It’s been a while since we checked in on Rachel Dolezal, which makes sense because she seems to have been keeping more of a low profile since being outed as a not particularly black representative of the NAACP a while ago. But she’s back in the news this week, having landed a new gig at a Martin Luther King Day event in January. So I take it that all has been forgiven? (Associated Press)

Former Washington state NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal, who was criticized last year for passing herself off as black, has been tapped to speak at a North Carolina Martin Luther King Day celebration in January.

The Raleigh News & Observer reports the theme of the MLK Dreamfest Celebration in Cary, North Carolina, “Healing Race Relations through Conversation and Participation.”

Event organizer Al Cohen tells the newspaper that Dolezal was “depicted as a major villain through media because of her preference of racial identity.” He says Dolezal committed no crime, adding that “She only had an affinity for a group of people, and she served her community well.”

For crap sake. Really? Well, I suppose, that as usual with their ilk, liars and deceivers end up on the sunny side of the street. Think van jones, blm spokesmodel white guy who says he's black cause his mom had an affair with a black guy.................. Sheesh! Well, nobody said life was fair.

Is she any blacker now?

I’m a skinny white guy, but I’m considering identifying as a fat black woman so I can be as obnoxious as I want to be.

[dfwgator]

It’s not nearly as silly as Bruce Jenner identifying as a woman.

Event organizer Al Cohen tells the newspaper that Dolezal was “depicted as a major villain through media because of her preference of racial identity.”

Man, where was this scam when I was in college? If I could have "identified" as black, I would have been eligible for scholarships that required a minimum of a 2.0 GPA. So, instead of working, going to school, and spending most of my "free time" studying, I could have had a free ride (or danged close to one) with little effort on my part.

No, you can be GOD! Everyone “knows” that God is a fat, black woman! Just ask Oprah!

I identify as a Transgender Transracial Transmuslim Transspecies Transpsychic Transnational Transsiberian.

Do I get my government handout now?

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I’ve been defending her in some of the black forums in which I participate. She considers herself black, what’s the problem?

“because of her preference of racial identity”

I prefer to identify as a dwarf. As such, I demand the right to mine precious gems and metals from any hills or mountains without regard to your human concept of “mining rights”, and I also demand the right to drink my weight in alcohol, even while at work. Oh yeah, I’m also going to be carrying a battle axe or war hammer with me wherever I go. Deal with it!

[Boogieman]

I once knew a sweet Transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania. You guys would probably get along swimmingly.

[Sans-Culotte]

In the liberal-created era of “gender fluidity”, how can they not let this poor deluded woman be black if she wants to be?

[USCG SimTech]

Beyond hopeless is when after it is determined the emperor has no clothes, the masses reject physical evidence facts and stick with the mass hysteria illusion anyways.

[Uncle Miltie]

“Guys”?

I’m like feeling so microagressed by you I need a Safe Space and Daddy Comey is gonna gitchoo!

[SparkyBass]

Kudos to her.
She got caught lying her white *** off.
Now she realizes there are new rules to the game
and she is gaming the system.

totally despicable, but she’s unwittingly highlighting the stupidity of the Snowflakes On Parade sheep.

[Shimmer1]

If she gets to be black, just because she has “an affinity” then I get to be Hawaiian. I insist on repatriation too. Pay my way!

I think Rachel Dolezal is great! She demonstrates perfectly the whole absurdity of the "I identify as..." movement.

[LambSlave]

She got caught lying her white *** off.

Which revealed a darker hue beneath. Which supported her original contention. Which landed her the gig.

[Sivad]

If this Dolezal broad can choose to be black, if men
can choose to be women and vice versa then you go girl!
As for me, I will be Chinese although I haven’t decided
on a gender. And, I don’t care what my Swiss-Italian
ancestors would have say about it. That is, if they
were REALLY Swiss-Italian.

I’ll just identify as Whatever...then fill in the blank depending on whichever group is getting the goodies on the particular occasion.

True story: Several years ago, I was trying to enroll my kid in a certain school which was using a racial quota system to “accurately reflect the school district’s diverse demographics.” There were a certain number of slots reserved for each ethnic group.
Hmmm. Which box to check? Couldn’t pass for black, Asian, or Samoan, so scratch those.
But white? Hispanic? Latino? Native American? Our family could be any of these. If I checked the wrong box, and that particular demographic’s quota was already filled, my kid would be locked out.

I decided to call the Black Dude In Charge and explain the conundrum.
He paused, laughed uproariously, and said, “Well, we need more Latinos this year.”
I asked him what’s the difference between a Hispanic and a Latino.
He said, “You got me there, dunno. I just know we’re short on Latinos.”
Okie doke. My kid was Latino that year.
The following year, after quizzing the Dude again, I re-enrolled my boy as a Hispanic.
You gotta know the routine. And the right people.

“Daddy Comey”

How do you know he identifies as a cismale paternal figure?
