The damage Rachel Dolezal has done

The fascinating Rachel Dolezal story has more layers than one of those flaky Pillsbury biscuits. She’s the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP and a professor of African American studies at Eastern Washington University, who was outed as not actually being African American. Her years of deception came to an end after her inability to answer a simple question at the end of an interview with KXLY television reporter Jeff Humphrey. “Are you an African American?” he asked. After a long, blinkless and blank stare, Dolezal said, “I don’t understand the question.”

Chil’, please!

Dolezal most definitely understood the question, which is why she took flight 16 seconds after Humphrey’s query. She posted a picture of herself last January with a black man on her Facebook page who she claimed was her father. And she checked “African American” and all the other race choices on an application for a public position in Spokane. Those turned out to be two loose threads that quickly unraveled once pulled by Humphrey and Dolezal’s own white parents.

She claimed the answer to the question was very “complicated” so, in the lingo of the modern lunatic asylum, she should be self-identifying as racequeer or, if she’s no longer confused, transblack.

[rhubarbk]

Trans-Am . . . HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Ueriah]

Looking back on it, when I went for that State job I should have woke up that morning identifying as a black woman and got the extra 20 points.

[Obadiah]

Yeah, hey! I self-identify as Black! Are you judging me?? How dare you.

[tioga]

Did you say Elizabeth Warren?

.......

[Red Badger]

Has she committed a crime?
Probably not.
Has she made the entire liberal educational establishment look like a bunch of absolute idiots?
Most definitely..................

[Billthedrill]

Still the Post can't bring itself to be honest about the topic. She took on a black identity because she wanted to share the advantages: a sense of grievance, a sense of oppression, a sense of self-righteousness, a sense of entitlement, a full-ride scholarship, and employment in well-paying jobs in the grievance industry. That's why she did it. That any of that stuff exists at all is the topic at hand and they're avoiding it like a vampire avoids holy water.

[DaxtonBrown]

The damage she has done is to expose the hypocrisy and outright lunacy of the Left’s gender and racial victim agenda.

[Red Badger]

I had a 99 Firebird, does that count?..............

[Jeff Chandler]

I’ve eaten enough Mexican food in my life to qualify as Hispanic White.

[MNDude]

This is such a funny story in this world of constant bad news.

[MrB]

That’s exactly it. The ultimate expression of liberal white privilege is to claim to be black.

[Jeff Chandler]

If Bruce Jenner can be a woman, then she can be black! or a camel or a Trans-Am.

Or a 1973 avocado green Pontiac GTO?

The damage she has done is to expose the hypocrisy and outright lunacy of the Left’s gender and racial victim agenda.....True, but think of the affirmative action quota system that Elizabeth Warren cheated and cashed in on.....the left invented all this victimhood, now they think it's ok for whites to cash in? LOL They are crazy.

[P-Marlowe]

A little make up and a frizzy wig and you can experience “Black Privilege”

How is she any different from Al Jolsen?

[x1stcav]

I skipped the food and went straight for messican beer. You get to full beanerhood faster that way.

Now, if I can just find a way to become illegal I’ll be waaaay ahead of the game.

[CityCenter]

I would love to see her sue for racial discrimination after getting fired. Would be a hoot!

[Qiviut]

That about sums it up .... best so far.

[cripplecreek]

I’m a double agent.

A conservative black man born in a white body.

[I cannot think of a name]

“Has she made the entire liberal educational establishment look like a bunch of absolute idiots?”

In all fairness to her, the entire liberal educational establishment has been doing a find job of making themselves look like absolute idiots without her help.

It’s not a difficult task when you actually ARE absolute idiots!
