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

"You can't compare Caitlyn Jenner to Racheal Dolezal."
Or "transracial isn't a thing!"
The Left is all twisted up in either trying to explain away the hypocrisy, or just ignore it. The hypocrisy and the attempt to divert attention away from it is clear in this MSNBC nutfest from Melissa Harris-Perry,

It's a conundrum of hypocrisy the race-baiters find themselves in, with even MTV trying to walk a narrow approved propaganda line.
It's dawning on the liberal elites just how damaging this whole thing is to Democrats, and some blacks are FINALLY, after all these years, realizing just how manipulated they have been. Not enough, mind you, but the pushback against decades-long Democrat divisive racial memes is a pleasure to see.
Leftists have to bend into all sorts of shapes to pretend you can change your sex but not your skin color.
The thought never entered my mind. My bad.
Wait, you mean race is not just a social construct?
Here’s why you MUST compare them. It’s the same fraud, just in blackface instead of bolt ons.
So, don’t think. Don’t analyse. Don’t compare. Or you will be called a racist. Oh, and by the way, you are obviously a racist to begin with. Cased closed.
Oh, MTV, I must not, must not I?
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I’ve played the game but to my real shame
You’ve left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal
Yes I’m the great pretender
Just laughin’ and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal
Yes I’m the great pretender
Just laughin’ and gay like the clown
I seem to be what I’m not, you see
I’m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you’re still around
I suppose that if “transracial” is real (and not something just made up, like so many things the left creates from whole cloth) then they must accept that necessarily there must be “transracists”.
Transracists: self-loathing persons who project those feelings as being held by others against themselves ?
This concept could help explain the bizarre behavior of a number of so-called reverends.
In other words, only they are allowed to make stuff up and foist it onto the culture. They are just mad that people came up with their own words like "transracial" and threw it back at them.
I self-identify as a Klingon warrior. Tell me I’m not and I might split your skull with my batleth. It doesn’t matter whether Klingons are real, if I feel I’m one, they are. Who are you to tell me otherwise?
The reason Jenner and Dolezal shouldn’t be compared is because it exposes with almost comical clarity the left’s lie that you are what you feel like. Quiz on Thursday.
