MTV ^ | 6/12/2015 | Rachel Paoletta

As Rachel Dolezal’s story unravels on- and offline, the Internet has followed suit with questions of its own. In a recent interview, Dolezal’s parents said they’re “both of Caucasian and European descent,” and their now 37-year-old daughter — the president of Spokane’s NAACP chapter — has been pretending to be black for the last decade.

One of the best threads ‘evaar’. :D

If the transsexuals can have a sex change operation, Rachel should be able to have a race change operation. Fair enough? /sarc.

You know, I don’t care what people want to call themselves. If you think you’re a lion, so what? As long as you aren’t hunting folks, who cares?

The problem is when the mentally insane demand that everyone else accept their insanity, especially when they want to use government to punish any dissent. That is where we have to draw the line.

Today I feel like... drat. I’m still a WASP male. I’m just too stuck in reality I suppose.

Califreak: “My son calls her kind Afro-Saxon”

This thread is full of good ones. I’ll have to remember this one. She’s a self loathing white, Afro-Saxon!
