Rachel Dolezal (NAACP) keeps "dodging"

I've FOTFWMLTLMAO since this story broke. When do the riots start? I hear CVS is always open 24/7.

Glad you clarified that acronym, Davey Jones. I was trying to figure it out.

btw, I'm black....no, REALLY, I AM. Been that way all my life. :) Just looked in mirror. Still black. Not an ounce of spray tan in the house.
 
I think everyone is just confused about this.. Why.. is the question most people are asking.. both black and white.. You don't have to be Black to work for the NAACP or for Black causes. Her parents are just as confused about her reason for being deceptive. I guess she is the only one who knows her reasons.

I'm not sure I understand your post..which skirts the border of being racist, particularly that CVS crack. WHY do you think there will be riots over this?
 
I watched the Melissa Harris-Perry show yesterday and she had several Black guests all wondering what the motives were. Some even suggested or posed the question, can a person be trans-racial the same as some people are trans-gendered? Is there a race-confusion same as there is gender-confusion?

My dad and uncle used to say that. Another saying is "I am free, black and 21" - meaning an adult can do as they please in this land of the free.

I’m just guessing, but maybe Rachel thought pretending to be black would give her an “edge” with the NAACP. She was most likely making a high salary.

There is an old movie "Watermelon Man" with Godfrey Cambridge pretending to be white - what Rachel did is the reverse.

From listening to the MHP show conversation, the most problematic part of the whole thing, at least for the Black Guests was the concept of "Passing". Which is a sensitive issue for many. Rachael doing it in reverse was causing a lot of head scratching. One Black transgendered guest even said "Everyone wants to be Black until the Police show up" I guess implying that being Black was in vogue for some white people. THEN the offensive act of Whites donning "Black Face" was brought up.. Some thought she was doing that, but she wasn't making fun of Blacks... She was actually pretending to BE Black.

I believe you are right about the Job part.. I think she felt she would be more effective in her role of activist if she were Black.
 
Various people claiming to be something they're not and committing fraud doesn't make it okay for others to do so. This thread is about Rachel Dolezal.

So... I'm asking you two Black women.. do you find what Rachael did to be offensive to Black people... or are you simply curious about it.

My reaction was simply. :wtf: :3stooges: There are people at that agency who have been at the helm who have been of questionable backgrounds, behaved questionably in the past; another day at the office. Seems she does good work there, I hope she gets some counseling and I hope they all work it out. More pressing things for me to worry about.

That seemed to be the general consensus... except Melissa Harris-Perry didn't like the lecture Dolezal gave about Black womens' hair..

I agree with you though.. She needs some counseling and then should get on with her work.
 
To me the issue is USING. She is using her facade to enrich herself at the expense of people that she purported to be one of. I saw her admission application to Howard U. (a primarily black university) where she entered as a minority (again gaining an advantage over other people). She maybe have been sincere in her efforts with NAACP to help black Americans but her lies to gain the position she did is unforgivable. Just another example of someone using people to their own advantage. She is a fraud no matter how you slice it.
 
Too bad "Saturday Night Live" is on summer hiatus.

Seinfeld fans will remember the episode where Elaine isn’t sure if she’s in an inter-racial relationship. :lofl:

You need to take a deep breath and laugh once in while.
Im laughing that she was able to do this (pretend black) for so long without anyone taking notice.
Racist??? Don't label someone that you know absolutely nothing about.
If I offended you then my apologies.

You didn't offend me... I was wondering if you can explain the CVS being open 24/7 remark.. How does that apply to this discussion?
 
Order! I insist this thread come to Order! :hit:

People pretending to be a different race - this is a serious issue, people. We all need to take a moment and appreciate the work done by Benson and the Step Brothers;
