We truly are a nation of idiots. I'm not sure who has the lower IQ's, the idiot claiming to be black or those that believe her.....

Mother of Washington state NAACP leader says daughter falsely claimed to be black

Published June 12, 2015

Controversy erupted around a local NAACP leader in Washington state Thursday after family members told a local newspaper that she had misrepresented herself as black.

Rachel Dolezal is the head of the NAACP's chapter in Spokane and is also a part-time professor in the Africana Studies Program at Eastern Washington University. The Spokane Spokesman-Review says that Dolezal described her ethnicity as white, black, and American Indian in an application to be the volunteer chairwoman of the city's Police Ombudsman Commission, a position to which she was duly appointed.

But Dolezal's mother, Ruthanne, told the paper that the family's actual ancestry is Czech, Swedish, and German, along with some "faint traces" of Native American heritage.

"It's very sad that Rachel has not just been herself," Ruthanne Dolezal said. "Her effectiveness in the causes of the African-American community would have been so much more viable, and she would have been more effective if she had just been honest with everybody."

Ruthanne Dolezal said that her daughter began to "disguise herself" in the mid-2000s, after the family had adopted four African-American children.

Rachel Dolezal did not immediately respond to her mother's claim when contacted by the Spokesman-Review, first saying "I feel like I owe [the NAACP] executive committee conversation" about what she called a "multi-layered issue."

After being contacted again, Dolezal said, "That question is not as easy as it seems. There's a lot of complexities ... and I don’t know that everyone would understand that." Later, she said, "We're all from the African continent," an apparent reference to scientific studies tracing the origin of human life to east Africa.

Yeah .... She is about as believable as Elizabeth Warren's claim to being Native American.

Also according to scientist we all originated from Africa so everyone in the world can claim black heritage. I am all behind her on this one. The liberals did it to themselves.

Emphasis mine

Agreed,, Someone has to come up with a new question and new words.

Additionally,, There are millions of people that were born in or have direct blood lines to Africa,, some portion of that number are 100% WHITE....

You can't ask: "Are you African-American" and get an answer that explains your race...

Hell, if I were you, I'd claim to be part of the "Family."

If you can claim you are a female while still sporting a penis then I guess you should be able to claim a different race as well.

How dare someone venture to assume an identity that is different from the one they were born with...
...unless it is to further an approved agenda

Bruce Gender is a fucking national hero.... purely because of an "I'm not happy with "me" attitude...
....look at me I have titties now.
Forget for a moment that Bruce Gender is still dealing with legal troubles over a wrongful death lawsuit from a fatal automobile accident when he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a Lexus
...or the next time he crashed an Escalade into someones Prius.
he's still a hero.

This broad pretended to be black...
...but did it in a way that actually ADVANCED the social standing of black people.

Bruce Gender had plastic surgery and bought some tit's because it was all about him.
Bruce Gender is a god damned cultural hero now.

This lady was working for the NAACP and was apparently doing a pretty good fucking job of it BECAUSE THE NAACP IS DEFENDING HER
The NAACP even released this statement:
“One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership."

...but this broad is now being painted as some sort of James Bond super villain

Nice
Very nice indeed

That didn't cross my mind. Thank you for the moment of clarity, I don't know what I was thinking.....

Be mindful of how you do that.

The entire spectrum of social equality issues just tickles the living shit out of me.

Black white man woman straight gay rich poor liberal conservative...
...we have all but destroyed the "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet" American culture in favor of collectivism and inclusiveness.

George Carlin's politics always pissed me off, but it was mostly because he always managed to hit the raw nerves with some of the shit he said but the fact is, George always got it right.

"When you are born in this world, you get a ticket to the freak show; when you are born in America you get a front row seat."

It always pissed me off to hear Carlin talk shit about America because,
...well, because, 'MURICA

Sadly, America has spoken, and obviously the masses really do prefer the freak show.
...at least we have a front row seat.
