Sure you didn't deceive anyone because they couldn't possibly mistake you for an AA.

I am a white Jewish lawyer who has worked productively for 31+ years and is now out of work. I had thought of setting up a LinkedIn page under a name like "Tayisha Washington" and choosing a female picture of someone who looked around 38, or 20 years younger than me, and using it to seek work.

I would never actually go to an interview as "Tayisha Washington" but I would respond to presumably receptive responses under my real name and either embarrass or sue the ageist and racist "employers." Sort of the reverse of what the USDOJ did by sending out phony black "customers" to bigoted landlords, house sellers or real estate brokers after the civil rights laws were passed.

3) A spread in Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler or all of them

4) A sex tape that she'll protest heavily about, but will make $$$ off of

5) A book

6) A movie (Lifetime type)

7) LOTS of magazine, tabloid interviews and shocking appearances and photos via tabloid/gossip websites

8) A shot at a clothing line (for white girls with that special sumthin sumthin that they just can't find currently)

9) A line of hair products and/or wigs and weaves

10) And finally, the true sign, that she's a pop phenomenon with a full 15 minutes of American fame: A youtube video.. a white girl version of Twerkit, Shake Yur Rump or Salt Shaker, A*s like that or Bubble Butt.

I have to check ethics rules first before doing something that could get me in trouble with a grievance committee. I'm not sure that a "shamed" law firm wouldn't get vindictive.

I think she's crazy, she should be put in a straight jacket in a room with padded walls. Anyone who has to make up such a grand hoax because they didn't like who they really are is someone with serious issues.

She benefited and probably took away benefits from someone it was actually designed for.

That's pretty harsh, isn't it? Yes, she was deceptive. Yes, she made poor choices, but a straight jacket?

Lots of people pretend to be things they are not:

Good parents and happy, good spouses when they are having affairs or secretly miserable but stay together for kids or money

Righteous religious leaders

Perfect kids trying to get straight A's, play the right sports, be in enough clubs to get into the "right" college to keep Mom & Dad happy, to win approval

Straight when gay

Heterosexual when (maybe) homosexual, bisexual or transgender

Good corporate employee secretly seething with anger and frustration



Dolezal's deception was somewhat more unique in our society, but hardly puts her in the "needs to be in a State Mental Hospital category".

Lots of folks are going thru life wearing a mask or living contrary to their core beliefs. It's just a defense mechanism for (emotional) survival for some people.

I agree. Now she has a job styling black hair, doing extensions and braids. I think she is seriously disturbed and a fraud.
