Rachel Dolezal NAACP controversy

Im gonna say this....there has been plenty of testimony of her good works. Lamont hill a contributor of cnn is just one who spoke of it but he also bashed her for her lies.

I say all the good works has been underminded and her ability to do things in the future is crippled...thats one of many harms she has done.

Because they think it's harmless and she's done so much good (still waiting on some publication anywhere to provide examples) but like you and Bliss said why lie. I mean look at the interview when dude flat out asked her are you African American and she couldn't answer?
I'm done with this topic since there are bigger things going on like the church shooting but I really hope the new thing won't be whatever feel you are you are because for all the people supporting this shit its only going to flow one way and only when its convenient just leaving more people resentful and distrustful.

Maybe she should enumerate her "black cred" by telling us how many black boyfriends she has had, the type of music she has been listening to since she was a teen and more importantly her travails as " black woman" since she has been " black" for a while. The thing is, for her if she is treated kike shit because she is black and it gets to breaking point, she can easily assume her natural race without any fuss and that cannot be said for those who were born BLACK. I read in another piece how she told a Caucasian looking Hispanic student in her class how she didnt look Hispanic enough to talk about Hispanic issues. How rich :cool:

LOL. I feel for her but she is nutty. I get her wanting to be Black, but I'm not cool with self-hate either.

If she hates her 'whiteness', Ms. Dolezal needs to schedule therapy sessions with a psychologist.

Based on all the things that have been revealed, I don't think there is any question as to whether or not she needs mental health care. People often don't realize that there are many out there who operate at a pretty high level who have mental illnesses.

I appreciate her efforts on behalf of the community, but she needs some help of her own.

Being Black to you is akin to being in a prison?? I really hope that's not how you view your Blackness.

It can be a struggle at times but shit man let's not act like we're living in Mississippi in the 1840s.:smt009

Wanting to be Black and recognized as such isn't White supremacist thinking.

No White supremacist in his worst nightmare wants to be a Negro.:-P

People are layering all kinds of political and social/cultural baggage onto this woman that IMO doesn't fit.

The reason it's easy for nearly any ethnic looking woman with a tan to pass for Black is because there's such a range of pigments and facial structural features in the Black community.

We got Yaphet Kotto and Tracee Ellis Ross and every shade and type in between.

I'm not mad that I can't pass for Korean. Nor am I upset that a WW with a tan could pass for Black. It's a reflection of our community's diversity.

People are mad like Dolezal is cheating in some way.

The crux of the matter is she didn't really IMO receive any special favors as a White woman passing as a Black female.

That's why I don't really get the anger over it.

If a WW were to try to pass as Black, I'd hope they come at it from a position of empathy and educating themselves about the Black experience, which it appears Ms. Dolezal did.

This wasn't some fun thing she did on the weekends, she chose to live her life as a Black woman.

It's strange and somewhat odd, but it doesn't seem that crazy to me.

There are thousands of White folk just like Ms. Dolezal all over the country who just know better than to declare that emotionally and psychologically they feel BLACK.

It's just one of those things. I don't see how it's really damaging anyone.

And I'm one of those people who gets offended easily if I perceive someone being intentionally racist.

What Ms. Dolezal did IMO isn't racist. Far from it.
Although I do get why some people are offended.

I still think she's consciously aware of what it means to be Black from an academic standpoint than a lot of Black folk out here.

If a White woman can so easily fool people that she's Black, maybe it's time we have a discussion about why race is so important in America.

BTW I heard she's getting offers for a reality TV show!!!lol

Move over Kardashians, here comes Black.ish.ish.

Guilty as charged. I really thought it was a case of racist mother trying to hide her IR tryst from decades ago. In all honesty, I've seen more of that happening in the past than whites passing as black.
