Rachel became black for the same reason thieves rob banks: “Because that’s where the money is”
It is easier to get ahead by affirmative action than actual accomplishments, and by government favoritism over qualifications.
“The Rachel Dolezal case reveals...that’s she’s nuttier than a Fruit Cake!”
Fixed.
Yes, to the liberals, this is progress.
Please. We must not insult fruitcake.
I remember reading Black Like Me. And saw the movie version too.
That story is not at all flattering to white men. I remember how Griffin was continually badgered by white men, who thought he was black, about sex. He was asked over and over if he had ever had a white woman, size of body parts, frequency of activities, etc.
Been way too long since I read it. I don’t remember any of that. Of course, it was grade school so maybe they gave us a different version.
Adopting white characteristics in looks but remaining to identify as angry black women because there is money, power and fame in it.
The country has a race problem and it is easy to see in Affirmative Action, sports and government where black gets you everything but ownership of those institutions. Blacks are still the minstrels to the democrats but they trade on it for the money.
LOL!
Sorry,. I was being Fruitcake-ist!
That anyone clings to this pathological liar of a woman is beyond me.
I believe even MLK would be offended by this woman’s character
Like the movie Gentleman’s Agreement, Black Like Me underscored some of the worst bigotry this country has had. Interestingly it most often occurred with liberals and democrats who were busy professing to be so tolerant
Indeed. The woman committed criminal fraud by accepting multiple benefits by “identifying black”. She is both liar and thief.
Diana, I don’t think Rachel is nutty. She’s extremely dishonest. Distastefully dishonest. But not nutty. It’s society that’s nutty, giving credit, jobs and advanced degrees for the “accomplishment” of being black. Rachel was just trying to cash in. I find what she did to be extremely distasteful, but not “nutty”.
But would he be offended by the particular characteristics of American society that enticed this woman into her life of subterfuge and lies?
Yes, more of a scam-artist. Crazy like a fox? ;)
Yes. A scam-artist. A low-level, low-IQ, low-interest scam-artist whose story is only interesting at all because it highlights in graphic detail how extremely and exceedingly sick our society is.
Her case demonstrates that liberals didn’t seek an equal playing field but inverting the social structure of the 1950s, putting those on the bottom now on the top.
Her choice is completely rational, given that it was the only way to rise above the bottom level of the SJW paying positions.
I also read “Black Like Me” when it first came out. I can’t believe it was over 50 years ago. I recall reading it in study hall and getting razzed by some of the kids I ran around with. There wasn’t a single black student in our entire school district, a town of (then) a little over 8,000 people.
