This week, Christina Roach submitted the topic of White Passing, a technique started in the slavery era in an effort by black people to escape the hardships of a white-led society. Many times, black people with a lighter complexion would assimilate into white society in an effort to gain freedom from the slave trade.

Years later, that technique continued in an effort to gain equal rights, taxation, and escape segregation. But after the Civil Rights movement, the need for White Passing slowly dissipated. However, years later Racial Passing by people of all backgrounds continues, albeit for much different reasons.

Today, black people may try to "act white" to try and fit in with society. But that move has fallen out of favor with many. So why does it continue? Do people of other backgrounds and ethnicities take part? And how is it impacting people of color? Let's get into it!
