Okay, let’s do this. If Jenner can be a woman, why can’t Dolezal be black?

Yes, I know that we already hit this story yesterday. Ed covered it here, while AP weighed in here and here as well. But as I watched the media coverage of the Rachel Dolezal news roll out yesterday I just couldn’t let this particular sleeping dog lie. (And I apologize in advance if this is a bit long but there’s a lot of material to cover. Please bear with me.) The initial questions about what Dolezal is alleged to have done seems fairly cut and dry at first glance, but are they really?

Sure, barring some proof that her parents turn out to be lying or the early life photos are somehow faked, it seems fairly obvious that the woman is about as white as white could be. If you looked in an encyclopedia next to the phrase “white woman” you would probably find her picture. And yes, she seems to have woven an extensive web of lies about who her father is, claimed that her adopted brother was her son and a host of other things which clearly seem to be intentionally deceptive. To what purpose? Was it to advance her career in the civil rights movement? I suppose so, though the NAACP is insisting that she could have gotten that job anyway and that they welcome people of all races.

But here’s my main beef with this coverage. As soon as I read about Dolezal it crossed my mind that there was another, underlying story waiting to be told....

The US Supreme Court has already decided that she can.

I made this point the moment I heard this story.

Jenner is not a woman, he is lying and Dolezal is not black, she is lying. Simple, is that enough?

[knarf]

or laz, President !

[citizen]

cuz she ain’t....but then, I’m a simple person.

Test it.

We can have some one call her a nigger and kick Bruce Jenner in the nuts at the same time.

Her reaction will be fake, but Bruce’s wont!

(It wont decide anything, but I get a laugh outta Bruce Jenner getting kicked in the nuts)

[moehoward]

I like a scientific approach.

So what if she lied about it. The girl fro Boys don’t Cry lied about being a boy. She’s been accepted as transgender.

Rachel has lived the life of a black woman a lot more than Jenner has genuinely experienced living as a woman. Has Jenner had periods? No.

Rachel talked the talk and walked the talk. She was even targeted by racists.

America’s symbol will evolve from an eagle to a nut.

With both jenner and dolezal, it relates to the same reason my aunt wasn’t my uncle ... she didn’t have any balls.

You’re born the way you’re born. No amount of pretending will make it different.

[Islander2]

Along with a white woman wanting to be called black and a man wanting to be called a woman.
How about sheep herders wanting to be called Taxidermists just because they mount animals?

Anything goes in looney tunes land now.

Okay, let’s do this. If Jenner can be a woman, why can’t Dolezal be black?

And obama a man.
