WHILE YALL JOKE: I rather have Rachel Dolezal on my side than 1000 c00nS like Pharrell and Raven

[ReggieFlare]

Sellin Afrocentric art for hundreds of dollas, gettin teachin gigs in African studies, etc.

I believe she could have done this even if she didn't pose as a black person, which leads me to think she's just crazy and not necessarily trying to hustle people

Very true. White people do this in music all the time.

I guess the problem I have is that. You got all these mega church preachers do way worse and people seem to be ok with it. I mean seriously, you don't see anything wrong with that picture?

People were just going off on Creflo because he was trying to get a 65M jet.

You don't think there'd be outrage if it came out that Creflo never even believed in God?

We gotta bigger problem than what this broad did. She may have made profit. But she damn sure didn't have to adopt four black kids. shyt black people aint even adopting black kids.

White people adopt black kids all the time

Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock and Angelina Jolie adopted black kids but they're not walking around saying they're black.

I agree with you. The Church has shaking down Black folk who need every penny they have for decades.

Which would be a totally different conversation....if dat happened. But it didn't.

Guess I'm not willin to just let her off wit dat plea of "insanity" & just charge it to da game.

What's insanity is how so many black folk are so eager to look past all dat shyt just because she likes collards and listens to da SOS band.

We let people continue to go unchecked n take advantage of us. So I'm not eam really all dat surprised tho.

Bruh. People should have been going on all these money stealing preachers for years. Creflo was just testing to see how far he can go and they did get that jet for him. smdh.

I'm saying if the chick was truly trying to hustle, she wouldn't have adopted any. I'd like to ask anybody who is hella outraged, what have they done to help in the black community. I guarantee you it's little or nothing,.

So how much work in the community is required for a black person to be upset by a white woman wearing blackface, filing false hate crime reports, received scholarships due to her "race" and using her experiences as a "victim" to profit?

This whole thing is crazy its why after learning how the world is outside the US that i dont look at light skin people the same way anymore cause its not authentically black this would never have happened if we drew a line in the sand and accepted only brown skin to dark skin people as black .

I mean light skin / mixed /white people can still be our allys but that doesnt mean we should include them into our race. I read on another forum that they first take our culture next our identity and as black men we can stop it cause we are they say so on who is and who is not black

They could never claim our identity unless we allowed it

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

False equivalency. Beyonce is an entertainer.

So is bill cosby.

Are you just defending beyonce?

Does evey black entertainer get a pass?

Here's what I'm trying to say though: how is she taking advantage of us if she could have done the things you stated regardless if she posed as a black person or not?

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

If we aren't the most docile race man .... smh ya nikkas oblivious to the ulterior motives , but moreless NAACP been ran by white people since it's inception and till this day I don't know why we're satisfied to be spoon fed and educated about ourself from the oppressor oppose to creating our own platform and supporting to receive the same amount of recognition as the other . Every other ethnicity with major support groups are administrated BY THEIR OWN but ours . I really don't see myself residing in this country the next five years shyt is truly a damn shame .

The bolded and underlined times INFINITY!

And I feel you on moving out of America...things are just going to get worse for black folks in this country from this point on (if they haven't already and they've always been bad). I fear for the future of what's to come of us here...probably a nation of Rashida Jones' and Blake Griffins 50 years down the line with a 3% black population total.

 

[Barnett114]

3% black population total

Except the fact the blacks will still be at the same 12-14%.

The only thing holding back growth is abortions.

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

If you're black and dapped the OP, you should be ashamed of yourself. This cognitive dissonance has yall willingly locking arms with an evil.

I think the OP is a great poster but this whole situation has produced some of the worst threads, worst comments, and just overall has brought out the WORST of the coli...

to this whole thread.

You don't think her pretending to be black was a conduit to gainin people's(black folks) trust in order to put herself in a betta position to attain those things? Her "black father", "black sons", "black experiences" ???

Especially within our ranks?

This could be true but I don't know enough about her to come to this conclusion
