Here’s Why You Must Not Compare Caitlyn Jenner and Rachel Dolezal
MTV ^ | 6/12/2015 | Rachel Paoletta

Posted on 06/14/2015 10:11:58 PM PDT by tcrlaf

As Rachel Dolezal’s story unravels on- and offline, the Internet has followed suit with questions of its own. In a recent interview, Dolezal’s parents said they’re “both of Caucasian and European descent,” and their now 37-year-old daughter — the president of Spokane’s NAACP chapter — has been pretending to be black for the last decade.

On Twitter today, several hashtags about Rachel were trending, including #transracial – a term that some users seemed to define as the idea that a person could be born as one race but assume another racial identity. The term — and the online conversation around it — was discussed in tandem with Caitlyn Jenner’s gender.

Here’s the thing: The conversation around being “transracial,” which has manifested in comparisons and memes like these, is transphobia and racism operating under the guise of a philosophical conversation

What you talking about Willis....Thetas a recipe to be famous/ on the dole forever!!!

Reminds me of that old Helen Reddy song....

I'm a women hear me roar.....
With a cock too big to ignore...
an I know to much to go back and pretend...
‘cause ive whacked it off before...
and I've done it on the floor....
no ones ever gonna choke on it again....

CHORUS: (cant print it here...lol)

You can bend but never break it
‘cause it only serves to make it
More determined to achieve its final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul..

CHORUS:..

I am TG watch me grow
See me standing pidgin toed
As I spread my sickness all across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long slong to show
Until I make my brother take it in his hand...

Oh yes I am wise
But it's sickness gone insane
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can wear anything
I am hung (hung)
I'm inconceivable (inconceivable)
I'm a man
Oh, I'm am man
Its inconceivable
but I'm a man....

One of the tweets in that article: "It's not just her appropriation. It's that she claimed an oppression that wasn't hers."

Obama has done the same thing. Try again.

Perfect. Rachel would be all for that sort of Cover Girl approach. You can even see the false modesty.

Silly question: Why do one have to be black to be a leader in NAACP?
Don't they want to force Christian organizations to accept non-christian leaders and the like.
Yea I know she lied but libs do that more often than not anyway.

The trans story has moved way beyond “sex change operation.”

The new idea is that a man doesn’t need to change out his equipment to be a woman.

Wow, great for her!

I would guess from what I can see that she’s early 30’s or maybe even late 20’s.

But U never can tell... hell, I remember going to the Puyallup fair back in the mid 90’s, and they guessed my wifes age at like 23.
They looked at her. Then they looked at me. Then they looked back at her. Then they looked at me again...

She was 35 at the time.

Resorting to shaming people who perceive themselves to be other than whatever racial, sexual, gender or cultural appearance others perceive them to be is wrong.

This woman was raised with those who do not look like her and she identifies with them rather than her birth race. To ask her to be ‘white’ when she is heart and soul ‘black’ is demeaning and cruel.

She needs to be accepted and affirmed in her choices as do all people who believe themselves to be other than what biology assigned to them.

It’s hateful.

“Silly question: Why do one have to be black to be a leader in NAACP?”

There is no qualification in the NAACP that one must be black to join or lead, as far as I know.

White males have been the target of liberals and progressives for years. Saying that they are "privileged" and have been oppressing all the other people of the world.

Yet, you never hear about any of these "oppressed" peoples attempting to become white males so that they too can share in the special privileges that supposedly accrues to them.

Instead, you have white people turning themselves into women or even turning themselves black.

This sort of goes against the narrative, does it not?

So I guess the lesson here is NAACP tried to find a young impoverished black who struggled and worked his/her way out of poverty, got a college education, and became a beacon to not just black people, but all people?

But they couldn’t find not even ONE?

So they picked a white broad.
Go figure...
