NAACP releases statement standing by Rachel Dolezal (#Transracial)
KHQ ^ | 6-12-2015 | KHQ

Posted on 06/12/2015 9:52:26 AM PDT by tcrlaf

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."

Well, since the whole organization was started by white Communists, I guess that makes sense.

If they'd said "criterion," it would have made even more sense.

We'd have fewer of these embarrassing moments if only there were a Federal Department of Racial Purity and Hygiene.

Do I really need a sarcasm tag?

I shall hunt you down till my last breath :)

ironically, my mother’s parents were from Sicily and she is light skinned with blond hair like me.

Dad’s family was from Naples and he was quite dark skinned. go figure.

the combination led to a strikingly handsome son :) well, before the age, weight and the balding sigh

I don’t have a single problem with this woman’s choice to change her physical appearance, but it was wrong of her to deceive others into believing that she was born black.

Two of my grandparents were born black, but you’d never know it, just looking at them. They never once considered trying to fool anyone that they were white, though they could have easily passed for white if they’d wanted to.

Honesty. It’s the only issue I have with this woman.

So sex is a fluid social construct, but sexual orientation is biologically immutable, and race is an immutable social construct.

Someone want to run the progressives’ logic behind that?

Is that for real? Well if it is, that’s another example that birth certificates can be forged like the one of the current occupant in the White house.

A photo from her wedding in 2000 to a black man, Kevin Moore. The black children are her adopted siblings. The white folks are her, her parents and her grandparents:

Bearing all this in mind, perhaps she parsed her words something like... "I have (had) some black in me."

I can't believe I just wrote that....

I can’t believe it either, but this thread went out of control many posts ago, so you are safe....

That said, this is one of the funniest threads I have seen in a long time....

Just imagine if this woman were a Republican and she walked around pretending to be black and not only pretend to be black, but walk around with that ugly a@@ afro of hers, to me thats just mocking black people..like she needed that to make the story believable..the media and the left would be OUTRAGED but hey since its one of their own its all good, she is just like Bruce Jenner, just born in the wrong body

Interesting DOB - 11/12/77

6/9/2015 - Date certificate issue????

Reminds me of Obama’s many birth certificates.

****

If the President of the United States, Obama, can get away with:

1. Claiming that his father is a black man from Kenya, and

2. Claiming that his mother is a white woman from Kansas,

3. When a lot of people argue that the evidence proves that the above statements are not true, and,

4. Obama won't submit to DNA tests to prove his true ethnic background,

5. Then I suppose anything is possible, for instance, I guess a white woman can start claiming that she is black, when her birth certificate, family childhood pictures, and her parents testimony prove that says she is white.
