She actually makes a lot of sense.
Big fish in small pond explains it all.
Much like her black-loving white roomie.
I hear J. Edgar Hoover was really black. Does that have social capital among Washington queers?
Yes. Then, again how could ya tell?
We had the same rumors in my family, supposedly way way back and even sourced and documented. I finally got my father to do a Dna test and it came back zero American Indian, so that settled that.
There is a rumor in our family that there was a some Choctaw princess in our past too. Just a rumor.
My godson who has white girls hanging all over him, really only dates ethnic (mainly Filipina) women probably for the same reason TransRachel dates black guys. He wants to be their knight in shining armor.
Any superannuated Washington queers on Freep who can answer?
A very honest article that on some levels must not have been easy to write.
Interesting take on Rachel Dolezal bookmark
As a white woman, she was nobody special. As a black woman, she was in the top 1%, got all the affirmative action perks, and got lots of attention.
Not bad, you may be a funny guy.
Down with Socialist Capitalism.
To me the biggest take home message of this article is that there persists an ‘us and them’ separatism that is very strongly entrenched, and we’ve come no where near being a ‘colorblind’ society.
I think the key to her story may be her experiences at Howard University. Before that, she was a typical Whigger, white kid who loves the “black” culture. At Howard she experienced racism against whites and her conclusion was, well I will just become black. I don’t know whether she actually experienced racism there, the court case was thrown out after all. In her mind, she did experience racism against whites and that is what lead to her decision.
This was a good read. The author lays out a great set of insights that are very plausible.
Rachel Dolezal’s brother, author Joshua Dolezal, faces trial for alleged sexual abuse of a black child

What I don’t get is that she doesn’t look black. Her curly hair doesn’t look “black” to me. Just looks curly. Of course I don’t think Bruce Jenner looks like a woman, so what do I know.
My husband heard the same kind of “Indian in our background” but no details. Finally he asked his oldest aunt. Said said “ yes there was an Indian grandmother, but don’t worry, she was a white folks kind of Indian”.
My husband wanted nothing more than knowing that he had Indian blood, but apparently it was something shameful back in the day.
We have a lot of friends in Oklahoma and about half of them you would never guess have Indian blood, some are fair and some have blue eyes.
But they get government checks.
The only one who looks Indian doesn’t get a check because he said his tribe was too dumb to sign up by the deadline.
My blue eyes link me to Padishah so I get spice at a discount...
