Being black is a choice

The racial identity of one of the most prominent faces in Spokane, Washington's black community is under question after her parents produced a birth certificate that showed she is white.

Rachel Dolezal, 37, is the head of the local chapter of the NAACP and has identified herself as African-American. But her Montana birth certificate says she was born to two Caucasian parents, according to CNN affiliate KXLY, which also showed an old family photo in its report.

I can't say I don't agree.

Sounds similar to lying on a resume to me. People claiming specific ethnicity better have their sh*t together before they make those claims.

Wow! That's interesting. Never trust whitey.

I thought people could identify as anything these days? So if she is white but feels like she's been a black person her whole life, who are we to judge?

[TennesseeWaltz1]

Well I mean if one can change gender then why not race...

 

[naturalmwa]

I can't say I don't agree.

If you ever wondered what meta means, this is it.

How do we know her parents aren't pretending to be white?

Yep. Elizabeth Warren claiming to be part Cherokee Indian to get in to an Ivy league school and take a minority slot should be a career killer in public office.

Of course, we all know why she gets a pass.

The left is mortified and tiptoeing around this after lecturing everyone on Bruce Jenner

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Perhaps the woman's husband was listed on the birth certificate as the father when in fact he wasn't.

 

[naturalmwa]

It will be really fun if/when she loses her job because of her race. I almost can't wait.

 

[TexMichFan]

As the first black president, Bill Clinton supports transracialism.

I have little by way of a controversial view or anything. Just chiming in to say....

I have always felt like a Neanderthal.

I've always felt like a Piltdown myself.

Studies like this always make me smile a bit. Racist propaganda is that whites are somehow pure and the darker races are mongrels. When in reality the lighter races are made up of cavemen DNA. Nature has a sense of humor.

The biggest difference between the two is that Jenner has better publicity reps.

Nothing gets by you buddy.

Lots of people ask what that means. I thought we could team up and turn this into a teachable moment.

I don't know how to answer that. Since I've finally admitted I'm a Neanderthal it undoubtedly means a long, uphill struggle. Organizations, demands, lobbying. I'd love to have Europe back but I suppose that won't happen, and the truth is I just want fire and a place to hunt. It's weird, I can't help but think that with all the land taking and death, if it hadn't been for getting screwed by Homo Sapien Sapien I wouldn't be around to complain!

This is all too much for me to understand, but I can crack open a walnut with my teeth.

Oh, and stop calling us "cavemen". There must be a better term, but my language skills are not evolved enough to think of one. I make good stone tools but not jewelry.

Is it racial discrimination if they fire her?

False.

 

[Aegon_Targaryen]

That's a good question actually. But she made a false claim in saying she was black, when she wasn't. So I'm not sure.

 

[IMCC965]

She's transblack.

 

[dgordo]

Interesting, i chose not to be black.

 

[ANYCHawk]

The fact it was a choice is news?

 

[ANYCHawk]

I've always thought I was caucasian, my parents are. Now I'm uncertain. Do I have to go to the county clerk's office or somewhere and fill out a form? Just to make it legal?

No just head to the basketball court. If you know insticively what to do and can touch the rim...welll there's your answer.

 

[icu81222]

False.

How so? Warren lied. Very much like this one

County clerks help with religion.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

you can't hire someone based on race. whatever she filled out was likely optional. I don't think they can force you to be truthful.

don't most applications make you sign them stating that all the information you provided is accurate and true? I think they would have a lawsuit on their hands for discrimination if they fired her but I also think they would have a case for her being dishonest

 

[NoleandDawg]

I wonder if it would be the same blasé attitude if it was a white woman pretending to be a conservative black?

 

[BABiscuit]

She didnt lie to get in to a college. She also wasnt hired to fill a "minority spot". So basically everything you posted.

 

[DanL53]

I think the land in Allamakee County would suit me. Right now, I will accept that county as reparations for what you Sapiens did to my ancestors. I've learned there is something called "lawyering up" and if I start gathering other Neanderthals things could get more costly.

I will meet at your convenience at the Maquoketa Caves, a neutral site, where we can paint out an agreement on the walls.

I eat 85% meat, that would kill most of you. I am tall for my kind, but have the usual broad shoulders and thick bones.
