Black like me?

COEUR d'ALENE - She's risen from North Idaho civil rights champion to positions of power in Spokane as a self-described black woman.
But what if Rachel Dolezal is really white?
Dolezal, chair of Spokane's Office of Police Ombudsman Commission and president of the city's chapter of the NAACP, has made claims in the media and elsewhere about her ethnicity, race and background that are contradicted by her biological parents.
Meet Rachel Dolezal. She is a White woman.
Dolezal, a multi-media artist, professor of Africana studies at Eastern Washington University and former instructor at North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene, has reportedly made similar ethnicity claims to local media outlets. In recent years, she has portrayed herself physically, and on social media platforms, as a woman of black African-American heritage.
This is White Liberal Guilt at its worst. I wonder what DU name is.

I read that article. Wow! This woman is deranged. Seriously.

Fauxjourner Untruth?
-
Wow, just read most of the article. Fauxjourner is one sick puppy! Exploiting her parents' (who just might be "Fundamentalists) adoptive generosity ... indirectly disavowing her father ... she should be ridden out of Spokane on a rail, but I'll bet she'll be made a local hero for the truthiness of her story.

Get a perm, a half ass spray tan and the world is yours on a silver platter.

That would be, in a word, bizarre.

I like the comments on the article comparing her to Bruce Jenner. LOL
If Bruce can claim to be a woman, why can't this crazy white chick claim to be black?!

JohnnyReb: "Get a perm, a half ass spray tan and the world is yours on a silver platter." How true is that!
There are safe face painting kits that might do the job.
Or we could check with Bill Clinton, the first black President.

I could've swore he was white....but I'm glad he isn't a member of my race.

So Jenner can be a woman but this gal can't be black? Identity politics is so confusing. :lmao:

The further into this news article you get, the funnier it is.
In a February issue of the Easterner, EWU's student-run newspaper, Dolezal reportedly told a reporter that the man who raised her with her mother is her stepfather. In January, a photo of Dolezal and a black man appeared on the Spokane NAACP's Facebook page with the message: "President Dolezal's father announced today that he will be coming to town for January 19th ribbon-cutting ceremony for the NAACP office ... and is expected to speak at the 7 p.m. MLK tribute membership meeting."
But the man in the photo is not her father. The person in the photo is Albert Wilkerson - a black man who lived in North Idaho and volunteered at the Human Rights Education Institute several years ago when Dolezal was in charge of the organization's education programs. A similar picture was posted on Dolezal's personal Facebook page in December, with a comment made from Dolezal's account on the social media platform: "L-R: Me, my oldest son Izaiah, and my Dad."

And Izaiah is her brother by adoption. This chick is full of lies.

Crazy, Hell, like everyone else in the NAACP this century, it's all about the money.

I'm black, in protest of the current administration.
And I will resent anyone (except Big Dog, and maybe not even him) who questions my blackness.
Anyone questioning my blackness better have questioned the blackness of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson first.
No one questions their blackness, therefore no one should question mine, making me authentic black.
Not only that I was born and raised and lived nearly my whole life.
So I am authentic American black, not like owebuma.

Trans gender, trans racial whats next? Trans species of course! But then furies already got that covered? I'm confused.

While all three broadcast networks hailed Bruce Jenner for choosing to switch genders and become Caitlyn Jenner just one week ago
– devoting 48 minutes to the story in three days
– on Friday, those same networks were aghast that Spokane, Washington NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal had chosen to identify herself as black despite being white.
On the June 2 Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie gushed over Bruce Jenner coming out as transgender:
“You almost get the sense that Caitlyn [Jenner] is euphoric to be free.â€
In sharp contrast, she led Friday’s program with a very different attitude toward Dolezal:
“Who are you? A prominent NAACP leader under fire, accused by her own family of lying about being black...â€
On June 2, CBS This Morning co-host Norah O’Donnell proclaimed:
“The world is getting to know Caitlyn Jenner this morning....Michelle Miller shows us how Jenner’s public transition marks an important cultural milestone for the transgender community.â€
On Friday, fellow co-host Gayle King said of Dolezal:
“A civil rights leader in Washington state is embroiled in a bizarre race controversy.
This morning the woman who leads the Spokane chapter of the NAACP is being accused of falsely portraying herself as black.â€
ABC’s Good Morning America on June 2 began with co-host Robin Roberts hailing:
“‘I'm free.’
Caitlyn Jenner stepping out for the first time.
New details on the successful transition of the Olympic champion.â€
However, in a news brief on Friday, anchor Amy Robach declared:
“And a controversy in Washington State involving the head of a local NAACP, accused of misrepresenting her race.
Rachel Dolezal claims she's African-American but her family says she was born to white parents and has been lying about her race for years.â€
None of the network hosts or reporters ever described Jr’s decision as “bizarre†or suggested he was “lying†about his gender or “misrepresenting†himself as a woman, but when it came to Dolezal being dishonest about her race, the press jumped on the story as a “controversy†and a scandal.
Friday’s Today and This Morning each offered full 3-minute reports on Dolezal.
Both morning shows highlighted Dolezal’s white parents revealing their daughter’s lie.
On Today, a soundbite ran of mother Ruthanne Dolezal:
“She wants to recreate reality.
She wants to just invent it herself....She knows it's false.
But I think she’s told herself, as well as she’s told others, this erroneous identity of hers enough that by now she may believe it more than she believes the truth.â€
Correspondent Sheinelle Jones even touted social media criticism:
“The story quickly went viral, trending worldwide on Twitter overnight, many asking for Dolezal to be removed from her job, saying, ‘Don't talk to me about how #RachelDolezal understood/knew the black struggle when she could pick & choose when to be ‘black.’â€
On This Morning, Ruthanne Dolezal explained:
“Our daughter is primarily German and Czech and of European descent....Rachel has wanted to be someone she’s not.
She’s chosen not to just be herself, but to represent herself as an African-American woman or a biracial person.â€
Apparently in the eyes of media, one can choose to change a physical characteristic as long as it’s acceptable to liberal sensibilities.

Why I faked being black for med school
Vijay Chokal-Ingam, brother of "The Mindy Project" actress Mindy Kaling, stirred up controversy when he revealed that he pretended to be black to get into medical school. Here, in his own words, he explains why he did it.
http://nypost.com/2015/04/12/mindy-kalings-brother-explains-why-he-pretended-to-be-black/
This story drew very little attention when it made the rounds a couple of months ago.

Spokane NAACP leader cancels meeting amid furor
KREM-TV in Spokane, quoting from an email thread sent to NAACP members, says the head of the chapter's executive committee questioned whether Dolezal had the right to arbitrarily cancel the meeting.
Some are planning a demonstration Monday night calling for Dolezal to step down.
Fox News (http://[url=http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/14/spokane-naacp-leader-cancels-meeting-amid-furor/?intcmp=latestnews)

I guess the jig is up.

Basketball and porn- black privilege is real!

Liberals say they're for fairness, right?
If Elizabeth Warren can say she's Pocahontas to take advantage of affirmative action, so Rachel Dolezal should be able to say she's black to get a cushy job.
Warren played it smart & got to be a Senator.
Dolezal resigned today, but I sense either a book deal's forthcoming or an anchor position on CNN or perhaps an Obama trained community organizer. After all, she's moving forward: “This is not me quitting; this is a continuum."

This is white privilege. She knows the plight of the black man better than he!

Dolezal's parents were interviewed on Fox today by Megan Kelly.

NAACP Imposter Sued School Over Race Claims
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/rachel-dolezal-discrimination-lawsuit-786451
JUNE 15--The NAACP official who today resigned in the face of evidence that she masqueraded as black once sued Howard University for denying her teaching posts and a scholarship because she was a white woman, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Rachel Dolezal, 37, who headed the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington chapter, sued Howard for discrimination in 2002, the year she graduated from the historically black college with a Master of Fine Arts degree.
Dolezal, then known as Rachel Moore, named the university and Professor Alfred Smith as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C.’s Superior Court. During the pendency of the civil case, Smith was chairman of Howard’s Department of Art.
Quite litigious right there.
-
So ... not just a fraud, but a fruitcake inventing alternate realities to suit her fruitcakery?
In my alternate reality the NAACP would have canned her @$$ and gotten sued by her, consuming millions of the race-baiters' dollars.
Ah, well! That's not what happened. Sadly.

Lol oh wow...ok yeah, I was going with Con artist and liar, but you have to really have something busted loose in your head to throw out a complaint like that and not see the irony. It's like killing your parents and begging the jury to show mercy because you're and orphan.

That wasn't :mental: , that was doing her job as a leader in the Brotherhood & Sisterhood of Perpetual Grievance.
Egyptians were a mixed society, ethnically, but while they were African geographically, blacks were a minority.

I read the book. It was an eye-opening treatise on the social/political environment of segregated jurisdictions during the 20th century.
Whatever this crazy lady in Oregon is doing now is pure batshit crazy.

White privilege my ass......can we talk about black privilege now?
In all seriousness, I think there should be a discussion. There is a list of topics which could be covered.

Menendez brothers did just that.
I wonder what their DUmmie names were.
As for CIS black or trans black, here are some tips...
This week, a courageous civil rights champion by the name of Rachel Dolezal bravely revealed her true identity to the world:
she is a black woman trapped in the body of a honky and has been tanning and getting weaves for the last ten years whilst president of her local NAACP chapter in order to live life as her authentic self and shake off her “crackersona.â€
Whatever your parents’ skin tone or racial history, this in no way relates to your own.
(This is a tired 1950s prejudice sometimes called “science.â€)
It’s no secret that I, too, am trans-black — as is a friend of mine, social media activist Godfrey Elfwick.
Transracialism is a more common condition than you think.
Everyone’s at it.
But, when you embrace your real identity, the sky’s the limit
The trans-black community is going to need a lot of help convincing others that they are truly People of Rhythm.
(“People of Colour†is a racist term as of this week, so please don’t use it. Thanks.)
African-Americans have several hundred years of experience with “passing,†the phenomena of living life as a white person.
Trans-blacks can learn the same art in reverse and truly join the race they know they are part of beneath their erroneous epidermis.
So here are a few tips for other transracial folk hoping to pass, following in the hallowed and in no way exploitative, sociopathic, delusional, mendacious or racist footsteps of Rachel Dolezal, the most successful trans-black person since Bill Cosby.
CHANGE UP YOUR LOOK
This is the first thing people will notice about you.
Always remember that your skin colour has nothing to do with your black identity.
Many “black†people have lighter skin than “white†people.
Light-skinned people with a high degree of white heritage used to be called, somewhat distastefully, “high yellow.â€
Whites that tan well are now named “high orange,†and this is critical to passing.
Tan like a member of the Jersey Shore.
The “Snooki†is not enough, by the way:
you have to go deeper.
You’ll likely get cancer later in life, but that’s fine because there’s probably a grant for that.
Think “Florida tanning mom.â€
You might like to set up a braiding service to help black girls feel better about their hair.
Bonus: you get to touch their hair!
(As a side note:
one of Rachel’s mis-steps has been to emulate a mass of frizzy hair, since black women constantly work to straighten theirs.
A rare miss from this interracial trend-setter.)
GET AN EDUCATION
Get a full-ride scholarship to a historically black college.
You might worry that this would starve some cis-black person of an important opportunity to get an education, but remember, you’re a strong independent black woman too now.
CHECK OUT YOUR NEW CULTURE
Learn the rituals of your new ethnic group.
And don’t worry if you get things wrong at first:
you are a pioneer in uncharted lands.
TYLER PERRY
Black people like Tyler Perry movies.
That’s simply a fact, or he would have stopped making them like three Madeas ago.
By avowing your Perry fandom, either through movie posters in your home, or in-depth critical analysis of his films on your social justice blog, you will cement your blackness.
Any doubters will see these signs and think:
“How could I have mistook that person for white? No white person has ever sat through a Perry movie.â€
USE HASHTAGS
You will of course be familiar with #BlackLivesMatter, a hashtag that arose following allegations of racially charged police brutality in Ferguson and which can be at least partially credited with our latest viral video obsession:
Cops Do The Most Adorably Racist Things.
Transracial tweeters can piggyback off the success of this social phenomenon to garner online support for their situation, by creating their own tags, such as #WhiteSkinPurpleDrank or #ByeFeliciaHelloMe.
BECOME A COMMUNITY LEADER
While some might make a White Man’s Burden argument about infiltrating, taking over and “reinvigorating†(whites are quite good at organising) you know that it is cis blacks holding back progress in the black community and you have some good ideas.
If it doesn’t work right away, keep using the word “struggle.â€
Those who can, teach African Studies.
FAKE SOME HATE CRIME
Rachel Dolezal made numerous reports of hate crimes, all of which seem to have been spurious.
She even got the black community to march for her.
Outstanding!
When asked whether she had herself planted a “suspect package,†Rachel didn’t exactly deny it.
“That’s such bulls—,†she said.
Learn from this: lying by omission or interjection is a powerful tactic against haters trying to undermine your cause.
USE PROPS
Rachel got a random black guy to pose as her dad and claimed that her black adopted brother was her son.
This is seriously strong game.
In general, shamelessly use any black person you can find to shore up your own racial credentials.
They don’t mind being used as verisimilitude in your bizarre psychiatric circus.
They’re really just grateful to have you in their corner!
COME OUT WITH A BANG
True, Rachel was outed by her parents.
But since then, NAACP has backed her and she has said she owes no explanation to anyone outside her community for her life choices.
You go, girl!
Each and every #WrongSkin warrior has a responsibility, I believe, to encourage others to be open and proud about who they really are.
DON’T EXPECT A MIRACLE RIGHT AWAY
It can take a while for the rest of the world to catch up with you.
Remember, you’re a trailblazer.
Some changes may take time, practise, or a set of penile stretching weights to achieve.
BE BRAZEN: SPEAK YOUR MIND
Rachel went as far as to criticise white women for making money from black women’s stories.
That’s some serious chutzpah and we applaud her for using method acting in her journey toward #black #realness.
Root out and expose bigotry, doublethink and inconsistency wherever you find it. (In other people.)
REACH OUT TO OTHER INSPIRATIONAL TRANSRACE ICONS
YOU ARE NOT YOUR SKIN COLOUR
You are a complex, powerful, beautiful and endlessly fascinating person.
Don’t be defined solely by your blackness.
KEEP A SENSE OF HUMOUR
This is a new frontier for many people, so you’ll need to give them time to get used to what’s happening.
Humour is a great way of breaking the ice.
SUPPORT OTHER TRANS PEOPLE
For instance, I’ve sent my trans-black friend Godfrey 50 tins of Kiwi Black Shoe Polish, because I know he’s severely underprivileged and fighting to establish his identity in a working-class community in the north of England.
Godfrey’s a real hero.
Someone who proves that you can be both Malcolm in the Middle and Malcolm X at the same time.
IGNORE THE HATERS
Cis black people are likely to reject your offers of friendship and solidarity.
They are no better than trans-exclusionary radical feminists who deny the lived experience and suffering of transgender people.
Politely explain to them that you have experienced just as much, if not more, oppression than they have.
CHILL: THE SCIENCE IS ON YOUR SIDE
DEAL FIRMLY WITH THE MEDIA
You will experience prejudice from a disbelieving media.
Transracial folk have none of the “trans privilege†enjoyed by other groups such as transsexuals and tomatokin.
In general, refuse their advances.
They are only out to get you.
When you’re specifically asked whether or not you have African-American heritage, say you don’t understand the question and storm off.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
SCREW THE CRITICS
Don’t be disheartened if you receive ridicule or criticism for your new racial identity.
Words can be hurtful, but no one can take the authenticity of your new skin colour away from you.
Cis transphobes use the same arguments about #WrongSkin as the vicious religious Right uses about transgender crusaders.
“You can’t change your skin colour,†they say.
Or: “You’re mentally ill.â€
Treat them with the contempt they deserve.
EXPLOIT WHITE GUILT
White guilt is your greatest ally.
If you are ever questioned on your race by a white person, simply raise an eyebrow as if to say, “Bitch, really?†They will back down amid flustered exclamations of, “oh my god, I’m so sorry, of course I can see you’re black.â€
White people are racist and ignorant.
Say so all the time and in every interview.
You will likely find that most white people are silenced by this plea.
If somebody still insists on asking why you claim to be black when you have ginger hair and blue eyes and skin whiter than the ass milk Cleopatra used to bathe in, this is the time to invoke the top-tier race card and shout:
“Did you just say YOU PEOPLE?†until a nearby dreadlocked Lefty comes to your aid.
BE GRACIOUS IN VICTORY
REMEMBER, IT NEEDN’T BE FOR LIFE
As with Rachel, there may come a time when your new black identity becomes untenable.
Try not to panic:
this is just one chapter in the evolution of you.
… AND FINALLY
Should disaster strike and you find yourself ridiculed on network television and in the pages of national newspapers, just remind everyone that we are all, ultimately, when you go back far enough, children of Africa.
