2063it really hurt\u200d them? The answer is yes. Violating reality hurts everybody. \u2064Circumventing truth for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/too-much-white-privilege-another-white-woman-caught-faking-minority-heritage\/\" title=\"White woman caught pretending to be a minority - excessive 'white privilege'?\">perceived personal gain \u2063breeds doubt<\/a> and can lead to a crippling cynicism that questions if <em>anything<\/em> can be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>If Smith\u2064 can identify \u2062as whatever\u200b she desires, \u2064so can you. So can I. So can everyone. The problem? The\u200b concept\u2064 of \u200cidentity no longer holds meaning.\u2064 If \u2064there is no meaning, \u2062life is\u200b pointless.\u200d It\u2019s the nihilist\u2019s dream\u2064 \u2014 whoever \u2063can convince the most \u2062people their lie is real wins.

To escape responsibility? Was the essay a confession? \u2064Did\u2064 Smith claim to be Cherokee because she\u2063 couldn\u2019t stand the color of her \u200cown \u200dskin? Then \u200dwhy didn\u2019t\u200c she make\u200c a lifelong commitment to \u200bfighting \u200dracism rather than exploiting race?<\/p>\n<p>Or did she choose to live a lie to bolster her\u200c career? \u200cActivist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/no-no-no-no-radical-activist-angela-davis-dismayed-learn-ancestors-owned-slaves-arrived-mayflower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angela Davis<\/a> once described Smith as \u201cone of the\u2062 greatest indigenous \u200cfeminist intellectuals of\u2064 our time,\u201d according to \u200dthe Times. So much for false\u200d accolades. The reality is\u2063 that Smith\u200d wasn\u2019t even very good at being a\u2064 fraud.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200b 2017, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/meet-the-native-american-rachel-dolezal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily\u2063 Beast<\/a> posted a story,\u200d \u201cMeet the Native American Rachel \u200bDolezal.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/elizabeth-warren-gets-blindsided-air-interview-original-rachel-dolezal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rachel Dolezal<\/a> \u2062is a white political \u2063activist who claimed to be black for years until she,\u2064 too, was found out. Sooner or later, reality wins.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-considers-allowing-video-of-george-floyds-2019-arrest-in-trial\/\" title=\"Judge considers allowing video of George Floyd\u2019s 2019 arrest in trial\">high-profile case<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/day-2-elizabeth-warrens-ancestor-actually-helped-slaughter-indians-report-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elizabeth Warren<\/a> comes to mind as well. She lost her battle with reality, or did she? Warren claimed to be of Cherokee heritage \u2014 just like Smith \u2014 but when she\u200c took a DNA test\u200d to\u2064 prove it, the \u200ctest showed she was from 1\/64th to 1\/1024th \u200cNative American. Let\u2019s give\u200c her the benefit of the doubt and allow the upper range. That makes Warren a solid 1.563 percent Native \u200bAmerican. It may as well be 0 \u200cpercent.<\/p>\n<p>Did Warren claim to be Cherokee to get ahead in a university\u200b environment \u200cwhere the trend was to hire\u2062 women of color in greater numbers to \u2064diversify the faculty?\u200c If so, \u200bthen Smith and Warren \u2064are birds of\u2062 a feather, and the scheme\u200d begins to make sense. They were just playing the progressive game. \u200dWho can blame them \u2062for \u2064playing the\u200d cards they were dealt?<\/p>\n<p>I can.<\/p>\n<p>If people like Smith \u200dare allowed\u2064 to get away with racial ruses such as these, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sparknotes.com\/shakespeare\/macbeth\/quotes\/page\/5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Macbeth<\/a> was right,\u2063 \u201cLife\u2019s but a\u200d walking shadow, a poor player, \u200bthat struts and frets his hour\u2064 upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.\u201d If \u200cMacbeth is right, there is no God and \u2063no truth. Life is\u2064 meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>By the looks of things, Smith, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/embarrassing-dem-infighting-upset-kamala-harris-wont-return-elizabeth-warrens-phone-calls-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warren<\/a>, and\u200b the like aren\u2019t geniuses. They aren\u2019t consummate sophists, like\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/salvomag.com\/article\/salvo20\/the-illusionist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gorgias<\/a> of ancient Greece who could convincingly prove a\u200d weaker argument to \u2062be the stronger. So how do they\u2063 get\u2063 away with \u2062it?<\/p>\n<p>Warren still\u2062 holds one of the highest offices\u200b in \u200cthe U.S.<\/p>\n<p>As for Smith, according to PJ Media,\u200c she \u2062has resigned, \u201cbut her resignation looks\u2064 to be almost as\u2063 fake\u200d as her \u2063Cherokee heritage.\u201d Smith will step\u2063 down from her\u2063 position in a year, but she\u2019ll \u200dbe allowed to keep teaching\u200b until\u200c she retires.<\/p>\n<p>UC Riverside officials stated\u200d that \u2062Smith \u201cwill not be subjected to an investigation, will keep her retirement \u200cbenefits \u2063and \u200dwill retain\u200d the title of professor\u200d emeritus.\u201d That\u2019s not \u200call, as\u2064 \u201cthe university will cover \u2062up to $5,000 \u2064of her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-daily-mail-issues-public-statement-about-meghan-markle-after-losing-court-battle\/\" title=\"The Daily Mail Issues Public Statement About Meghan Markle After Losing Court Battle\">legal fees related<\/a> to the\u200d complaint.\u201d Talk about too much white privilege!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not much\u200c of a punishment for attempting to corrode the foundation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/christ-meets-culture-pride-comes-fall-western-civilization-tipping-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western civilization<\/a> \u2064laid down by Plato \u2014 the pursuit of\u2062 truth.
