Rachel Dolezal: There is "No Biological Proof" I am not Black
The Social Memo ^ | 6/16/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 06/17/2015 3:04:12 AM PDT by rightistight

Speaking with Savannah Guthrie, Rachel Dolezal claimed that there is "no biological proof" that she is not black because she has not had her parents' DNA tested. She pushed further, stating that she is "definitely not white," despite the fact that she sued Howard University in 2005 claiming they discriminated against her because she was white.

“When someone asks, 'Are you black?’ which I actually don’t get asked very often until recently, since a few days ago, I say, ‘Yeah, I am black,’” she told Ms. Guthrie.

“I haven’t had a DNA test," Ms. Dolezal continued. "There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents. I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not, but I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean the birth certificate was issued a month and a half after I’m born. Certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth. It was in the woods.”

Ms. Dolezal continued, “I definitely am not white. Nothing about being white describes who I am. So, you know, what’s the word for it? The closest thing that I can come to is if you’re black or white, I’m black."

She went on, "I’m more black than white. On a level of values, lived experience currently. In this moment, that’s the answer. That’s the accurate answer from my truth. But I hope the dialogue continues to push against, ‘What is race? What is ethnicity?’”

What about the white guy Eddie Murphy portrayed in “Coming to America”? What an utter twit and so typical of this day and age of the “selfie” people that she is in the headlines.

There is now empirical proof that she’s an ‘effin idiot, however.

All they have to do is have an ophthalmologist look at her retina. Non-blacks have pink retinas, Asians and Africans have brown retinas

They go on the show for the small amount of money they get paid. It’s somewhere around $600.

I’ve always assumed when a guy is arrested on COPS and once the cameras stop rolling he’s told if he’ll sign the release he’ll get $600 and be on TV. He says “For real? Man, call my cousin, Tyrone! He got all kinds of warrants and he could use the money!”

While our evidence is all anecdotal, we still can state until proven otherwise that every liberal on earth is a complete fruitcake i.e. all fruit, no cake.

I guess we could crowd-fund poor Rachel with a GoFundMe to collect the $89. I’m sure she’d be happy to take the test.......:0)

Now that this is settled, where are my reparations for centuries of unpaid labor for me and my teapot breathers?!?

“Going by what Rachel is saying above, can I claim to be black or Hispanic?”

Or, better yet, Native American which would give you a cut of the casinos. Just pick a wealthy tribe.

Yep, gotta believe her. Next folks will say, I’m a horse and I want to live and be treated as a horse, and the wacko liberal/socialist/progressives will shout: “That is his or her right.”

Anti-Western society has lead to what was considered insanity to be sanity.

Using the terms of the left: is she trans-crazy or cis-crazy?

Good point. I as a Chinese, subsaharan black Arab believe that Ms. Dolezal has deliberately offended my people.

She stepped down from her office.
That’s something no self respecting liberal caught with the goods would ever do.
