White people have been reaping the rewards of appropriating black culture for years. At least Rachel Dolezal was doing it to educate others.
Theres been a lot of outrage directed at Rachel Dolezal, the civil rights activist recently outed for passing as a black woman. But some of us are scratching our heads trying to figure out why Dolezals particular case has evoked such anger when shes simply doing what has been standard in American culture for years: hijacking aspects of black culture, and black beauty in particular, reaping the rewards while black women with the same attributes rarely do.
According to reports, and accompanying photos, as part of her alleged fraud, Dolezal tanned her skin and braided her hair. So in other words shes like a zillion white female celebrities. Jennifer Aniston recently noted in an interview that she needed a tanning intervention to let go of her obsession with darkening herself. She is far from alone in Hollywood where spray tans have become as ubiquitous on red carpets as spanx....

Well you get the drift— Africa= black to the libs. Nevermind the fact of European colonization and civilization from the
stone age negroids of fighting tribes and the tribal slave wars.
Whites didn’t invent slavery— but the libs would have one believe they did. All a ruse for an end point.
The African gene of “Lucy” the proto- human mitochondrial dna “root” is continental (not black per se) not racial.
Black liberation theology types like this one have glommed onto “we all came from Africa” crap. Which is what it is- inasmuch as the genome project has id’d people from way over in Siberia as separate from true ancient Amerindians. So that is indeed a quandary.
Race is just a social construct.
From first wife used to wear them from time to time. I thought she looked nice.
She didn’t want to wear an afro and it was easier for her than straightening.
Yup, that’s a man.
In 1949 a white actress played a black woman in the movie Pinky. Now that movie can be re-made to star Rachel Dolezal...
So Obama's Mama wasn't just a round heeled liberal who liked to party on the other side of the tracks.
It turns out that she was a trend setter.
So, is the contention that Black Women are prettier than White Women?
Really? Outrage? Can't say I've seen any outrage over this. Ridicule, yes. Outrage, no.
Actually, now that I think about it, I guess I have seen outrage. Poverty Pimps like Al Sharpton are outraged that Rachel Dolezal is being mocked.
Besides, what kind of name is "Rachel" for a black woman? She could've at least added an apostrophe somewhere. Ra'Chel or R'Achel or Rache'l.
Sounds to me like she hasn't totally accepted her blackness. She's still trying to hang on to her former whiteness.
How white is that?
Just how could you? It’s dinner time!
Sixty years ago light skinned blacks tried to pass for white because they thought whites had a better deal.
Now slutty white women are trying to pass for black?
Says a Black woman who physically styles herself as a White woman.
Can't make this sh#t up with a ten-foot pole.
May I present to you the writer of this screed, Ms. Keli Goff:
Then why dont black guys pursue them..?

Black men will take almost any white woman , even morbidly obese white women over a black woman with an attitude. Unattractive white women will latch onto a black man that treats her right... the same men that black women bulldoze with ‘tude and denigrate as weak.
Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast, DailyBeast. The important thing is she described herself as "African-American" on a job application.
So she attempted to take a job away from an actual (if there is such a thing) African-American just like Elizabeth Warren took a spot from an actual Native American by listing herself as such.
You're opposed to that sort of thing aren't you, DailyBeast?
If you can get into college being black can be very lucrative.
Besides, what kind of name is “Rachel” for a black woman?
See post 37
I used to tan when I was younger......and I never did it to look black. I still tan occasionally by our pool but mostly just to even out the tank top (okie) tans I get on our boat. Lol
Well, she might be an idiot, but she’s not hard on the eyes. Not at all.
