So, I'm confused now.. I was reading "Dr Luke Woods" Twitter feed here again (I would take advice from Dr. Pepper before this guy) and came across a weird post he made:
So, in this post there are a few weird things.
- Luke Wood says he took a DNA test and he's 100% African American - Ok, that part I guess maybe makes sense, I mean, he's no Don Cheadle (maybe their tests got mixed up at the DNA testing place) but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that statement..
- Wood then says he learned his "Black Power" score is 100. That I don't think DNA tests indicate.. do they? Do DNA tests give white people a "White Power" score when they take them too? I guess what he's saying there is a joke? It's not really funny.. but... maybe a joke?
- He then says his "Tolerance Score For White Fragility is 5%" That's supposed to be funny?
As a white person I do find this quite unprofessional and even racist.
I'm also having trouble squaring his bizarre post on Twitter (racist post in my opinion) with what he said on the Dr. Phil Show in the following clip where he says at around the 20:00 mark:
"Yeah, I'm half black, and half white, I'm black. That's how it works":
So, was he joking about being half black and half white (which makes him black) in the Dr. Phil Interview, or was he joking in the Twitter post saying he took a DNA test that said he was 100% African American?
This guy is giving off serious Rachel Dolezal vibes.
