Okay, let’s do this. If Jenner can be a woman, why can’t Dolezal be black?

Yes, I know that we already hit this story yesterday. Ed covered it here, while AP weighed in here and here as well. But as I watched the media coverage of the Rachel Dolezal news roll out yesterday I just couldn’t let this particular sleeping dog lie. (And I apologize in advance if this is a bit long but there’s a lot of material to cover. Please bear with me.) The initial questions about what Dolezal is alleged to have done seems fairly cut and dry at first glance, but are they really?

Sure, barring some proof that her parents turn out to be lying or the early life photos are somehow faked, it seems fairly obvious that the woman is about as white as white could be. If you looked in an encyclopedia next to the phrase “white woman” you would probably find her picture. And yes, she seems to have woven an extensive web of lies about who her father is, claimed that her adopted brother was her son and a host of other things which clearly seem to be intentionally deceptive. To what purpose? Was it to advance her career in the civil rights movement? I suppose so, though the NAACP is insisting that she could have gotten that job anyway and that they welcome people of all races.

But here’s my main beef with this coverage. As soon as I read about Dolezal it crossed my mind that there was another, underlying story waiting to be told....

If you believe her stories, but she seems to be quite.... flexible in her handling of the truth so perhaps those should be taken with a large chunk of salt as well.

My first Executive Order will be that attractive young women between 18 and 25 must wear only bikinis and high heels.

I suppose another case could be made and it brought before the Supreme Court. What else have they got to do these days.

[Sirius Lee]

The libtards own this cognitive dissonance.

That hasn’t been proved yet. Those racists can be pretty clever.

She can. Heck, she can be a black man if she feels like it.

I came out as a transpecies last year. I had to sit down my wife and parents and had to admit that I always felt I was born a turtle in a mans body. I came out of my shell to them, and now after the operation I feel 100% complete. It is a little awkward going to work and out in public, I get a lot of stares and bias. It's not easy being a transspecies.

Also our son has expressed that he is a turtle so we are starting him early. Transspecies rights now!

[Drew68]

Jenner is not a woman, he is lying and Dolezal is not black, she is lying. Simple, is that enough?

Jenner is lying. He is a man. Is Dolezal lying about being black? Who's to say she didn't have a Moor grandfather a thousand years ago? And as the article said, go back 1.9 million years and we're all African.

So the takeaway is that Dolezal has more right claiming she's black than Jenner does claiming he's a woman. Yet, it's Jenner's "self identity" we're supposed to accept without question.

Can I mark the “black” box on my kids college apps and watch the money and the acceptances roll in?

[Ann Archy]

I think she ticked ALL the boxes!!! Native American even..

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I wonder is she does "black talk", like saying "Oh no you deh-ent! Oh no you deh-ent!" while she snaps her finger and moves her head side to side like an Egyptian dancer.

[central_va]

She probably pretends she likes hip hop and rap.

America has become silly.

Look at this, she likes this........
