Rachel Dolezal (NAACP) keeps "dodging"

"Are you African-American?" the KXLY reporter asked in the video. Dolezal looked around nervously, then said, "I don't understand the question."

How bizarre!

An anticipated response from a Washington state NAACP chapter leader about accusations that she has been pretending to be black has been postponed.

In a post-modern world the truth is subjective. If Rachel says she is black, that makes it true. If her parents say she is not black, that is also true.

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:

ROFLMAO. Then, once they realized they were both white they decided to go to...The Gap. I've never been to The Gap, but got the impression that it catered to "white" tastes in clothing.
 
Anyone watch her interview yesterday with Melissa Harris Perry? Rachael is a little squirrely. Also claims to have grown up in a teepee hunting food with a bow and arrow.. Throw a net over that one.
 
Transgenders are upset with being compared to this woman and her identity issue saying it is no way the same on the issue of race versus gender. Interesting....
 
I don't understand why this is getting so much attention. BBC had her long interview on the news and our 5pm BBC radio programme had one of her interviews taking up a solid 10 minutes out of a 60 minute programme. She couldn't give a straight answer to anything.
 
I believe it's because of the reverse passing being done. People are incredulous that a White person would want to be Black... even Blacks are wondering.. Then everyone gets all ashamed for this... so it's got everyone questioning the racial construct of society.... At least American society.. Not sure why it's so big in Europe too..

Yea, it's funny what US stories get a lot of attention here.
 
Race is very intricately woven in American Society.. There may be inequality and racial divide, but Blacks and Whites have been playing a HUGE part in each others cultures for 2 centuries, in good ways and in bad. American Whites are different from European Whites because of this.

The Gap caters to young tastes in clothing.

How exactly do you think "white" tastes in clothing differ from any other tastes in clothing? My black friend and neighbor and I dress in pretty much exactly the same way, taste-wise. So if there is "white" taste and "black" taste, one of us is clearly doing it wrong.
 
About the same place as manties I suspect...:cool:
