Her lying about this to the NAACP does not tale away from the fact that she wants to identify as black, with all entitlements afforded to to blacks, if she qualifies for them.

Why can't she be black? Ms Warren says she is Native American, and people let her. Bruce says he is a woman, and we let him. People who are males, say they are women, and we let them use womens rooms. People who are women, say they are men, and we let them use mens rooms. So why can't she be black?

It also seems racist that someone has to be 'black' to be the president of the NAACP. I thought they were for equal rights for all peoples. It is sorta confusing.
Welcome to the NAACP

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. From the ballot box to the classroom, the thousands of dedicated workers, organizers, leaders and members who make up the NAACP continue to fight for social justice for all Americans.

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.

It's just another hypocritical example. No one said Jenner was a horrible liar for competing in men's sports when he thought he was as a woman. He was supported and praised for bravery and people talked about how difficult it must have been. But we can't have trans race because that would rock the foundation of the Affirmative action program and other liberal bases. So in this cae they need to demonize the woman until she resigns.

Is Elizabeth Warren claiming to be Native American and identifying herself as a minority close enough for you?

Her contract to teach out at EWU as a African American Adjunct looks like its not being renewed. She's, rumored, to be leaving Spokane today...news crews are out at the Airport waiting for her.

She should be able to apply for a minority women's small business loan or other programs that only minorities qualify for.
Even if it is taking it away from someone else who legitimately qualifies.

I don't have a problem with either Dolezal or Jenner calling themselves whatever, or with NAACP taking her as whatever she is, but there is a definite flavor of misrepresentation for purposes of employment and financial gain in regards to Dolezal that is absent with respect to Jenner.

Plus, while transgenderism is by no means unknown, Ms. Dolezal is the first example of "transracialism" as a social/psychological phenomenom that I've ever heard of -- do you know of any others? (Michael doesn't count). What a truly unique person she is!
