The book tour Rachel Dolezal set out on recently has wound up taking her further than I might have imagined. In fact, she made it all the way to South Africa at the invitation of one Clyde Ramalaine, a former priest who now refers to himself as a bishop but actually runs a communications company. Her appearance didnt go off without a hitch, however, Many of the black, South African students in attendance were, shall we say, a bit less than receptive. (Daily Mail)
Deriding Ms Dolezals claim to racial fludity, she was told by a member of the mostly-black audience of students that , Only a white person could claim blackness and tour the world talking to blacks about blackness.
Another attendee demanded to know, What are your daily experiences as a black person? Is it wearing braids, what is it?
She is just sick or a fraud. Can you imagine a black person from Africa being given a visa and this special treatment to go to America or to London claiming to be white and having the red carpet rolled out for them?
This is just another example of white supremacy, why must we have to listen to her?
Theres more of that but it just gets uncomfortable fairly quickly. Ill confess that I actually felt rather sorry for her. But if we learned anything from this trip, its that the same arguments which took place in the United States when Dolezal was first exposed as a Caucasian were being made in Africa. The aforementioned bishop who invited her was giving a speech in her defense which looked like it could have been taken straight from a transcript of an MSNBC roundtable.
No one accuses Bruce Jenner of living a lie, or calls him a fraud. He is celebrated for his bravery in being truthful about his true identity.
Yet Rachel is vilified, is treated as a pariah, accused of lying about who she really was.
She has chosen to self define and thats her right. Cant we just live with who she wants to be? I embrace Rachel as she defines herself, he insisted.
Psssst Bishop? You may have missed a memo over there but I think youre supposed to call him Caitlyn.
You sort of have to forgive him for taking this approach because hes hardly the first one. Of course, compared to many of us, he has the argument skewed rather sideways. If you wish to assume that Jenner is actually a woman its easy enough to begin hurling accusations about how he competed for all of those years as a man. (Thats obviously unfair because female athletes are one group which definitely does experience a gender wage gap compared to their male colleagues.) But by referring to Jenner with a male pronoun it sounds as if you really dont believe he can be a woman. And if thats the case, how do you justify turning around and saying that your friend Rachel can simply decide to be black? It just seems to me that you cant have it both ways, as much as the SJW transgender warriors who decry Dolezal try to do so.
Theres plenty more of the feedback that Dolezal received, both on social media and at her live events, over at the Daily Mail link. Feel free to flip through, but as I said previously
it gets pretty brutal.
Fake black meets Real blacks and it doesn’t go well.
Who woulda’ thunk it?
Yep :)
And African blacks, do NOT see American blacks as anything but Americans. They also laugh in their faces, when they go to Africa and claim “kinship”. ;^)
I think it was ketchup diablo.
"Braids, an old mop, some rope I found in the shed, whatever. Fight the power!"
Part of me wants to feel sorry for her but then she always says something so wacky I can’t.
You know she is seriously mentally ill because she honestly believes this lunacy. Saw some of her Dr Phil interview. Very very disturbed person.
LOL
She should’ve gone on tour with Vanilla Ice.
I’ll just say I’m trans-racial and identify as a Mexican. Then the welfare will flow my way!
“Thats the LUXURY of a wealthy and, to be honest, degenerate culture like ours.”
OMG! The LUXURY to complain and whine about this stupidity?
You totally nailed it!
‘White Girl Problems 101’
Fock Dat Shiite! LOL!
Playboy wants her, but she says she is not ‘that type’ of woman.
Ya know; she does have the wide nose some blacks have. Maybe that’s what got her to thinking she was black. Now a normal (white) person would consider a nose job to correct the abnormally large nose for her face but not this one. Uh uh. Nope. She comes up with a plan to become black and even rise within a prominent black organization to become the head of it. Wasn’t it the NAACP or something. That’s right; the chapter in Spokane, WA until it was revealed she was born a poor white girl then she be gone.
Imagine the effort it took for her to keep up this ruse. The skin dye, the hair weaves, the clothes, everything. That had to cost a lot of money to keep up this appearance of being a light skinned black person. I believe somewhere in that disturbed mind of hers she truly does identify as being black. She really wants to be black and did everything she could possibly do to be a part of that world where, frankly, whites are not allowed to go.
Now she’s been sent adrift on a life boat all by herself while the rest of the cruise ship (the world) continues on without her so now she has no idea what to do. She is or will be shunned by both blacks and whites at this point for lying to both for different reasons. I feel some empathy for her but she has had her 15 minutes and it’s time to never hear about her again IMHO. She needs to go find a job at a diner or something and get on with her life without trying to be relevant in the media. This may be a good time for her to get that nose job and change her appearance to become that poor white girl again...
In an interview she said she was “too black for her African American husband”</i>, maybe she had the same problem in Africa itself. Maybe she’s on the cusp of inventing a new blacker than black race.
Best thread of the week !! I am LoLing and RoFLing!
She can always write a new tome, “Black Like Me Part Two.”
[National Association of Always Complaining People]
Now THAT’S good. LOL
Must be one of those *Dummie* books, though. :)
