Sarah Palin has taken to her Facebook page for a typically insightful and nuanced contemplation of the Rachel Dolezal controversy and a thoughtful, complex consideration of race in America. "Our original civil rights freedom fighters are rolling in their graves over the backward steps we've taken lately"
But here are the highlights.
Ok, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t laugh… this hard. I know this isn’t a victimless crime, what this white chick perpetrated. But it’s a most crystal clear picture of so many screwed up things we’ve let society adopt as the norm. Namely, the practice nowadays of judging someone not based on character, but on skin color. Our original civil rights freedom fighters are rolling in their graves over the backward steps we’ve taken lately. It’s politically incorrect to call out Elizabeth Warren for falsely claiming she’s American Indian, or dinging Obama for just making up his former multi-ethnic girlfriend, and I guarantee I’ll be branded a racist for laughing at this Rachel Dolezal story. Whatever. Dolezal is an unsatisfied lily white leftist who believes the only thing less politically correct than being a white girl is to be a white guy today. Can’t help but be preemptively amused as I post this and invite Dolzel’s defenders wrath to aim and miss at we who won’t put up with political correctness destroying truth in America.

The only typo from Sarah I noticed was a misspelling of "colour".
What insight or nuance is required? Dolezal is simply a con artist. She knows she is not black, which is why she refused to answer direct questions about her ethnicity.
Governor Palin is perfect in her commentary.
To be made to look ridiculous is just too much for them, and the fact that we are in hysterics over it is pushing some over the edge. The whole "trans" thing is so precious to them and we are making it an absolute punchline.
if lefties can’t laugh at this fake black woman then this is proof they are mentally challenged...no that’s an insult to the mentally challenged as they would laugh at this fake black woman too!
If I know far left they probably be badmouth Rod Serling LOL!
National Association for the Advancement of Charlatan Pretenders.
RUN SARAH RUN!
Just pretend she said it with a British accent.
RGB I have been a RGB colored person..or an RGB-American....since I got my first computer......back in 1993
Oops, Salon - you screwed up and let Sarah actually make her point in her own words. That’s fatal for you.
"If I were to suddenly claim to be a woman (contrary to my biology), I would get all sorts of support. But then if I suddenly claim to be black, I would get excoriated."
Since I started making this joke, Bruce Jenner came out as transgender-- and now this woman claims to be "black." And once again, I wonder if our society is beyond parody.
The White woman was just trying to get some of that Black Privilege.
..thoughtful, complex consideration of race..
Hey, Eric Holder, your missing the Honest National Conversation about race.
The Marxist/Progressive narrative about race is revealed to be a joke, and the Left are revealed to be vile and venal Clowns.
Yes, normal people are laughing at the Left
I haven’t stopped laughing yet at the backwards flips the NAACP has done trying to reconcile themselves to the fact that they were thoroughly duped by that fauxblack. LOL!
Just highlights my unassailable belief that you should be PROUD of the traits you are born with and shouldn’t be discriminated against for those traits. This is such a simple and straightforward truth.
Has a caricature been made out of caricature?
Looks a lot like it.
Good theology is to boast in the Lord that has provided various people with various resources, all of which can be put to good or evil uses.
I sure missed the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth that accompanied the discovery that most great modern athletes are of Negro ancestry (once irrational racial barriers fell). Were white people pity partying over being dissed here? Not in my observation.
