Rachel Dolezal’s True Lies <---------------- Click link

Rachel Dolezal still identifies as a Black woman — despite, you know, being white.

In a new interview with Vanity Fair (can you believe this lady made it into Vanity Fair?), she says that while she knows she isn’t biologically African-American, her assumed blackness isn’t anything she can stop.

“It’s not a costume,” she says. “I don’t know spiritually and metaphysically how this goes, but I do know that from my earliest memories I have awareness and connection with the black experience, and that’s never left me. It’s not something that I can put on and take off anymore. Like I said, I’ve had my years of confusion and wondering who I really [was] and why and how do I live my life and make sense of it all, but I’m not confused about that any longer. I think the world might be—but I’m not.”

She continued,

“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.”

Rachel Dolezal works as black hair stylist after losing job


Rachel Dolezal is braiding hair to make ends meet after her racial identity controversy put her in the crosshairs.

The ex-NAACP leader — who resigned as the president of the Spokane chapter after her parents revealed she is white — lost her job as an African studies professor amid the June controversy. Eastern Washington University, where Dolezal once taught classes on the politics of black hair, did not renew the beloved professor’s contract this year, she told Vanity Fair.

So in order to provide for her 13-year-old son, she now makes her living braiding and weaving black hair, she said.


shyt sounds like the end of a chapelle show skit on some "where are they now" shyt :dead:.

African-Americans have a specific historical experience of being descended from those stolen from Africa and forced to labor in this country.

African immigrants are not African-Americans.
Jamaicans are not African-Americans.
etc.

Hell, even African-Americans aren't African-Americans :mjpls:... if you woke then you know the deal about being "American"
