Who is "you people?"

I like her, her heart is in the right places, but she looks very cute with that hair and does a good job of passing. You can tell she is also white but also black. There are blacks who look similar.

Nice eyes. Looks much better than her younger years, light years better. If one feels affinity towards an ethnic, cultural group other than their own, what is the problem? We can identify with the opposite gender, but not another ethnic group? I believe if you love a culture, immerse yourself and feel connection, than that is good with me. It is not just your DNA, it's also in your mind.

Take an American whose ancestors were Germans, if said person does not feel any connection to being German, than you are not German.
No. See - she isn't "also black." This lady is pure D white. So her whole persona is a big, fat lie. I don't care what she looks like, or who she identifies with - she has lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied to a pathological level.

That sort of destroys her credibility with me.

Once you notice the over-representation in movies, ads, and broadcast news, I think a kind of mental allergy hits.

You do have to admit that Ms. Dolezal is a crack up, though.
I find NPR to be a lot more about foreign news than about American blacks.

Not only is Seth Green White, he is also a Ginger which makes him even more extremely White.

Default Know Your History

[quote=madison999;39989645]Would the naacp have let her in if she were white? idk.

If the answer is no, or that she would not have had the same chances to thrive in the naacp as if she were black...well, that's almost racist. But we knew that already, didn't we?[/QUOTE

Whites not only played an important role in the NAACP, and they were quite active during the Civil Righs era.

There's an important difference between identifying yourself with another race/culture/sex and fabricating complete lies about it to maintain professional and/or political positions. I know that proposition hurts your feelings, but that doesn't make it less true.

2. Johnny Otis - Rhythm and blues bandleader, the son of Greek immigrants.

Don't forget Elizabeth Warren and the many White celebrities who claim to have Native American ancestry.

If Rachel had not fabricated a bunch of fake hate crimes and alerted the mainstream media about it, she could have gotten away with living the rest of her life as a fake Black woman. She should have stayed out of the spotlight and kept a low profile if she didn't want her lies to be exposed. I bet she regrets reporting those fake hate crimes now.
