For years Rachel Dolezal said she was partly of African-American ancestry - a claim her parents have denied
The name of a local civil rights leader in the US northwest is trending worldwide after her parents told the media that she is a white woman who has been passing herself off as black for years. |

Is that the opposite of the black female pop singers whose skin seems to be getting lighter, and have dyed their hair blonde?

It must happen all the time with this positive discrimination.
The only way you can get a job with the BBC these days is to claim that you're black or Asian. |

"I've always identified as a banana and I feel like the trans-fruit movement has not gotten enough attention. PEEL ME, PEEL ME!!" Going by the comments, ACTUAL  black women are incandescent about this. |

A bad perm, some £-shop tan, some made up sh1t about being born in a teepee and her Culture and Gender Studies bingo numbers are up - bingo! Congratulations on your senior positions in the Uni and NAACP!

As someone pointed out, shouldn't that organization (to keep up with PC jargon) now be called the National Association for the Advancement of African Americans...? That is : NAAAA.
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! |

not sure what the fuss is about. a woman who has colored her hair, nail, skin, lips, and eyelashes would seem to be very well qualified to work for The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

When her parents offer up this information it seems pretty sure they think the girl has mental health problems denying her birth details.She even published a photograph with a black man saying he was her father ??? Deluded or merely a budding politician ?

Oh my word, well played sir, that's a definite 9 out of 10. It would have been a perfect 10 if you had put the full stop at the end, or 9.5 with an ellipsis. Such is life. |

She's resigned - from at least one of her lucrative posts, anyway. This is what she had to say after getting caught out with her many lies :
"...challenging the construct of race is at the core of evolving human consciousness." So there you are - she's pretty much masquerading as Buddha now... Must be a stick-on for the next Star Trek movie... |

By:
What a complete and utter fookin' bullsh1t artist! She's busy, busy, ever spinning lies, and will probably make a fortune from this, one way or another.

This farcical happening is a truly great non-story. Only in New Millennium media could get this get such a high international profile. The inevitable consequence of overpaid, over-modern-educated folk (and their rapacious lawyers) getting bees is their sad little bonnets about race, identity, gender. You know, all the good stuff...
The NAACP doesn't even seem to realise that one of the words in its name is apparently deeply 'offensive'. Well, at least it was when pale while Benedict Crumblebatch used the word 'coloured' recently. The most ludicrous thing of all was that this non-story was the HEADLINE news report on the pitiful and cringeworthy 'Newsnight' last Friday. A story which Britain has ZERO interest in, but tells you a lot about the uber-lefty, uber race-obsessed mindset that prevails at the Beeb. One last thing, I may have been born a white Welshman, but the truth is I've always seen myself as a six-foot tall leggy and bosomy black girly lap dancer named Cindy. And there's nothing any of you can do about it. I will expect you all to respect my "rights" and my "identity", or I'll sue for some sort of ridiculous 'discrimination'. And if you could put a $100 (minimum) bill in my non-existent suspender belt I will respect that gesture warmly. |
