Keep thinking everything in the world is black and white. Surely there are no grey areas right?
Some of you still haven't learned.
Keep thinking white people want to be your allies as opposed to your masters. Keep thinking they are there to help you as opposed to control you while benefiting from your work, ideas, passion, and creativity.
Let's not start misusing blackface.Thats all well and good.
But why is she walking around in blackface? You can be white and for blacks. Thats fine. But why is she going out of her way to pretend shes something that shes not?
You trying to start a war niccaShe's more valuable than an actual Black woman
You should
yeah...Lets just look at the Coli's past example of when white ppl try to genurly help out blacks..
'fukk off cacs, we don't need you"
"oh fukk their wana be liberal fake sympathy"
"oh what, they think we can't do it ourselves, there that cac goes again w/ his controlling us.."
ect.
Personally, i realize we need allies and am cool w/ cacs helping us out...but the coli? nah.,
She should have done this being herself.
It hurts to hear, and even if she's throwed off.
From what I'm hearing about her work ethic, its legit.
edit: I dont co sign her claiming black, she coulda been a fire black supporter as just a white person... she went way to far with it.
edit #2 she can claim whatever she wants tho, and while I might not agree with it, I got zero malice towards her, I even have a bit of sympathy because she actually was pushing black culture and pride as a white woman. That sounds crazy to even type out...
How bad has the self hate gotten where women pretending to be black for 20 years should get more props than those who have been thir whole lives?
You could also argue she used it to her advantage as she profited from selling her art and other memorabilia. Plus we all know damn well she about to be eating off them books and interviews. She just double hustled us
Plus some of the shyt she wrote on her twitter was straight . Talking about natural hair, her dislike for interracial relationships and all that bullshyt like she aint white
http://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnash...says-she-warned-dont-blow-my-cover#.eypKERl8lThis woman's story looks a lot different now. Someone in her family abused her (probably sexual abuse) so she's estranged from her family. The black community took her in and she started to associate with us more than her own people. The deception is wrong, but you can see how she would say FU to everything she came from
Woman posted a pic of a black man and says without joking "this is my father"
It was 2012, and Rachel Dolezal had a warning for her adopted brother as she prepared for a new life in Spokane, Washington.
“She just told me, ‘Over here, I’m going to be considered black, and I have a black father. Don’t blow my cover,’” Ezra Dolezal, 22, told BuzzFeed News in an interview.
Ezra first began noticing a change in his sister around six years ago, including a lot of hair products when he visited her in Spokane.
“My younger sister Esther is fully African-American and Rachel used to do her hair a lot. She really enjoyed it, so she already knew a lot about hair products and started applying them to herself,” Ezra said.
Then, starting in 2011, Rachel began applying makeup to her face to appear “darker and darker” and perming her naturally straight, blonde hair, Ezra said.
While the change in her physical appearance was gradual, her decision to officially identify as black was sudden, he added.
Ezra believes the only reason his sister would change her identity was due to the racism she claimed to have encountered at Howard University, where she graduated with her master’s degree in fine art in 2002.
Rachel, he added, would often complain that she was treated poorly as one of only a few white students on a mostly black campus.
“She used to tell us that teachers treated her differently than other people and a lot of them acted like they didn’t want her there,” Ezra said. “Because of her work in African-American art, they thought she was a black student during her application, but they ended up with a white person.”
He said that the experience made her angry, and it was then that Rachel started being “hateful to white people.”
“It’s like what psychologists call self-hating,” Ezra said. “She had no reason not to like herself being white. She was an awesome artist and she could have accomplished everything she did, if she had stayed exactly the same.”
He also contradicted Rachel’s account that she had lived in South Africa and hunted with bows and arrows. Ezra said he lived there with his parents, and other adopted siblings, from 2002 to 2006. Rachel was living in Virginia at the time and never visited the family abroad, he added.
“She’s never been to Africa in her entire life,” Ezra said.
But Ezra said he felt it was a “slap in the face” to African-Americans for his sister to co-opt their struggles when she grew up white, in a nice house, with a good education.
“She puts dark makeup on her face and says she black,” he said. “It’s basically blackface,” he said.
