Rachel Dolezal was publicly disgraced for claiming that she identified as black amid accusations she had long tried to pass herself off as African-American. Now, she is actively being asked to represent black culture.
Dolezal was invited to attend the Braid On Economic Liberty March & Rally in Dallas led by natural hair stylist and activist Isis Brantley. The rally is branded as an event to encourage black women's hair care and empowerment.

I’ve been close friends with enough black people over the years to know that some regard themselves as having “good” hair, meaning not coarse and tightly curled.

ISIS Brantley is not a name I’d want right now.
prolly more than 50% of blacks don't have authentic black hair, just a bunch of hairhats...
(I remember the Saturday AM tv show "Isis")
She needs to give some help to Crapernick.
Pulis are welcome at the event, but not those cultural-appropriating Komondor crackahs.
