They have no external point of reference... their logic is an endless feedback loop of self-referential fallacy

I liked where you went with this, very Chestertonian. So I'm toying with it, seeing if I can make it 'flow'.

How did that great tower of learning, HOWARD UNIVERSITY, give a full scholarship to a WHITE woman?

There already are 89 cite references at her Wiki page.

Ah, celebrity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Dolezal#Personal_life

“...Dolezal identifies as bisexual. She is divorced from Kevin Moore, an African-American man who was a medical student at Howard University. They married in May 2000 and divorced in 2004. Moore has accused his ex-wife of lying and “poisoning” his relationship with their son Franklin. In 2010, with the consent of her parents, she obtained legal guardianship of her adoptive black brother Izaiah Dolezal, who was then 16 years old. Her other black adoptive brother Ezra Dolezal, who has acknowledged he is estranged from his sister, accused Dolezal of having “brainwashed” Izaiah into “hating white people....”

It was to avoid answering the question, “How can I, as a holder of privilege, own up to that privilege and address the harm that privilege causes? How can I be a decent, compassionate and just person without descending into self-pity and self-hatred? What is an ‘ally’ supposed to do?”

Well, no, Arthur, that's not it. You wasted all that verbiage in a barrage that missed the point entirely.

The reason she did "it" was to participate in an enormous con game in which the principal gets to cop an attitude of moral righteousness, criticize anyone she or he wants to from the transcendent heights that membership in an oppressed class accords, be rude, condemnatory, belittling, and generally obnoxious under the cover of unquestionable moral rectitude granted by the percentage of melanin in her skin.

In short, Arthur, she did it for the very same reason you and all the other progressive racists do: for moral absolution with regard to acts that would otherwise be disreputable. They're still disreputable, Arthur, even if you think you've found cover for them.

How did that great tower of learning, HOWARD UNIVERSITY, give a full scholarship to a WHITE woman?

".....................Following the completion of high school, Dolezal attended Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, receiving her bachelor's degree in 2000. After Belhaven, she attended Howard University, a historically black college in Washington, D.C., where she received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 2002. Her parents and brother said that upon applying to Howard, Dolezal was assumed to be black by the admissions office and subsequently received a scholarship from the university. Her brother Ezra said, "Because of her work in African American art, they thought she was a Black student during her application, but they ended up with a White person." Her father said, "eyes were popping and jaws were dropping because they couldn’t believe they had given a full scholarship to a white girl", although he stressed that "she didn’t pose as black; she just sounded black on the phone." Her thesis at Howard was a series of paintings presented from the perspective of a black man, and sparked a controversy after Dean Tritobia Benjamin, a specialist on black women in the arts, questioned whether Dolezal was qualified to tell this type of story as a white woman. Dolezal said she was taken advantage of sexually by a man when attending Howard University, and that "suing was nearly impossible."

Dolezal's Eastern Washington University profile stated that she has begun pre-medical studies to "engage in life-saving surgery efforts around the world.'".. Wiki; Early Life and Education

Made the game terrible to watch

I agree, I was happy when he lost not just because of his insufferable attitude but like you said his style was made the game less fun.

I believe the guy that beat him did so using his strategy.

Wow. Just, wow. She is one screwed up young woman. I imagine her whole world has come crashing down around her, and this fantasy she’d erected since first applying to Howard is lying around her feet, smoldering. I feel sorry for her, to be honest; I’m afraid we may read about her suicide in the very near future - I sincerely hope not.

She’s a very bitter person who found a niche where anger is praised and elevated and immersed herself in it.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, that's the guy.

What's ironic is that he writes an article about the "toxicity" of social media and then publishes this new article which is unleavened bile.

What a completely unaware j@ck@ss.

What I find interesting is the fact that she sued because she felt she was discriminated against as a white person. She then “became” black so as to get what she wanted out of life. So in my mind this blows the “white privilege” out the door as she had to become black to follow her path. So, in reality “black privilege” is real as shown by this confused person.
