The Proud, Strong and very very Black woman Rachel Dolezal is back, BITCHES!!!

Dumb cunt ought to announce she's transitioning. The offers would come at her like a blizzard.

She never hurt anyone. It's ridiculous she's made s joke of when she's far more respectful of black people than some transwomen are of women.

i think she's quite passable, Pulled it off with aplomb, until she didn't!

R2 But c'mon. Its violence.

She sums up modern pseudo-progressivism better than the most eloquent writer ever could.

Liberalism used to focus on making the lives of poor and middle income people better. Now all anyone cares about is being the center of attention. And they’ll do and say anything to get into that center. Even lie about their status as an oppressed person or victim.

Maybe she should change her name, dye her hair blond and then she would be able to get a job

That poster of Africa in the back…

[quote]And she hasn't worked in 6 years. No one wants to even hire her as a maid.

Depressing, huh? I mean - do I look black to them??

"Rachel Dolezal"?? I thought she changed her name to some made-up African sounding thing? Nkeche-something...

Latreena Dolezal

She have nothing on me...

[quote] Latreena Dolezal

If she needs a job, she should change her name - be called anything but "Dolezal " - as that raises flags immediately. She might get an interview, but the minute she sits in front of the hiring person with the surname "Dolezal" - she just wasted her car fare - or more likely bus fare

I'm still waiting for a coherent answer to why transgender is celebrated but trans-anything else related to physical traits is ridiculed.

I love this crazy bitch, and I can't get enough of her. More Rachel! More, more!

[quote] i think she's quite passable, Pulled it off with aplomb, until she didn't!

Exposed by her hateful white family as retribution for testifying against her pedophile white brother.

She worked hard to help black populations. Stop being so mean to her.

[quote]Liberalism used to focus on making the lives of poor and middle income people better. Now all anyone cares about is being the center of attention

False generalization, almost to the point where I'd suspect Bootsy-Gumdrop is a concern troll. The liberals in Congress are currently gunning for a Covid relief package (among other measures) that will do those very things. That's the mainstream of American liberalism; the Rachel Dolezal type attention-getters (and her moment came and went a few years ago) are only sideshows.

She used her appropriated identity to the same political ends you'd hope a genetically Black woman would. She didn't do it to be the 'center of attention.' Her notoriety was visited upon her by people who wished her ill. She was a private citizen focused on improving the quality of life for Black people. We sometimes say Black is a culture not a race. Dolezal was acculturated Black. Just like in the times when people with African ancestry who did not have a characteristically black appearance have "passed" as ethnicities other than Black or mixed race -- before mixed race identity was a thing.

So much hate and treachery has been directed at Black people, particularly during the Trump years. I can't help but think that the contempt for Dolezal is steeped in white supremacy and anti-Blackness. I think we may owe this woman an apology for presuming to be outraged by her attempt to live her life in a way that does not demean or vilify Black people.

[quote]That's the mainstream of American liberalism; the Rachel Dolezal type attention-getters (and her moment came and went a few years ago) are only sideshows.

Meanwhile all across America people are getting caught cancelled, fired, voted out of office unless the answer every one of the 300 questions on the Woke Interrogation correctly. If you’re claiming that the COVID relief completely and totally sums up current liberalism, you’ve living in deep, deep denial.

[quote] She used her appropriated identity to the same political ends you'd hope a genetically Black woman would. She didn't do it to be the 'center of attention.'

Fascinating — why did she do it then? Be specific.

Its Godly to forgive. There are exceptions like Republicans.

Exactly, its not like she did all this as just a ruse to get BBC. She was an activist.

r2, I agree. She's also a talented artist, too bad she can't make a living with it.

From the get go, I thought she should be able to be who she wants to be. However the more I watch this clip the whiter she starts sounding.

[quote] Fascinating — why did she do it then? Be specific.

You'd have to ask her. You've made statements that presume motives that aren't evident. All indications are that Dolezal wanted to live in relative ANONYMITY as a Black woman. If you said Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn because she wanted attention I couldn't argue with you. This is different.

She still identifies as Transracial?

I feel sorry for her. She did not real harm.

[quote] She still identifies as Transracial?

r26 That video clearly indicated that @2:04, written exactly as "Self Identifies as Transracial"

[quote] However the more I watch this clip the whiter she starts sounding.

r24 Yes but should black people only sound in a certain specific way? Or is the rule limited to African Americans?

I watched her documentary. She's made some mistakes, but I don't think she ever meant any harm to anyone. She grew up with abusive fundie parents and I think that's where a lot of her issues stem from. I don't dislike her...maybe I would feel differently if I was black. But if we are expected to accept trans, non-binaries, "gender creative" and whatever other new identities someone has made up this week, I think Rachel should be able to live as she wishes.

She should get out of black drag, rename herself Karen and the white bitch will be hired STAT.

Someday she’ll be hailed as a trailblazer for transracialists.

She is Nkechi Amare Diallo now, why is she using her old name??!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I will always defend her for the reasons everyone else has mentioned here. She’s as much a black person as any trans-identified person is their opposite sex, and she did no harm. And she’s also not a radical transracial activist seeking to impose nonsense beliefs on society.

I don't know why some of you silly people wuv her. She's a pathological liar. They're generally not regarded as admirable human beings.

Just because she didn't mean anyone harm doesn't mean she isn't batshit crazy to create a life where she is african american and an advocate for her fantasy dna. Lets not pretend this is normal. I don't know what you call this disorder but it's similar to that woman who claimed to be Anastasia Romanov.

Rachel Dolezal’s name will someday be mentioned with the same reverence as Rosa Parks

No one loves her. We live in a time of actual batshit crazy, pathological liars who want to injure, subjugate and kill other people by way of their hate, deceit and depravity. Dolezal doesn't warrant discussion in a world with Marjorie Taylor Green. Dolezal may have been a villain in the pre-Deplorable world, but in 2021, Nkechi may as well be Wonder Woman.

Pandering to the delusional. Yet another indication of a society in decline/disintegration.

She ‘is’ nuts. Sent herself the hatemail. Jealous of a struggle. What’s the real issue here?

There is no real issue. She is a distraction. Focus on the sh*t that matters.

[quote] I'm still waiting for a coherent answer to why transgender is celebrated but trans-anything else related to physical traits is ridiculed.

Because I said so, you racist transphobic gay white male cisf@gg0t!

What money is she living on if she hasn’t worked in six years?

This was such a non-story. Let her live her life. She’s not hurting anyone. If she has an affinity for black culture, so be it. Plenty of other whites act black, plenty of blacks act white. And plenty of children of immigrants have no connection whatsoever to their parents’ culture and live essentially as white American (ie the “bananas” and “coconuts” of the world).

r37 I don't hate her but yes, she/this is not normal. Race/class dysphoria with the feeling of identities that differ from their race/class assigned at birth.

She took a Black woman's job. Of course she hurts people. Black people are not the receptacle for crazy white people who have had bad pasts. and no money for therapy. I see this all the time , especially living in the UK.

Is she into BBC?

Transphobia is calling her white.

Do you know how privileged and arrogant you have to be to take on the persona of a person oppressed by their color? And to do it to get a job to boot. She's exactly the same as that woman professor who pretended to be Afro-Latina.

it appears she has some mixed-race kids R48

Fucking bitch has more than one screw loose and therefore much to share with the undeserving public.

Besides Eddie Murphy, do black people ever really pass as white anymore? Do they care?

There is nothing wrong with what she did!

I think white people give her shit because they can't understand why a blonde white woman would want to be black. I think black people got upset because they felt betrayed by her.

What I am unclear on is if she deliberately told people that she was black or if she just let them believe she was black and didn't correct them.

For instance if someone thinks I am 35 when in actuality I'm 45, and I don't correct them is that wrong? If someone thinks I went to Harvard when in reality I went to Boise State and I don't tell them other wise, who is that hurting?

But if I state for the public record that I am a 35 year old Harvard graduate when I'm a 45 year old Boise State graduate, then that is wrong.

Why is self-ID not a option for race?

Cute sons!

All the outrage she has provoked is tangled in RACIST (not racial) politics. For white people, it is an affront to relinquish white privilege and/or to find anything of value in Black identity or culture. For Black people, it is an affront that a low-value white person who has been discarded and abused by her own would cloak herself in Blackness, appropriate our heritage and presume to occupy a place of distinction within our community.

She has injured our psyches because they have been shaped by white supremacy and racism. If you look objectively at what she has done -- pretend to be Black -- there is no actual injury to anyone other than herself and her children.

She goes by the NIgerian name Nkechi Amare Diallo. She says she is "transracial" and still insists she’s African American. She's crazy. She needs to go away.

She is an inspiration to us all.

She says that her new name was given to her by a Nigerian tribesman that “reached out to her” to tell her that “we see you and you’re a gift from the gods”. Her new name means - I shit you not- gift from the gods.

She is lying her white ass off, as usual.

Also , all you ~she isn’t hurting anyone~ posters, GTFOH!

I'm black and I fuck with this woman. She is a ride-or-die and devoted to black issues and helped fight for racial justice. She married a black man and had biracial kids. I read Rachel had a shitty upbringing and I feel she just felt more comfortable around black people and embraced the culture. I think she's authentic. The only questionable thing she did obviously was lying about her race to get jobs but other than that I like her. She did more black people than most black celebrities ( cough Jay-Z cough Kanye West cough Clarence Thomas cough Oprah).

My unpopular opinion

*more for

She’s trans black. She should be hired at a black university.

R42 You’re stupid. Her issue.

R62 You fuck with her?

I follow her on utube. She is interesting and possesses talent in drawing, painting and hair styling.'

No, I said covid relief *among other measures* that help regular people are in the mainstream liberal agenda currently. As long as you keep making gross generalizations and hyperboles about "wokeness" and "canceling" as the norm in liberalism I'm going to have to assume you're a crank.

And now there's a professor of chemistry at the university of new hampshire who's been fired for masquerading as a black woman to make racist comments on Twitter. There's a link somewhere.

I mean, these are TEACHERS!! How weird.

Meh..Pink did this better ca. 2000.

Still rocking those braids I see Rachel!

She should pretend to be a mute and STFU.

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser...

I bet the people here who are defending her by saying "she didn't hurt anyone" are white. Real people lost out on jobs because of her shenanigans. It is very offensive that she thought she could speak for black people. Her arrogance is nauseating.

Fair enough, R74. So why do women get attacked and lynched by the woke mobs for pointing out that the same thing gets done to them by men who put on a dress and call themselves "women"? If the latter is acceptable based purely on how they feel or identify why are Rachel's feelings or identity issues being attacked? There is no rational or logical explanation for why one is acceptable and even praised by our current Western cultural norms while the other is criticized.

Rachel Dolezal's transracial identity is still white privilege. It's a one way street. At any moment she can take off the tan and weave and go back to being a white woman. The same cannot be done if a black person identified as white. Even if they had a lighter complexion, people with racial bias will still look for markers to identify them [see the use of 'negroid features' on DataLounge].

It's fascinating to see how Dolezal has been vilified by the same people who celebrate a white man with a beard in a dress who says that they are a woman.

For a second there I thought that was the other Rachel trying out a new hair style.

I read her book. She seems like a decent person and a good mother. Also, if you check out her Instagram account, it seems that most of her followers are black people. She is also a talented painter.

She’s had her fair share of food stamps and welfare these last 6 years. She can’t get ‘any’ job? I don’t believe that, she could always shovel shit somewhere.

Love a strong black gal

R80 It seems (from her Instagram account) she was styling hair, making homemade candy and selling her paintings in lieu of a traditional job, which according to her book, she has has been unsuccessful in finding.

R82 ok, ok.. she’s workin.

Now it doesn't seem that bad of what she did.

How is this different than trannies? At least she's not changing legislation to disenfranchise and endanger half the population.

I don’t understand why it’s a terrible thing for a white person to say they feel black and present themselves as black, and a wonderful thing for a man to say he feels like a woman and to present himself as a woman. She seems to have been a bit weird and silly, but she seems to have been sincere in her feelings, and logically I can’t see a difference.

r86 it's offensive to the mob because black men exist. If the only black people were women, no one would care.

[quote] Rachel Dolezal's transracial identity is still white privilege. It's a one way street. At any moment she can take off the tan and weave and go back to being a white woman.

Yet she doesn’t seem to want to do that at all, does she.

And you could say the same thing about a man wearing a wig and a dress and makeup.

Maybe if she didn't have that string of faked "hate crimes" on her resume, and the lawsuit she filed against an historically black college for discriminating against her for being white, I might be able to take her "blackness" more seriously.

The moment when she realized she was exposed as a honky on live television was an AMAZING thing to watch.

Many Black people still support her, though, if you look through the YouTube comments. Blacks are not a monolithic group, despite being described as such.

R89 her skin will age like a white woman

R88 is right

I agree that there is a solid political basis to reject the idea of "transracial." Only a white person can take that "transracial" journey in America. And only because of old racial classifications used to fortify chattel slavery. So you could be a mixed race, white-looking "Black" person but until recently it was forbidden for a mixed-race person to identify as white, even if they appeared "white." That tanning lotion and afro wig, allowed Nkechi to walk alongside Black people, with the presumption of a whole Black identity, and to do so unquestioned. If a 'white' person is found to have Black ancestry they are immediately 'non-white' -- i.e. I've heard that Carly Simon now identifies as mixed-race.

All that aside, I don't understand why Nkechi is attacked as if she created this social construct of race. The "transgender" analogy is still very compelling. Why doesn't she receive the compassion that everyone (outside of Datalounge) is expected to offer to other "trans" persons?

She creates all of those intricate hair styles she sports, the braids, weaves and locks. Her utube channel features a few demonstrations of the creation these styles, this is a skill typically reserved to Black people.

I worked with one of her relatives, the only thing she ever said about the situation was that side of the family was odd.

Being odd is fatal in a society like America.

It's very, very odd a person gifted with whiteness would choose to identify as black.

She did lie and get a job that could have gone to a black person. She did devote her life to black causes. She gave testimony against her abusive brother. Her family outed her. And she is a talented artist and by all accounts a good parent. All of these things can be true. If she wanted to change her name to something that isn't itself provocative, she could. This is a duet. She can stop whenever she wants. I'd buy her art if she didn't sign it Rachel Dolezal.

[quote] It's very, very odd a person gifted with whiteness would choose to identify as black.

Not just odd, apparently it is highly offensive. The most ardent vitriol towards her comes from other white people.

[quote] Maybe if she didn't have that string of faked "hate crimes" on her resume, and the lawsuit she filed against an historically black college for discriminating against her for being white, I might be able to take her "blackness" more seriously.

You don’t have to take her blackness *that* seriously, you just can’t take it any less seriously than you would a transsexual person’s “gender identity”.

Her hair styling clients are black. She can do black hair.

I don't understand why race would be considered more real and immutable than gender. If race and gender are both primarily social constructs, then they should be equally trans-able, no? I would argue that race is actually less based in biology, and thus more easily "transed"

When my workplace surveyed everyone as part of a diversity initiative I checked the box for Native American. I mean, I'm pretty white, but I was born here and that's the literal meaning of "native". If that's not what they meant then maybe they should use "Indigenous" as a choice.

The link below is to a This American Life piece about a biracial man who was raised as white because his white mother didn't want to talk about her relationship with his black father.

Is she bi?

[quote]The most ardent vitriol towards her comes from other white people.

Really?

I will never forget this video of her being found out. The way she turns and gets out of there - she looks like she's on rollers.

Should have answered "My parents are white, I identify as black"period.

Rach has a black sibling, Isiah whom she helped raise, two black children and attended a HBU.

She does hair as good as any black person!🤣🤣

The lady is a bit of a kook. Perhaps we could be more tolerant of her.

R106 Nah.

Mad as the proverbial brush.

But then it takes all types, etc.

If Carly Simon can supposedly say she's black then I can too. I have a high percentage of Melungeon and I'm as European looking as they come. Stop it Carly, you are white, it doesn't work that way bitch.

Ya gotta be bad, ya gotta bold, ya gotta be wiser....

All the hate toward this woman is rather hypocritical, since many universities who are looking to hire more BIPOCs as a response to erratic demands have requested that candidates be BIPOC or people who identify as BIPOC. And this being verbiage constructed by blacks in institutions' seeking these candidates. What mixed messages.

She must really like black people to identify as one herself, in a way it is a compliment although she shouldn't have taken a job meant for a black person.

[quote]If Carly Simon can supposedly say she's black then I can too.

I had to Google this...

[quote]Simon’s grandmother was found to be 40 percent black, making the singer-songwriter 10 percent black.
