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.

Aren’t there any whites in the NAACP any more? I thought I heard it’s founders and first board members were white liberals from New England.


The Founders Of NAACP:
Moorfield Storey, Mary White Ovington and W.E.B. Du Bois.

If the NAACP makes her resign, or the College fires her, we should send mass emails to them saying her firing is extremely “transracephobic” and “sexist”. LOL! This is an affront to all transraces!!

Ever since this PC garbage began prying into our personal lives I have marked "Native American" on any application I filled out.

I had been doing that too, but for the 2010 Census, my wife knew I was going to check off all the boxes, so she snatched the Census form out of the mailbox, filled it out and sent it back before I found out about it. (I think she was worried that I could get in some sort of trouble for teasing the Feds.)

(Thanks to 23andme, I can now prove that I'm a blond, blue-eyed Indian, just like Elizabeth Warren!)

Same here - also born in the Bay Area, so I am a native! Sometimes I check the "Other" box and leave the blank space empty.

Yeah, there are no African-Americans. There are Africans and there are Americans. Unless I am a Welsh-Germanic-British-Scottish-with-maybe-a-hint-of-French-or-Swiss American.

Oh i would so love to comment on the Washington Post about this. How is this ANY different then Bruce Jenner thinking he is female? NONE. IF someone thinks they are black then golly let them be black. I think I’m black too. I want to get racial preferences for things.

Oh, wait, It’s Jonathan Capehart. He’s an MSNBC regular, so he must be listened to and taken seriously.

“I’m a duck.”

****

Following her example, put on a Donald Duck costume and use a duck call. Because if you look like a duck, and quack like a duck, it’s your privilege to be a trans-duck.

Adding to the illusion....

She asked her younger adoptive brother Ezra not to “blow my cover” when he visited her
in Washington state three years ago, he told The Spokesman-Review newspaper.

She identified another adopted kid brother — an African-American youth, like Ezra —
as her son while perpetuating her tale.

What? No Teresa Heinz-Kerry African-American comments? A Jheri curl and a spray tan does not make one African-American. But it also shouldn’t disqualify her from her position with the NAACP.
