it’s difficult being interviewed by colbert, but he’s on point too.
I’ll read this woman’s book and see whats up.
She’s right though, about having sex to change your race, since race was made up to separate and nothing more.

As funny as it is I wish she could’ve spoken more about her book.

Her evasiveness is a pitiful attempt to draw interest to her book. Sounds like a book about a lot of rehashed racial theories with no original voice. She would’ve been better served answering the questions. Or maybe there’s not really much to talk about.
