The damage Rachel Dolezal has done
Washington Post ^ | 6-12-15 | Jonathan Capehart

Posted on 06/12/2015 2:05:43 PM PDT by Second Amendment First

The fascinating Rachel Dolezal story has more layers than one of those flaky Pillsbury biscuits. She’s the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP and a professor of African American studies at Eastern Washington University, who was outed as not actually being African American. Her years of deception came to an end after her inability to answer a simple question at the end of an interview with KXLY television reporter Jeff Humphrey. “Are you an African American?” he asked. After a long, blinkless and blank stare, Dolezal said, “I don’t understand the question.”

Chil’, please!

Dolezal most definitely understood the question, which is why she took flight 16 seconds after Humphrey’s query. She posted a picture of herself last January with a black man on her Facebook page who she claimed was her father. And she checked “African American” and all the other race choices on an application for a public position in Spokane. Those turned out to be two loose threads that quickly unraveled once pulled by Humphrey and Dolezal’s own white parents.

If she is disqualified because of her race, isn’t that discrimination?

If it is such a disadvantage in America to be a minority, how come people like her and Elizabeth Warren go to such length, and even commit fraud to be counted as a minority? Huh?

If Ward Churchill married Rachel Dolezal and procreated, it would be the first case of a Native American and a Negress producing Caucasian children.

If Bruce Jenner can call himself a woman, why can’t she call herself black?

So now it is the height of (liberal) white American privelige to declare that one is an African American?

Why can’t she be black?

If Bruce Jenner can be a woman, then she can be black! or a camel or a Trans-Am.

then there’s THIS guy: https://twitter.com/GodfreyElfwick/status/609267943050997760

So what. She wants to be black. Back in the day in the Army we’d call these folks “spodas.”

As in “she spoda be black.”

That race change clinic Michael Jackson went to might still be in business...

thank you, you’re too kind. I’m here all week. Tip your waiter.

Years ago, Howard Stern used to refer to people like her as “wiggers.” She’s not the only poseur though, just look at what’s in the White Hut! If we can believe the historians (and who his father really was) he’s 6.75% African Black. In both cases, looks can be very deceiving.

I don't see what the big deal is supposed to be. For one thing, if we let people self-identify their gender, allow roosters to marry roosters and hens to marry hens, then why shouldn't we allow people to self-identify by race?

For another, if it is so cool to have a self-identified black guy (actually 3/8th at most) run a country which is 87% non-black, then why shouldn't it be equally cool to have a non-black gal run a single chapter of the NAACP?

They don't require a blood-test to join the DAR, just proof of service of an ancestor in the American Revolution.
