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

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

They have been saying ‘race’ is a social construct for years. Rachel Dolezal was paying attention.

I thought all this fell under the same category: mental illness?

the left is in a panic as this ‘transracial’ chick shows just how utterly absurd all the ‘trans’ crap really is.

The author is an idiot.

“#transracial” isn’t phobic or racist. It is sarcastic toward a woman who will lie, cheat, and steal anything possible for her own advantage. It is derision.

It is more than what she deserves, especially given the multiple reported race-hate incidents that have now been dropped by the Seattle police like hot potatoes.

#transracial is a meme that reminds us all that people will lie about anything and everything.

But the author isn’t quite smart enough to catch that fact.

Hey Rachel..STFU.

Don’t pretend to lecture me on what I can and cannot say. You queer-race-baiting PC-Nazis have been caught in your own trap.

We are not laughing with you...

the left apparently believe that a person may be born with the body of one gender, but the brain of another gender.

When medical technology becomes advanced enough, they would be perfect donors for brain transplants, into brain damaged patients of the opposite sex.

Of course they'd still be crazy.

Mr. Jenner is a mentally ill man, trying to become a woman for insane reasons.
Ms. Dolezal is a sane woman changing her public identity for rational reasons, like mixed-race blacks passing as white for better career opportunities and social approval in the 1940s.

I often wonder how much damage that character did. Instead of using him as a goof and setting the ferals to mocking him, they could have made him a success story and cool for it. Might have been a far better plan. Instead, the idiot rapper and his even bigger idiot buddy got the kudos.

Yea Smith was funny. And he is good as a rapper such as ‘good’ is there. But we all know that shoes like that and Cosby were pure social engineering.

The lead character was a hood rat thrown into a less toxic inviroment. His friend had to be a polar opposite for the schtick to work. Also, it wouldn’t fit the agenda if a black guy who was “acting white” actually got ahead.

Lower standards for college admission
Lower standards for scholarships
Lower standards for employment
Lower societal behavioral standards
The ability to silence any criticism by accusations of racism.

I’m sure they are more. Who wouldn’t make the rational choice to “identify” as someone getting the above perks?
