Spokane NAACP member: 'We want closure' on Rachel Dolezal controversy
CNN ^ | June 15, 2015 | Ray Sanchez, Faith Karimi and Ashley Fantz

Some members of the Spokane, Washington, NAACP chapter are upset that a Monday meeting was postponed, because they had hoped to hear Rachel Dolezal explain herself.

Did the chapter president, who presented herself as black, lie about her race? Is she, as her parents allege, actually white?

"People want resolve. They want some kind of closure" to the controversy that has triggered national headlines about Dolezal, debates over race and identity, and put the NAACP in the spotlight, chapter member Kitara Johnson said on CNN on Monday morning.

They can’t fire her because if they did they’d be racists.

They can only fire her for lying. Then we should demand that they fire everyone else who has lied. Heads explode!

Why if there is Racism in America would she CHOOSE to be Black?

"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." -- Booker T. Washington

And it’s appearing more and more that she, herself, created the racially motivated threats that she said she received from others in the mail that didn’t have any stamps or postmarks of any kind.

Their only way out is to fire her for a criminal action, i.e., fraud, if they can prove it damaged them financially...................

An organization whose sole aims are dedicated to race and creating racial tension. They are a pox on American society.

“She made fools of all of them.
They can’t fire her because if they did they’d be racists.
They can’t keep her because if they do they’d be hypocrites.

They are stuck.....................”

Thing o’ beauty, eh?

The NAACP is an offshoot of the Nazi party. To be an NAACP remember you have to be tested for purity of race.

Whereas the NAACP fought the “ No coloreds allowed” racism they enthusiastically espouse the “ No whites allowed” philosophy.

Liberals see nothing wrong with using racism to fight racism. Amazing.

A Mourdock or Akin can say something silly about rape, and it leads for weeks. A liberal gets caught, and it's "move on, we need closure."

That’s easy. Fire her. Not for wanting to be black, but for her lack of integrity.

Problem solved.

The NAACP is going to have to go to Home Depot and look at the paint color display.

Then, they will have to pick out a color that is the baseline for being “black”.

Or, we could all just be Americans.

They’ll attack her for pretending to be black, but will carry right on referring to Bruce Jenner as “Caitlyn.”
