Here's the main thread, but obviously a lot of stuff has been deleted.

/u/TheIdesOfLight posts a photo in this post with the implication that the girl in the picture is her.

Here is a post claiming that it isn't, which was deleted.

Ides then posts another photo here and here.

Here's a copy of the photo, in case it get's deleted: http://i.imgur.com/NbcLRVD.jpg

Here's a post which was deleted, claiming that the image has been tinted to make the skin look darker.

Now, I'm no expert on image manipulation and as far as I can tell, that could just be poor lighting. Some black people do have very light skin. Or it could be a white person desperately trying to fake being black.

However, it seems fairly obvious that the person who's hand is in the second photo is not the same person as the girl in the first photo. The little girl clearly has skin on the back of her hand which is significantly darker than the palm and nails. The person giving us a close up of their hand doesn't.
