DeBe
^I guess. In the beginning, I was not totally convinced just because her parents were saying it. You know what they say, Mamma's Baby Poppa's Maybe! I was thinking that he might think she's his daughter or that both knew and did not want it publicized. Then the fact that a lot of biracial people of black and white heritage and light complected black people tend to 'darken' as they get older, had me like, hmmmmm (?). I was not convinced that she was not white, nor was I convinced that she was not of African heritage either. However, I regress, the change is too dominant. Who knows? She may be doing what some man did in the 50s to see what it was like to be black and then he wrote the book Black Like Me. Maybe that's her angle.Never Underestimate ANYONE

Re: Rachel Dolezal...let's talk about it
YASSSS!!! She is the textbook pathological liar. She's told her lies for so long that she actually believes they are the truth.
No matter what wrong, foul or vile thing a white person does, there will always, ALWAYS, be some Uncle Ruckus type that will cape for said white person. Now THAT'S a pathology that runs DEEP.~Love the hair you have~

Re: Rachel Dolezal...let's talk about it
Wandering in to say "yes" to all of this.
I just can't with this whole story. It's not trans-racial, whatever the hell that is. She went to an HBCU and, while an ally, she realized it's pretty hard to earn cred, so she started lying. She picked up details from our culture and was able to benefit from those lies. Now she just insists on keeping this going.
#iCant with her. I just can't.

Re: Rachel Dolezal...let's talk about it
One positive with the tragedy in Charleston is pushing this story off the media radar. I realize it brought some deep questions about racial hierarchy, cultural appropriations, racial cosplay etc but at the end of the day, this was, at best, in the bizarro section of newspapers.

Re: Spokane NAACP Pres. Outed as White Woman After Investigation
You just voiced exactly how I feel about this. Don't care about her misrepresentation in the least. So she wants to be black. Just don't care. She identifies with us and our culture and wants to advance our causes. I say cudos to her. Don't even care that she lied about her dad. To me, that's saying that Bill Clinton couldn't be a good president because he was having an affair with Monica Lewinsky. It says something about his character, but not his ability to do a good job. There would be so many people out of a job (especially men and women having affairs). Hell, this country would have to shut the hell down.
The NAACP even said that being black was NOT a prerequisite for getting the job. So what the hell is the big deal here? So what matters most to me and the question to be asked is was she good at her job. The identity crises (if that's what it is) that she is having something she needs to deal with on a personal level.
***shrugs*** I really think we need to move on. To me this is an interesting non issue for sure.Michael Nathan White * My big brother * 1953-2011* Happy Birthday MichaelJune 24thWe really, really, really miss you!
