A day after the parents of Rachel Dolezal, the President of the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP, said she has been misrepresenting herself as black for years, the NAACP says they are standing by Dolezal.
In a statement released Friday, the organization said:
"For 106 years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds. NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal's advocacy record. In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational, and economic justice for all people, and we encourage Americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization.
Hate language sent through mail and social media along with credible threats continue to be a serious issue for our units in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. We take all threats seriously and encourage the FBI and the Department of Justice to fully investigate each occurrence."

I can’t believe that I used to like drinking TAB when I was a kid. Does that mean I was born a Poor Black Child?
Is she doing a good job? That’s what’s supposed to matter.
“Is she doing a good job? That’s what’s supposed to matter”
If she’d been honest about her race, the NAACP’s racism would have insured that she NEVER GOT THE JOB.
Remember how understanding liberals were when they were accusing Bobby Jindal of acting white based on a portrait?
I say press them hard on this and do it now! If you are white, start demanding race-based set asides in employment, education, etc. If they balk, tell them you "identify" as black, Asian, Hispanic, or whatever floats your boat, and that they are bigoted and racist if they refuse to go along. If they still resist, challenge them to prove you're not black (or whatever). If they (as they must) point out that race is biologically determined and cannot be changed, then hit them with a challenge to their "transgendered" policies using the same logic.
They can't have it both ways. I'm truly serious about this. This is our golden opportunity to shred their idiotic delusions, but we have to stand up in large numbers and actually do it.
They can’t fire her based on her race.
But they can certainly fire her based on her multiple misrepresentations of her race, which have caused harm to the organization by undermining it’s credibility.
But she could just claim that she identifies as black and they would be stuck in a box of their own making.
She went black after watching Mrs. Cleaver speak jive in the movie Airplane
I wonder if SHE'S black below the waist.
I can also think of one other high profile person who is Indonesian Muslim who claims to be African-American.
That’s right. If a man can say he was born with the wrong body, then what is to stop any of us from claiming we were born with the wrong race, nationality, etc ?
Heck why can’t we say we are, say a koala bear, we just got born into a human body?
I was definitely born into the wrong body. I was supposed to tall and slender. :-0
That’s it...the solution to the race crisis...all whites, just by thinking about it can now consider themselves black!
Dolezal has led the way! No more accusations of white privilege! We are all black now!
I AM MARTIN LUTHER KING(and Spartacus, too!)
(do I even need to use a sarcasm hash tag?)
No white, No black, just washed in the red, that the good Lord Bled!(That's going onto face book right now!)
Me too. From now on I’m a tall Scandinavian blonde woman and no one can say I’m not!
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
I am a Pixelsexual. I have long known I was different but only recently did I realize my sexuality had a name.
I have a balistically hot wife in Skyrim. Sure, she’s not human. Or real. But she’s freaking hot. And thats what matters. If I were a video game character I would hit it. Laz has already stated he would...well, I’ll let him tell you.
But If a man with boobs is a woman and a redheaded German is black, I demand special treatment from Freepers for my imagination.
You will all comply with my wishes. Now. Or I will call you Lydiaphobes.
Don’t make me do that.
Racial appropriation.
Well played :)
