‘Black’ Rachel Dolezal: Whites shouldn’t discuss racism

As if the case of Rachel Dolezal couldn’t get any sillier, anti-racism activist Tim Wise says that the “black” former NAACP chapter president once “tried to stop him from speaking” at Eastern Washington University because … “white folks can’t speak with any legitimacy to issues of racism.”

Dolezal was a part-time professor at the college.

if her parents didn’t come out and say she was white.. she’d still be playing this con. She’d still be getting away with it, too.

Yep. She's like the Frank Abagnale of "race relations."

[Tired of Taxes]

a case of "the emperor's new clothes".

That's a perfect analogy for this story.

I keep thinking of the movie Zelig, a fictional story about a man who was a human chameleon: His appearance would literally change depending on the group of people he was with.

She's the real-life, female version of Zelig.

[MoochPooch]

Probably like Zelig she had self-esteem issues. Deep down, every narcissist does. My guess — she was trying to lose her real self, maybe because of some kind of trauma. Her family sounded kinda kooky. Underneath her persona is a great fragility — or maybe a great void.

I’ve met a lot of Rachels. She’s someone who’s basically trying to do her own thing and have everyone accept her on her terms. “I feel that I’m black, so you have to treat me as one.” Same with Jenner. Underneath her persona is a great fragility — or maybe a great void.

He should’ve filed a lawsuit that he was discriminated against on the basis of skin color.

Whoops. Didn’t mean to repeat myself. Copy & pasted without deleting.

[Tired of Taxes]

You’re probably right. There are plenty of people just like her. But, while most of those people just have personal problems, she played it up to her advantage, and she used it to knock other people down. Fascinating story, though.

[stilloftyhenight]

Uhh...Rachel...you’re WHITE!

[MoochPooch]

The comments on the original thread are hilarious!

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

...white folks can’t speak with any legitimacy to issues of racism.”

This is a university level grievance studies meme. I had a guy tell me the same on a Facebook discussion. He even had a footnote to add credibility.

“How did she get away with this con job for so long?”

Political Correctness and voicing the liberal narrative.

[logic101.net]

We can’t discuss race, yet according to Holder WE are COWARDS because we can’t discuss it.

[Gasshog]

Yes, Ray-ray was a homely freakeled-faced wite girl with little to nothing going for her until she turned “blak” and grabbed her some entitlements.

She doesnt give two-poohs about black people, just the affirmative action thang working for her, and the ego boost.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t think she’s homely. She was a cute little girl, and she’d be a decent-looking woman if she didn’t have that blank, dead-soul expression. The creepiest thing about her “glamor” photos is her dead face.

To me, none of the information that’s come out so far has answered the question of whether she’s a pure opportunist, “I can get this job if I pose as black,” or whether something in her life led her to truly believe that she had no personal value unless she was black.

I totally agree, it is a lot like the French Reign of Terror without the head chopping (YET)

[Tired of Taxes]

When we lived in California, people thought my mother was Chicano or Indian, but she was Irish. After we moved back East, people thought my brother was Jewish.

One of my relatives (in-law) was German and Slavic, and she had thick curly black hair, black eyes, and olive skin. Her children say she was mistaken for Indian (as in India), too.

Meanwhile, when we were young, my brother used to be mistaken for Arabic, whereas I was mistaken for German. But both my brother and I are of Italian stock. I know many people of European descent who could pass much easier than Ms. Dolezal.

This passing as something else probably happens pretty often. What's crazy is that this woman was able to take it as far as she did.

[Amagi]

Because Rachel is delusional-black she can initiate this particular racism discussion.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

[jmacusa]

Good God, you’re right. How did it come to this? And this stupid pope in Rome is saying global warming is the greatest threat to humanity.

[GeronL]

It came to this because no-one seems to care, they have dumbed down the country sufficiently that any new meme they come up with tomorrow MUST be adopted or you are out of the club.
