Rachel Dolezal; still a fake
Andy11M sends us a link to Vanity Fair about that woman, Rachel Dolezal, who pretended to be a black woman.
Dolezal was knocked off the front page by the murders in Charleston. She was big news back then, if you can remember back that far, and you would think that she’d be ready to put it all behind her and start acting like herself. Well, you’d think that if you hadn’t seen so many stolen valor phonies who won’t admit that they’ve been lying to friends and family for years.
Dolezal’s claim on black womanhood still seems to be non-negotiable. Even in conversation with an actual black woman on the other end of the line or sitting in her cozy home, Dolezal unequivocally identifies as black. (Never mind the ancestry.com heritage test that arrived on her doorstep the day I visited.)
Dolezal spent years researching and then perfectly molding her black identity. She commands an impressive knowledge of African American literature, its writers, and the history of the Civil Rights movement. She attended graduate school at the historically black Howard University (where, The Smoking Gun reported, she unsuccessfully sued for being discriminated against because she was white). She is an expert in black hair, both as a practical matter and as a subject of academic inquiry. She makes it clear she doesn’t plan on altering the way she presents herself anytime soon.
“It’s taken my entire life to negotiate how to identify, and I’ve done a lot of research and a lot of studying,” she says. “I could have a long conversation, an academic conversation about that. I don’t know. I just feel like I didn’t mislead anybody; I didn’t deceive anybody. If people feel misled or deceived, then sorry that they feel that way, but I believe that’s more due to their definition and construct of race in their own minds than it is to my integrity or honesty, because I wouldn’t say I’m African American, but I would say I’m black, and there’s a difference in those terms.”
I get emails quite frequently from graduate students who want to drill down into these liars’ heads to find out why they do what they do. There’s an entire psychology textbook full of material waiting for someone on the subject of pretending to be something that you aren’t, right there in Dolezal’s carefully coiffed noggin.
But, to some people what you are, rather than who you are is the most important thing.

Damn I deleted all of my Memes on Wack job here 🙁
Well, geez, Skippy, get some more, willya?
I like this part: She attended graduate school at the historically black Howard University (where, The Smoking Gun reported, she unsuccessfully sued for being discriminated against because she was white).
Ah, the old vexatious litigant raises its head!
I think it’s what you do with your life that is most important. You can make something worthwhile of it, or you can make a constant and compleat ass of yourself and waste whatever gifts you were given to use, as we have seen with several discoveries appearing on TAH.
Carry on!
I’ve managed to steal two memes. That enough for prosperity my 2 and a half year old daughter will never believe it when she turn 16 LMAO ! ! ! !
Although not a grad student of any kind, I am one of those folks who would love to spend a few hours questioning some of these folks to try and untwist their psyche and understand the underlying causes… however, I have a life, so I will just continue to lurk about here at TAH and try to imagine the reasons for myself. For starters, one of the common links, at least in my mind, between this faker and the SV fakers that we focus on here, is the Church of The Infallible Victimhood that is taking over our nation. Our society has elevated victimhood to such an extent that people who are missing something in their self-image are drawn to replace it by joining an identified victim group. An easy one is the Veteran Victim – the poor hero wronged by his Nation and her people… Another is the Minority Victim – discriminated against at every turn. By joining a Victim Category, the person finds a couple of things to boost his\her self-image: Someone\thing to blame for anything bad that has\will happen in their lives. An immediate support group composed of the many people dedicated to helping the members of that particular Victim Category. An identity – the constant use of Disabled Veteran and its many variations is a perfect example. This is why a certain story on this blog featured a guy listing his medical conditions (including incontinence?!?) on a dating profile, and a not-a-CPO, barely (if at all) a lawyer (disbarred) who proudly proclaims to the world that he must catheterize himself several times a day. The unspoken message is: “Look at me! I can do no wrong, for I am a victim! I don’t need to engage in any difficult self-evaluation or self-improvement, for all negative things that happen in my life are nothing more than another fact of life for Victims like myself. You may not question me or my values, beliefs, or actions, for I am a victim and am above reproach!” (Disclaimer: The reference to Veteran Victims above should not be read as being… Read more »
Spot on! Yes, I like that phrase “church of the infallible victim.”
Also explains why there are so many phony POWs.
At first you might be perplexed that people would be so anxious to claim they were imprisoned – it’s not like serving time in the State Pen is considered something honorable or admirable, at least among most of us who are relatively normal.
You would think instead that people would want to claim to be a badass Green Beret or Ranger or Marine Recon Sniper or SEAL who fought and kicked the enemy’s butt.
But the awesome thing about being a POW is that you get to play both “hero” AND “victim” at the same time. The POW, like the wounded soldier, is the ultimate “Hero/Victim”, who can excuse all of his bad behavior based on what was done to him, and he himself is blameless in all of it.
Sorry to necro an old thread AND reply to myself at the same time, but I found this article this morning and thought it relevant: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/08/19/why-do-people-imitate-oppressed-minorities/
This woman has made it impossible for me to discipline my puppy. He self identifies as a good dog, I don’t know if I’m allowed to question that.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
You’ve won the internet today. Well played!
Maybe ESPN will give her the Arthur Ashe award for being a courageous trans-racial woman in a world full of racial haters…
Word.
I self identify as a porn star, the problem is convincing my SO that getting twenty somethings to fellate me is all part of the job and I have to do it each day in order to get paid and keep her in the style she’s become accustomed to…
I self identify as a woman on ladie’s night to take advantage of the discounted drink.
Then switch on men’s night to do the same.
Aint’ life grand?
I self identify as A Proud Infidel®™, a poser-hating, Old School-raised grizzled [CENSORED] year old Vet that likes to treat people with respect and dignity until they give me a reason not to, one who will really enjoy returning a favor or kind deed as well as throwing shit right back to the person who threw it at me while I enjoy the brawl!
Bernasty self identifies as a CPO, pilot, lawyer, decent person…
sj..stop picking on BERNATH, its my turn. I can start sharing his, Dallass and the other lapdogs emails. Via special investigators last email I’m in the MILITARY, COMMITTING INCEST WITH MY SON (who wants to beat him to a pulp)live in Clearwater, BERNASTYS STOMPING GROUNDS, yet still doesn’t know my sex. All of August he’ll be at The California Bar on Figueroa St in Los Angeles. Anybody think he can identify me on the first day? Just to make it harder (no not his tiny dick) we decided to invite three men and women to sit in the courtroom. Suits for the men, Attorney clothes for the ladies. Asswipe will be sweating and stumbling over his words. THERE IS NO DEFENSE FOR WHAT HE DID…
Daniel A. Bernath is CHIEF PIVOT MAN of The Dutch Rudder Gang!
I self-identify as being happy with who and what I am.
My cat, on the other hand, self-identifies in his sleep as a large cougar.
You, too? 🙂
I self identify as a wolf https://youtu.be/LtH7l-dhHZQ
I self identify as Amouhtek, an Incan Warrior God instead of an old bald fat white guy living vicariously through his laptop computer…
This woman is either mentally ill, a congenital liar, or both. She also isn’t helping her apparent cause. I think she needs to be removed from polite society. Credibility = zero.
“I wouldn’t say I’m African American, but I would say I’m black”
Technically she is probably right since Slick Willie is the first black president, and we know that he always tells the truth! wink, wink.
A lot of REAL “African Americans” are White descendants of English and/or Dutch.
We never see any reports about them in the news media because:
(01)- The news media is blatantly biased in their reporting of racial issues.
(02) – These AUTHENTIC African Americans don’t commit violent felonies on a regular and frequent schedule, and don’t go around broadcasting their hatred and resentment of everybody else.
I served overseas with a fellow Warrior who immigrated to the USA from South Africa. He’s White and calls himself MORE African-American than ANY black person born and raised in the U.S. , I loved watching some peoples’ heads spin when he played that head game on them!
When I was a DI we had a recruit in our series who was from South Africa.
He was locked on and ended up being his platoon’s honor grad. I can’t recall exactly how he identified himself.
We had a series gunny who was a race baiter…. When we were doing weapons training the kid pretty much stumped him on what an “African” was.
Finally got my meal ticket! Opening soon; Jarhead’s Discount Lobotomy and Tranny Repair. Through all of August, buy one, get one free. Got a problem with being a white female? We can help! In no time you’ll be the Ray Charles of your imaginary world. Specializing in afros for zeroes. Ain’t nobody going to say s__t about your customized blackness after we get done with you. Former doubters will be calling you “Suh” on a moment’s notice. Envious of Mr. Brucie? Fear no more, when we are done, a Subway 12 incher will look like a snack. Mr. Cosby will be calling you Daddy. The lobotomy will have you convinced that you are the only black person on this planet. Coal will be wishing it were you. Come take advantage of our special while the ink pot is still full, and our diamond-tipped drills are sharp and ready. Think you have seen blackness? Nope, you’ll have a race of your own. We just haven’t figured out a name for it yet. Extra-Black seems to be a good starting point.
I self-identify as me. If you don’t like it, stuff it.
I self-identify as me! You can’t be me, because I’m me!

“I used to be somebody, but now I am somebody else. Who I’ll be tomorrow, is anybody’s guess.” – Crazy Heart
False life’s matter!
After reading her cute little explanation, all I can say is: can she really be that deluded?
According to a certain really noisy group, her statement is supposed to
make sense
describe a desirable state
make the rest of us feel bad because we cannot be that … something
be more relevant than the Bible, Torah, Koran, etc.
describe a person who we should all aspire to be.
For my part, I identify as a grouchy old fart who thinks that woman is (a) a poor representative of her gender, (b) a poor representative of her age group, and (c) crazy as a shithouse rat. Has there been a recent outbreak of hydrophobia? ’cause there are some seriously odd people in the press lately.
Girl, you ain’t that high.
“She commands an impressive knowledge of…..”.
She doesn’t command shit. I work with a bunch of folks who command an impressive knowledge of outer space (Pluto’s New Horizons being one of ours) but it doesn’t make those guys space aliens.
But at least she’s an expert in black hair…
She has that going for her, which is
D’oh! Please add “nice” to the post above. Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.
“But at least she’s an expert in black hair…”
Almost sounds like me when I say I’m an expert in knuckle skin.
Or ear wax, or toenail jam, or nostril hair, list goes on…
Point is — stake out your claim on something nobody would think to lay claim to… and it’s yours.
A white woman with a fake tan and fake hair is still a white woman. Exactly the same way a polished gold painted turd is still a turd.
I see her as less intelligent, competent, competent, coherent, and sane as the character Steve Martin played in “The Jerk”. What’s next, will she claim that her upbringing was the same as if her folks were poor black sharecroppers in Mississippi sixty years ago? It would make as much sense as every other claim she’s made. I tend to see her as a blonde ditzier than Debbie Washedallup Schluz with an extreme identity crisis and a penchant for attention whoring!
I was born a poor black child.
… and nobody can take that away from you.
Getting very tired of this country displaying it’s nuts so proudly. This one is just a garden variety loony lefty so it’s all good. We WILL celebrate her delusions – ya know, because, like, it’s FAIR.
Acceptance is not enough. You must CELEBRATE the delusions of others.
See? Wasn’t that easy?
Howard stuck it to her and the NAACP showed her the door.
That speaks volumes.
She is a fraud that got caught and is trying to ooze out of it.
Talk about self-alienation. She ruined her life and probably those of her kids.
The poster child of what not to do.
Curious as to what Vanilla Ice thinks about this?
I am more concerned as to what Vanilla Ice Cream thinks.
Don’t expect the Left to champion this case. Her little stunt is an embarrassment to the “White Privilege” narrative, and thus to the left as a whole.
Under the bus she goes!
Well, that comment is racist! She will tell you that the NAACP sent her to the back of the bus, not under the bus.
National Association for the Advancement of CONFUSED People??
She attended a historically black college and sued them for racial discrimination, hell, that’s like buying an airplane, then crash landing it because you ran it out of fuel and then suing the plane’s manufacturer!
If Dan had a daughter…
I’ve heard that he actually does, and that she’s also pretty much disowned him, I heard that that the plane Bernath wrecked was purchased and registered in her name!
Birdbath has at least one child, probably more.
Anyone ever wonder why his website is titled “ASpecialDay”?
Originally the site was supposed to be for his daughter’s wedding photographer business.
For some reason he decided to use it for his own display of buffoonery.
She needs to check her white privilege. . .
Chinaman here. My great-great-grandfather helped build a railroad. My great-grandfather opened a laundry when he was just 15. My grandfather was an opium addict. I am owed reparations or something.
So here’s your reparations Mr. Chang. One free box car ride to Wun Hung Low’s Village laundry where you can still lay on the flat beds in the back room and fry your brains. Only today we substitute crack for opium. Then you change your name to Crak Ho Low.
Now that’s just Lo Blo Bro…
Does that come with a free dish of Wat da Fuk?
Just as long as it isn’t made with Cream of Sum Yung Guy…
Hundreds of years from now when archeologists dig up her bones, she’ll be clasified as a Caucasian female, and Bruce Jenner will be classified as a Caucasian male. There’s not much that either can do about it.
Yup! Biology 101.
Next they’ll be calling their DNA “racist” and/or “trans-phobic”!
As a Celtic-Teutonic hybrid, I take exception to being labelled “Caucasian.” I ain’t a fucking Russian!
I self identify as a Scandinavian porn star with a Jag. My johnson is so huge that young nubile Scandinavian winches wince in pain when they see it. But, as they drive into my Maryland estate, they see the trappings of power: the broken mailbox is really a intel drop signal. Likewise the Jag on blocks. All to lure the foreign intel guys into my web.
They also see my security detail (SLURpManWinDowLickerPussyassLeg) and my crack legal team of Bernasty and Bernasty and feel secure.
That is how I self identify.
This blog is transracialphobic. If you can change your gender, why can’t you change your race?
My uncle used to race dragsters before switching to stockcars…does that count?
You have just insulted all the “Drag Queens” and will now be ostracized for the rest of your life !!!
If horse racing is the sport of kings… is drag racing the sport of queens?
Academic expert on the subject of “black hair”? Makes me wonder if the carpet matches the curtains. Is “black hair” really a field of study? Can I be an academic expert on the subject of female pubic hair?
I did manage to find some video of her from the time that she was married: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvbr0tUmJR8
It sounds like a dissertation topic to me. I guess that she needs to head back to Howard for that PhD.
Being an “Academic Expert on Black Hair” sounds about as useful as a PhD Degree in Chinese Politics!
‘academic expert on black hair’ – yeah, I can read the ingredients on a L’Oreal label, too.
She stole her hairstyle from Sideshow Bob.
#CartoonLivesMatter
I don’t know……
If I look at it long enough, I can hear Jimi Hendrix riffing in the background.
hey, Sideshow Bob was a Bandido in Houston..
She like an actor that went into character and never came back.
Robert Downey Jr’s character in “Tropical Thunder” captured this perfectly — “Never go full retard.”
Well, the DNA test says what she didn’t want to hear, so denial is her world now. She’s a dink.
It seems we’re letting people pick their gender, why not their race?
This is what they call the “snowball” effect, isn’t?
Maybe Mom and Dad told her that when she grew up she could be “anything she wanted to be”.
