Organizers for the Baltimore Book Festival announced Tuesday they disinvited Rachel Dolezal, the controversial white woman who represented herself as African American for years, to this year's event after receiving major public backlash.
Festival organizers released a statement on its Facebook page, citing reaction from attendees and authors as the reason for rescinding Dolezal's invitation.
"A top priority of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts is to listen to our constituents, and after hearing from a cross-section of opinions on having Rachel Dolezal participate in this year’s festival, we had to consider how her appearance may affect both the audience and the other extraordinary authors we have planned for the Baltimore Book Festival," the statement read.

Bwaaa-Haaa-Haaa!
Maybe Cindy Sheehan can sub for her? *SNORT*
Welcome to the long list of Life’s LOSERS, Rachel.
i think the same way.
I guess she was never the guest host on Soul Train.

I can’t feel any animosity to her. She’s mentally ill and does herself more harm than any of us could.
She identifies....
Wait just a minute here. Why can’t she identify as black and gain benefit, IF trans people can identify as the opposite sex and receive special bathroom privileges?
Why not indeed. For years, we’ve been told that “race is a social construct”. For example: https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/06/16/how-fluid-is-racial-identity/race-and-racial-identity-are-social-constructs
Just as “sex” is biological, and “gender” is a social construct (which allows individuals to chose the gender they “identify with”); one should be able to chose the race they most identify with. (For consistency’s sake — I’m not advocating anything here.)
BTW, IMHO, “race” is both a biological and a social construct. That just happens to be the way the term is used — usually, in whichever way best supports the point one wants to make. The semantics often negate substantive debates.

I love it when the Left eat their own. It serves to prove how incredibly miserable they are as people when they can’t get along with members of their own tribe.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Racist blacks have declared open season on the White man.
