I think this story is great and I hope it's the beginning of a trend. More White people should switch to being Black. So if you want to increase your chances of getting into college or getting a government job, just say that you're Black.
This will also help close the achievement gap. If Black kids at a school are under performing, then just say take a certain percentage of White and Asian students and change their race to Black so that the Black average will go up. Achievement gap solved.
Affirmative Actions says otherwise. Are you for eliminating all forms of Affirmative Actions to include Title IX, since we're all "just horses"?
Yes. Why should some horses be treated differently?
Unfortunately, there are those who do see the horses as different because of color or gender. THAT is why we have affirmative action. Because people were not treating the horses like horses. If we could agree to treat everyone as equal I'd be all for abolishing every form of affirmative action.
its not like dog breeds. Race does not exist, at least biologically.
But Race is a brand like "Cheerios" or "Tide". As such, I do not agree that you are free to choose your own race. You are of a certain race not only based on your identiy and feeling but the perception of others.
I.e. Rachel was black until society changed its mind, and now she isn't anymore.
If that's the case, then there is no such thing as racism, no?
i respect dolezal, but she could've been a leader without changing her identity.
there have been many whites who have been part of the movement.
wtf? She just got busted reported a phony "hate crime" and claims to have been the victim of seven previous "hate crimes" (to my knowledge none are confirmed?). She's wearing 'Black Face'. Claims she was raised in Apartheid South Africa, hunted her own food with a bow and arrow, was beaten with a baboon stick for being light skinned, claims her brother is her son, shows a picture of a Black man and swears it's her Father. Every single item is proven to be false & she still maintains they're true! This is the person you "respect"? Is there anyone who you wouldn't respect so long as they told you how bad you've got it?
You mean because our confused society has shifted from the historic practice of favoring the 'Haves' regarding all that but lately has been pressured to cater to the Nots? Maybe you think life is fair in America. It never has been. And I think you are confused, blaming the wrong people, since nobody made Ms. Dolezal assume another ethnicity. It was her passion, her own choice.
She saw an opportunity top make a buck by gaming the Blacks.
What about Michael Jackson? The guy had a skin disease.
And a nose disease, lip disease, ear disease, ...blah blah blah....

Truth be told there is but one race. The human race. A black horse and a white horse are still just horses. It shouldn't be any different for people.
