Organizers for the Baltimore Book Festival announced Tuesday they disinvited Rachel Dolezal, the controversial white woman who represented herself as African American for years, to this year's event after receiving major public backlash.
Festival organizers released a statement on its Facebook page, citing reaction from attendees and authors as the reason for rescinding Dolezal's invitation.
"A top priority of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts is to listen to our constituents, and after hearing from a cross-section of opinions on having Rachel Dolezal participate in this year’s festival, we had to consider how her appearance may affect both the audience and the other extraordinary authors we have planned for the Baltimore Book Festival," the statement read.

Why isn’t she in jail for fraud? It’s illegal to scam benefits.
If Bradley Edward Manning can think he's a woman, and Michael Jackson thought he was white, how come Rachel can't think she is a Negro?
Life is so, so unfair.
It’s over for sideshow Bob.
Can she replace Kathy Griffin on CNN?
What benefits did she scam?
Why doesn’t Ted Danson speak out in her behalf?
They only did it because she is ‘black’!
So her black brothers and sisters are throwing her under the bus. Hehehehehe

Its unfair for a white to be black in the same way it is unfair for male to female transexuals are unfair to female sports teams
It’s tough being black. Especially when you aren’t.
Of course it’s illegal to scam for benefits. Sadly, Lieawatha Warren never has been prosecuted, much less Dolezal.

Rachel Dolezal Declares She’s On Historic Mission To Fix South Africa’s Racial Divide
It’s obvious they did this because she’s black.
Rachael Jolson-Mammy!
But Kathy Griffin will get a promotion from CNN.
What benefits did she scam? It's not illegal to claim to be a member of any race. When it comes to race, the U.S. Census allows you to self-identify. If racial tests even exist, no authority administers them (imagine the ugly comparisons to Nazi Germany that would open up).
Check "black" on an admissions application and dare someone to prove you wrong. And who's to say she doesn't have a single drop of black blood inside her? Who's to say any of us don't? Ask an anthropologist and we're all African! That's why I dearly love Rachel Dolezal. She personifies the absurdity of all this "self-identification" nonsense.
