I sympathize with the dilemma of Rachel Dolezal, the head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP whose parents maintain that she is not any part black, as she has claimed (#whiteisthenewblack). See, I too have been living a lie. For the past 50 years I’ve been keeping up this public charade, pretending to be something I’m not. Finally, in the wake of so many recent personal revelations by prominent people, I’ve decided to come out with the truth.
I am not tall (#shortstuff).
Although I’ve been claiming to be 7’2” for many decades, the truth is that I’m 5’8”. And that’s when I first get out of bed in the morning. Just goes to show, you tell a lie often enough and people believe you. I expect there will be some who will demand I give back the championship rings and titles that I accumulated during my college and professional basketball career because I was only able to win them by convincing other players that they had no chance against my superior height. How could these achievements have any lasting meaning if I’m not really as tall as Wikipedia says I am?
The evidence against Dolezal does seem pretty damning. Her birth parents have decided to express their parental love by outing her in response to a legal dispute they have with her (#returnworld’sbestparentstrophy). They offered photos of a farm-fresh Rachel looking like she just stepped out of the General Store in Mayberry and a white-on-white birth certificate. Some siblings have also attested that she’s not black, though she was raised alongside four adopted black children. Dolezal herself has just stepped aside from her position at the NAACP.
Despite all this, you can’t deny that Dolezal has proven herself a fierce and unrelenting champion for African-Americans politically and culturally.

Is she black enough for affirmative action?
Hey Lew , better read Dolezal v Howard University.
He once tried to pass himself off as an airliner co-pilot.
No respect for truth out there I guess.
Fan: What's the weather like up there?
Kareem, after spitting on him: It's raining.
So if you fight for something it’s okay to lie to get the end results.
Kareem sounds so muslim and communist here. Lying for the cause. Lying for the struggle. Lying if it furthers islam and allah.
I identify as an Eskimo which makes me a transkimo.
Lets all be black, then we can get rid of a whole lot of government welfare programs.
If she was a republican or in ANY WAY connected to conservative ideas, they would be calling for her to be jailed on fraud charges.
I used to like Oreo’s, then I was call a racist.
Now I am going to have to give up Orange Crush?
the left sees everything through race-colored glasses.
the right doesn’t.
so the schadenfreude in cases like this goes through the roof for me when i see a lefty get caught in their own web of lies and deceits about race.
of course, she’ll survive this. the MSM doesn’t actually ever ruin the lives of lefties... they just make them uncomfortable until some new story arises to replace this one.
she should count her lucky stars that she’s not a Christian baker. then her life would have been ruined for sure!
She doesn’t need to be black enough for affirmative action. She’s female enough.
Not if you listen to "Freddie's Dead," though.
So far Jeb Bush remains out of jail.
I identify as young, handsome, and sexy. Pay no attention to my wife’s silly opinion.
Sorry, affirmative action doesn’t apply to women, just to NAMs.
