Rachel Dolezal; Phony African-American

I’m not sure what this is all about, but I’ve always said that white liberals talk as if they’re not white – as if the white people in this country are conservatives. But this woman, Rachel Dolezal, is the head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, she’s identified herself as African-American on applications for employment, but her parents (who might have some measure of insight into her heritage) say that she is Caucasian. According to News4Jax, a reporter in Spokane confronted her;
This is how the conversation went:
“Is that your dad?”
“Yeah, that’s…that’s my dad.”
“This man right here’s your father? Right there?”
“You have a question about that?”
“Yes ma’am, I was wondering if your dad really is an African-American man.”
“That’s a very — I mean, I don’t know what you’re implying.”
“Are you African-American?”
“I don’t understand the question of — I did tell you that, yes, that’s my dad. And he was unable to come in January.”
“Are your parents…are they white?”
Dolezal walked away from the microphone, leaving her purse and keys, and took refuge in a nearby clothing boutique.
Here’s another picture of her in earlier days;

She teaches African-American studies. I had a Native-American History teacher who was just like that. He had a long pony tail, wore buckskin clothing to class and tried to indoctrinate history students into some culture that he really wasn’t clear on. If I remember correctly, he had an Italian name. As Indian as he acted, the University didn’t think he was Indian enough and let him go after that semester and hired a real Indian.
Liberals. They so funny.

HEY, she’s a shoo-in if she decides to run for a MA Senate seat, look at how they elected Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren, and I’m sure she’s liberal, thus she meant well, which means everything to those booger-eating little Smurf-kissing unicorn-lusters.
Yes, she means well, and results, for good or ill (usually ill) be damned.
Looks like Rachel is taking a few pages from the Ward Churchill book on being a wannabe minority…
BTW, I’ve been an honorary brother fightin’ the fight against “DA MAN” since 1984!
If she wants to self identify as black then who are we to criticize that?I think she’s just as heroic as Caitlyn Jenner.
its early in the month yet but I’m voting this one for “best of June”
Another cockroach in the gene pool!
Damn right 11B. If gender/sex fludidity is a thing then there is no way that racial fluidity is not.
I spent a fair amount of time in Fayetteville, NC (HS, College, first duty station) and saw many white women appropriate the color, dress, hairstyles, appearance, language and style of what’s considered black or AA. They were closest to the ideal of the black woman than BHO’s wife is, who has more “white privilege” than all the poor black and white women in fayetteville combined.
Who are these judgementally non-judgemental liberal progressives to tell a person they are not what THEY BELIEVE they are?
If you can be a WOMAN with a penis, you can definitely be black or AA without having a drop of that DNA.
More specifically to our liberal kingmakers, her claim to be black or AA is more real, pure, true and rawly honest because she really, really believes it deep down in the parts of her that our patriarchal, white, old, male, conservative, repressive culture can never see.
Who are we to tell her different.
“If gender/sex fludidity is a thing then there is no way that racial fluidity is not.”
I think the official term would be “transracial”. Goes good with “transgender”, where you can pick which sex you want to be; why not be able to pick which race you want to be? Hell, take it a step further and be both transgendered and transracial. Now Bruce can change his race along with getting his twig and berries chopped off!! Now he can be Caitlyn Al Azizzi, a female Arab. Then he can put on a burka and we won’t have to look at his dumbass anymore.
Michael Jackson was the original transracial….
I’m so old …..
I remember Michael Jackson when he was black.
Now that is funny!
LMAO
I’m stealing your comment for use elsewhere.
If we don’t nip this in the bud, before you know it, she will be self-identifying herself as an Honorary Chief Petty Officer.
Well played, my Infantry brother
I am a fucking Martian.
An I’m a WORKING Martian, you fuckers have all the fun mating and perpetuating our race!
“Somebody” has to do the dirty work.
I always check every box when asked about my race. The only time I was asked about was at the DMV and I said, all of these ARE human, right?
I don’t check any of them. I make a new box below them all, write “Human” beside it, and check that. Under which I try to fit, “If you want to know my ethnic background, ask me that. My race is the same as yours – human.”
I get a lot of pissed-off people when I do that.
You like tripping those “trigger words” dontcha CW?
Many years ago I worked for the Post Office in Hawaii, they passed around a mandatory form requiring us to self identify our “race”. I marked Vietnamese and dared them to prove I was not. (ps I’m not). Yeah! Standin up to the man! lol
Well, you could have just written “human” in the blank.
Bruce Jenner is a trans-gendered woman. This chick is just a trans-black woman. What you actually see is a lie. It’s how a person feels
that counts. I’m starting my transition. I had a couple of rum and cokes for breakfast this morning. That doesn’t make me an alcoholic, it makes me a trans-pirate person. Arrrrgh!!
I believe the proper name for that drink is a Cuba Libré. Are you sure youre not Cuban?
I self-identify as neandertal, so where’s all my free stuff from the gubmint ?
ME NEANDERTHAL, ME OFFENDED!!! *GRUNT* *GRUNT* GRUNT* GRUNT*
CRO-MAGNON MAN SUCK, TOO, *GRUNT!*
You won’t get it until you file that defamation suit against GEICO.
Humpf! That comment was so easy…
… even a cave man could do it!
Who are we to question how someone self-identifies? Have a “Y” chromosome? It’s bigotted of you to think that makes the person “male”.
If people can self-identify their gender, why not their race?
And for that matter, if Chief Bernath wants to self-identify as a Chief Petty Officer, by what right does anyone here question it?
Due to Poe’s Law, I must specifically identify the above as sarcasm.
Due to Poe’s Law….
Crud … I thought that was about Ravens, Anabelle Lee, and such.
Had to look it up.
“Nevermore”
Hum, reports are that she received threatening and racist mail in her PO box. The USPS says that the threatening mail never went through the mail since it wasn’t stamped or canceled, and that it had to be put in the PO box by someone with a key. Dolezal also seems to have a consistent problem with racist threats following her with the police unable to figure out who’s doing it. It seems pretty obvious to me who the culprit is, but I’ll leave that to the police and postal inspectors to figure out. I’m also guessing that she won’t be affiliated with the NAACP for much longer.
Has the NAACP instituted a policy against attention whoring?
Are you kidding? They’d be out of business!
OK I will say it:
“Once you go ….. You never go back”.
As an “honorary brother” since 1984, I can say this one thing…
Damn straight, Cracka!
Turns out the real black man living with her that she identified as her “son” is actually her adopted brother who moved in with her and also disowned her parents.
I’ll leave you to come to a conclusion on this but my take is “ICK”
What I write next will surely be on Bernath’s page.
You are what you are, try as you might you cant change what you were born as. Bruce Jenner will always be a guy who wants to be a girl. HE can change his same, get boobs and chop his twig and berries of and then he will still be a guy with boobs that is missing his junk.
This Lady will always be white, no matter what.
No I self declare my self as not really giving a rats ass. I cant wait until I am old enough to remember fondly that days that I wanted to give a rats ass but didn’t.
I will be the old dude drinking moonshine and smoking cigars on the porch, come see me
So will the distinguished Master Chiefs comment as well so your in good company
WTF Over… This is so sad.
Is it that hard to be yourself ????
Bahahahahahaha ! ! ! ! !
For the answer to that question, see . . . well, any of the tools featured here at TAH.
Maybe she has a crush on Phil, Paul or Daniel and is looking to take Tesla out of their lives???
Hondo. I think we should should nominate this one for turd of the year Lol….
And at least the month of June Lol…..
My first thought was like others here, if you can choose your gender or make one up, why not your ethnicity too? That said, sounds like she’s a professional liar, um I mean victim:

I’ll just leave this here.

I was so waiting for that
The BBC news channel (On DirectTV) was talking about this this morning and they had on an African-American female who works for some civil rights organization to comment on the story. She just couldn’t understand what a white woman would have to gain by pretending to be black, in her mind there was absolutely no reason for Dolezal to have done this. I kept wanting the interviewer to point out the teaching job in “Africana studies” and the leadership in the civil rights organization, but of course she didn’t.
Yep. There is often an economic benefit to being in a “protected” group when it comes to hiring, contract awards, etc . . . . However, I’m not surprised that the media glossed over that little “inconvenient truth”.
It could also be just as simple as having some sort of elevated social status from being a “respected civil rights leader” or what have you.
But, yeah, you don’t have to think very hard about what might motivate someone like this to lie-and neither the reporter or the expert could figure it out.
I’m not sure that it was “couldn’t figure it out”, 68W58. I think it may well have been a case of “intentionally not mentioning something obvious”.
Now, according to Ace, USA Today has a story up about whether or not someone can be “trans-racial”, i.e. born into the wrong skin.
Apparently the.website they used as a reference is a parody account, though I’m not sure how you can tell anymore.
At least the False Commander Phil Monkress of All-Points Logistics is not alone in his dilemma as he claims he is a Native American for profit. Others claim his brother is Native American as well so maybe his brother received all of the Native American DNA/genes while Phildo came up empty? Who knows?
But on a serious note, I wonder if she received special treatment or monetary compensation (loans, grants, etc.) based on her ethnic claims? They obviously advanced her career. I keep thinking of the the scene from “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka” with Eve Plumb. And if she is acting “black”, should that be considered racist or offensive?
If so, could that constitute fraud?
This nonsense is right out Bizzaro World.
Maybe that’s someone he merely “feels” is his “brother”, GT.
After all – feelings is what matters, right?
(Yes, I’m being sarcastic above. Maybe even sardonic.)
Jonn: Regarding your last paragraph – Hmmm, an Italian-American posing as a Native American?
There’s a long tradition of that!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Eyes_Cody
Not just Italian-Americans. Remember a guy named Ward Churchill – who was also apparently “rockin’ the lie” for years regarding his military record, too?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Churchill
“If there’s a buck to be made fakin’ it . . . some low-life will try.”
also being a Native American… got fired from the University of Colorado for doing it.
Yep. Lost his job, courts refused to reinstate him (or the wrongful monetary award he initially got but lost on first appeal), and the SCOTUS refused to hear his case on final appeal.
Nice to see the justice system get one right, isn’t it? (smile)
Ward has been hanging out around Baton Rouge and Naw Leans….
Not to mention a black American musician posing first as a Mexican, then settling on an Indian (New Delhi, that is) identity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korla_Pandit
Then there was Eli Wallach or “The Most Interesting Man in the World”, both Jewish Brooklyn actors more famous as Hispanics than anything else
“Yes ma’am, I was wondering if your dad really is an African-American man.”
If she prepared for the inevitable, she would have had a ready response, such as: “Are you implying my mother was a whore?” or “Yeah, he’s my Dad and I love him. Our postman was black, though.”
I saw this story this morning in my news feed. It’s like Tumbler come to life. “I’m a trans racial white to black womyn who teaches African-American studies.” Seriously, at what point did this become an issue for her and she felt the need to adopt this new racial identity?
To me, the funniest part of this whole thing is the fact that it was her parents who “outed” her.
Sort of similar to the situation of the Italian Hollywood bit actor Oscar de Corti.
He found it was a better gig to be an American Indian so he changed his name to, “Iron Eyes Cody”, and the rest is history.
60 people formed the NAACP; 53 of them were white. She is just taking it back.
“I’m just a black man in a white man’s world!”

Stolen Ethnicity? Hmmm…….
Stolen Pallor
which I in fact “stole” from someone on FB…
So are some of us really arguing that criminal fraud is the same as a guy publicly claiming he’d rather be a woman?
Are we so fucking partisan we won’t be honest in our assessment of criminal falsification of documentation to obtain employment as being significantly different than a man who openly claims to have desired all his life to live as and be a woman?
A fucking lying criminal sack of shit benefitting financially is really no different than Jenner? Really?
What the fuck guys, what the fucking fuck…
I wonder, if she gets elected to Congress, will she be allowed into the Congressional Black Caucus?.
If she’s black, then I’m a red-winged blackbird.
I wondered just how long it would take for the ‘fro (Afro or ‘natural’) from the 1970s to return to media. Took longer than I thought.
I guess she got tired of being a blonde and all of those blonde jokes.
My father was born in Jerusalem, Palestine Territories so lately I started referring to myself as being of African-American decent. I figured Jerusalem was close enough the African Continent’s boundary. Kind of like Obama being African-American, only both of my grandfathers were white.
My nephew’s white wife was born in Tanzania. She also lived there for a couple of years before moving to the U.S.
She loves to check off the African American box on applications. Ain’t nobody stopped there yet. They don’t like it, but there isn’t shit they can do about it.
I always wondered how people born in South Africa of Boer/Afrikaner heritage – or who were born in what is now Zimbabwe of British heritage – were expected to answer that question . . . .
I served with a man who was born and raised in South Africa who immigrated and became a US Citizen. He’s as white as I am and rightfully says he’s FAR more African-American than the vast majority of American Blacks!
And if you talk about “Native Americans” to people from other countries, they don’t get it.
Basically, the literal statement of that is “American American”. In Afghanstan and Iraq, they had to put “American Indian” because “Native American” didn’t make sense to anyone else there.
Of course, I was born here, as was my father and his father. I’ve traced lineage of my family back 16 generations, even an ancestral pair who came over on the Mayflower. Tell me I’m not “Native” to America.
I don’t have any “tribal” ancestry from the Americas. (Although I did find a small bit of Middle Eastern in my heritage, which means I can say Raghead! and no one can say anything because I’m part Raghead myself. Boom!)
I’ve always considered Charlize Theron to be African-American.
Life seemed simpler when folks like this were treated as criminals and/or suffering from mental illness. Since everything has become “relative,” things are much more difficult.
Years ago, there was a skit on SNL about an Italian trapped in the body of a Japanese guy.
Hilarious.
I figure this situation is pretty comparable.
And just as hilarious.
Remember “false life’s matter”.
She is all Ho. and no Bro.
Winner
Here’s a video of an interview with her birth parents (their words), which makes it clear that she has put distance between them and herself.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/parents-rachel-dolezal-being-dishonest-deceptive/vi-BBl34gJ
Apparently, this nonsense started back in 2007, and she’s now riding the lie right into the ground. I wonder if she knows that sickle cell anemia is common in African-Americans and should get herself tested for that.
Kinda like:
NAACP is the airplane.
And Bernath (she) is the pilot.
I love the analogy.
Still waiting for the million dollar question: She attended and graduated from Howard, a traditionally black university. Did she pretend to be black to get into there and did she get financial aid by checking the ‘black” box on the form? That would be fraud
According to an article in a British newspaper, her parents said that they don’t think that she reported herself as black on the Howard application, but the Howard staff assumed that she as given that she completed her undergrad in Jackson, Mississippi and that her art had an African focus.
Or maybe she showed them pics of all the Brothers she hooked up with and they thought, “well, she’s definitely had more than a little black in her over the years, so I guess we’ll let it pass.”
I’m a lesbian trapped in the body of a terrorologist.
And as always remember “Two in the bush is a threesome.”
The more I look at this, the more I think this moocow has some mental issues.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/parents-say-naacp-leader-has-lied-about-her-racial-identity/ar-BBl1Uiq
She listed herself as tri-racial (3 races) on an application. Her parents adopted 4 black children some time back.
I think she has a serious problem, but no idea what it is unless her lying was done to obtain funding for school.
What is funny is that the NAACP is taking the high road by publicly stating that race is not a issue or qualifier to run a local or regional chapter of its organization.
Yeah. You read that correctly.
The NAACP used to be a very solid and credible organization many years back. It has been sliding fast the past two decades.
Probably because she’s gone to town standing up for their position and talked about “down with the white man!” and so they give her a pass.
Or it could just be that she banged enough people in the organization that they have to give her a pass….
Although, in her defense, it is called the National Associate for the Advancement of Colored People. And so far she’s been two colors, so I guess technically she’s right.
Liz “Fauxcahontas” Warren’s future running mate!
I wonder if Larry Flynt has made her an offer yet?
Transexual, Transracial, TransCPO, I cant keep up with these guys….
One thing is for sure, and it’s that she’s 100% ditz!
She probably got tired of the blonde jokes for being so ditzy, because in her case it was true. “Well, if I’m black, then no one will say I’m a ditz because ‘das rayciss’!”
Maybe we should go a bit easier on her. Her parents (at least her mother) should have told her, “There was a white guy in the wood pile”.
She might be smarter than us. Think of all the bennies she might be able to receive; Pell grants, welfare, food stamps, sit at home on your ass the rest of your life and get paid for nut’n. Then she can play the old credit refused farmer game. There’s another $50 K waiting for her. Oh, and by the way, don’t forget the additional check received shortly thereafter for $12,500 which is supposed to be used to pay the taxes on the original $50 K. Let’s get us a Freedom Bus and go en masse to register for the same. We can all be references for each others’ blackness. Call it the “We Be Black Tour.”
I’m surprised no one posted this one yet
“Are you African-American”?
“I don’t understand the question…”
Yeah, I’m pretty fucking stumped when someone asks me if I’m Chinese.
The cesspool created by this young woman seems to get deeper and deeper. Yes, was getting money, being paid for teaching a class on the experiences of black women.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-big-question-in-the-naacp-rachel-dolezal-case-why/ar-BBl4En2
Can you say ‘F-R-A-U-D’?
I know that you can.
Word.
And it would appear to be an accomplished fraud at that.
When she gets canned by EWU for lack of confidence across the board, and she had better have her employment terminated or EWU degrees are about as worth as much as a steaming pile of Phil Monkress, she could always head south down there to Merritt Island, FL, the HQ of All-Points Logistics.
I imagine they are branching out, per se, due to those contract denials and need all the help they can get.
Any bets on whether the False Commander Phil Monkress, the CEO of APL, will drop his fake Native American claims and pursue a fake African-American claim?
He would have an experienced teacher.
The sky is the limit.
She cancelled her meeting at which she was supposed to address this issue.
Surprise. Surprise.
On another note, leadership in the NAACP is starting to change its tune due to pressure from membership.
Surprise. Surprise.
I guess it really is only about integrity, huh?
She is out.
And it gets better.
She cancelled her “speech” at the NAACP meeting, and the meeting as well, probably under pressure. I will cut her some slack on that.
However, she has decided that she will give it primetime to a major news syndicate, live no less, in an interview today.
So much for true belief. I wonder how much she is getting paid? It did not take long for her to figure this one out.
She may say she is indifferent to all colors; black, white, yellow, red, brown, etc., and that may be true, but she knows what color green is.
This woman is a real piece of work.
A modern day “Human Stain” in a very different and contemporary format, if you will.
Sad.
If what her parents say is true, that she has been doing this (lying about and to herself) for years, she has a problem.
If you tell yourself a lie long enough, you tend to believe it. Who else have we seen here who does that?
I’ll just leave this here . . . .
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/06/16/ousted-spokane-naacp-head-sued-howard-u-for-discrimination-claiming-was-white/
Wow, she’s a Bernathian kind of crazy!
Well, I am celebrating another weekend without being murderered …
In recognition of 6 months and being murderered free …
From this point forward, taking a move from the playbook of the totally white and non-black Afro-American referenced above, henceforth and hither to, I will now take on the identity of a wee little Irish man, who lives under a bridge and is only seen at the origin of a rainbow in good ole’ Ireland.
That is all.
Another funny thought came to mind:
Here is NYC we have more foriegn Asian female types taking up billets in NYU, Columbia etc …
Many die their hair blonde (and as would have it leave the thick una-brow black) perhaps, as many believe, to blend in!
However, as soon as they open their yaps to talk … It is like the recital of an ethnic fast food menu.
Note: This comment is brought to you by me in support of Jerry Seinfeld and his recent comments of the state of PC in the USA.
That is all.
And you’re the gent who says “you had me at Asian Chicks”… on many threads /smile.
