Original Note:
Any wrong or controversial statement can be retroactively reframed as satire. For context, the claims in her essay come from Afrocentrism’s Melanin Theory. It’s pseudoscience but stubbornly widespread. Readers can judge for themselves whether she took it seriously at the time. https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691117904/contentious-curricula
