The Left! It's as useless as trying to communicate with an insolent adolescent. He's pulling his hair out and blaming us for his actions.

This was, in essence, a trap–a perfect narrative for skeptics of anti-racist work to mock and discredit every white anti-racist ally in the world by tarring them with Rachel Dolezal’s spray-on bronzer. The community of obnoxious right-wing pundits is capering with giddy joy right now, piling on en masse to declare Dolezal’s fraudulent life story proof that black Americans’ “victimhood narrative” is generally fraudulent, by the same logic, I suppose, that would take stolen valor as proof that war never actually happens.

No. Rachel Dolezal fit YOUR "victimhood narrative" and it blew up in your faces - quite spectacularly.

ALL the good people that have been pilloried by Salon and now Rachel Dolezal is giving them heartburn but we can't comment because...... Tell me again why we can't turn our heads and look at this train wreak of liberal piety blowing up in their faces?

Note to author: The U.S. President is black.

Clinton was allowed to be the first black president.

That was beautifully phrased CW.

They never rationalize the weirdo single-instance enemy of theirs like this, they broad brush all opposition like the ne guy then. They find all their dem buddies and run their quotes that the entire opposition is this way, its an endemic /systemic problem...

Salon holds true to form. Where wordy idiots go to stroke off.

How dare we treat them like they treat us.

Only because she is actually white, so in this instance they were unable to defend the fraud.

Yes, a wonderful phrase. Sounds like something WFB or Mark Stein would write. Very Nice CW.

The author, Arthur Chu, is trying to debunk the stereotype that all Chinese are smart. He is using himself as an example that it's not true.

I did learn a new word from reading this piece.

LUTZ

“Beginning as a plural variant of lol, Lulz was originally an exclamation but is now often just used as a noun meaning interesting or funny internet content. According to the media, Lulz is a corruption of LOL, which stands for laugh out loud.”

Tell me again why it’s OK to post sewage from Salon here, but items from “racist” publications are banned?

Why the surprise? It's not like she's the only one.

There's a long line of people faking racial or sexist hate crimes against themselves.

And as for checking the box, there's poster girl Elizabeth Warren.

Thanks guys.

The verbiage in Salon articles is contagious.

Thank you for the kind words.

On threads like this I always like to check the background of the author.

Arthur Chu became a minor celebrity when he won Jeopardy! 11 times in a row using an unorthodox strategy that riled fans. But he lost his final game back in March so, theoretically, his 15 minutes of fame should be over. Theoretically.

Except now he's redirected his broad intelligence to blogging about culture, and of the five articles he's published on The Daily Beast, two have already gone wildly viral. He's tackled homophobia, racism and sexism with unconventional arguments often told from the point of view of a “nerd.” In fact, Salon aptly coined Chu’s style as “nerdsplaining.” And so begins Chu’s new role: social justice warrior.

Rachel Dolezal is the logical, expected outcome of Progressive thinking and the Progressive narrative.

Progressives should be celebrating her as their crowning achievement.

Very interesting. I thought his name was familiar.

Maybe he picked a bad time to become a SJW.

As if liberals would miss a beat if some conservative did something like this. Except, of course, conservatives are by nature not as wacky as liberals.

Conservatives get involved in sex, drugs, and money scandals, but just about never these kinds of these bizarre scams. Liberals are virtually the only types who get involved with stunts like this.

Oh, you're not even close when you say "crowning achievement."

There's much "better" to come.
