Rachel Dolezal: ‘I wasn't identifying as black to upset people. I was being me'

Anyone looking for clues to the real Rachel Dolezal would do well to begin with her birth certificate. In the bottom right-hand corner, under the names of the parents who brought her world crashing down by outing her as a white woman masquerading as black, is a box for the identity of the medic who delivered her as a baby. In it is written “Jesus Christ”.

Whether or not the son of God had a direct hand in her birth at home in rural Montana in 1977, he was ever present as Dolezal was raised by her fundamentalist Christian parents, Lawrence and Ruthanne. Life was dictated by the couple’s strict interpretation of the Bible, including a strong belief in creationism and a puritan-like commitment to simple living and harsh punishment.

Dolezal spent years imagining it was all a horrible mistake.

The ultimate manifestation of I-don't-know-what-to-call- it. But whatever it is, it has amused and enraged folks of varying melanin contents.

She’s got a more legitimate case than “Caitlyn” Jenner.

If Bruce can say he is a woman and win sawards for his “bravery” then...

Anyone can say they are black or a midget or trans or a chicken or ...

It’s a bit past time to blame mom and dad. Now the goofy is all on her.

As someone once said,

‘Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?’

So she’s back,trying to grab another 15 seconds.

“I wasn’t identifying as black to upset people.”

Of course not.

What she was doing was falsifying her legal identity to get financial and business advantages.

I was being me, a fraudulent, conniving, lying swindler.

I think she was seeking to plunder the many advantages to being black.

I can do you one better Rachael. I am a mushroom, taking the form of many species, whichever one suits my needs. From Stachybotrys chartarum in destroying your home, to Botrytis cenerea, in sneaking into your garden to attack strawberries and grapes. I can also be a Pleurotus ostreatus and attack nematodes and the tree in your front yard. Go away Rachael; no one wants to hear your pathetic, self-serving drivel.

Racial quotas and giveaways have to end... and the only way to do it is to play by their rules... Get a DNA test from one of those Ancestry sites and “discover” that 2% of your dna is from Nigeria ... then claim everything you can as a black person... go after contracts , claim discrimination ... go wild...

And the writer of the article just can’t help taking a dig at Christians.
