Rachel Dolezal's memoir was released last week, and in it, she not only discusses how she knew about blackness at an early age because of her grandmother's National Geographic magazines, but that she was also treated like an indentured servant by her parents and was too black for her black husband.

”I'd stir the water from the hose into the earth ... and make thin, soupy mud, which I would then rub on my hands, arms, feet, and legs," Dolezal states in her book.

”I would pretend to be a dark-skinned princess in the Sahara Desert or one of the Bantu women living in the Congo ... imagining I was a different person living in a different place was one of the few ways ... that I could escape the oppressive environment I was raised in," she writes.

Another prime quote from the article:

It wasn’t until she was 17, Dolezal says, that she found solace in the story of Miss Jane Pittman, which author Ernest Gaines said was purely fiction.

“I could still relate to aspects of her struggle. I certainly wasn’t enslaved … but it wouldn’t have been too much of a stretch to call me an indentured servant,” Dolezal says.

Is this like, a reverse uncle ruckus

 

[jWILL253]

I guess ScarJo was too Asian for GitS to have a property Asian actress, then.

 

[Charles Brandon]

I didn't find out about blackness until I was 26.

 

[clearacell]

I don't think I would let this woman alone with herself.

 

[ahoyhoy]

This is a fascinating freak show.

I'm surprised she doesn't have a TLC show by now.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Hahahah

[King Tubby]

Can we stop paying attention to her already?

I'm surprised she doesn't have a TLC show by now.

She won't settle for anything less than BET.

k.

What in the hell?

 

[Cagey]

Is she working a shoot or was she working a work so long she got worked by her own work and it became a shoot, brother?

 

[TheSpoiler]

It's like you can just turn it off and on.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Geez, it's really hard trying to read this and not cringe something fierce.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

...So she defined ethnicity by experience, rather than realising those experiences come about because of people's ethnicity?

 

[Loudninja]

ok

 

[Lights and Waves]

She's honestly the gift that keeps on giving!

 

[Patryn]

She is clearly mentally ill and should be given professional help, and not have a public spotlight.

 

[caliph95]

This is simply amazing

 

[Geist-]

What a fucking nut job. Why does she still have a media presence?

 

[ClosingADoor]

Can her family just drop her off at the nearest psychiatrist and get her some help? She clearly has some issues.

 

[sixteen-bit]

smh

 

[Sou Da]

She won't settle for anything less than BET.

Ha

What the fuck??? hahaha what a tool

 

[OniBarubary]

Stoooooooooooooooooooooooop talkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Oh my god

 

[Earthbound64]

she was also treated like an indentured servant by her parents

"They expected me to do chores... demeaning chores... without even being paid for them... and I had no way to refuse."

(Note: Not an actual quote. But I wouldn't be too surprised if that's fairly close to the mark)

The L. Ron Hubbard of blackface.

 

[Wag]

Can I speak to the white Rachel now?

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Lady needs help. Multiple screws loose.

 

[Rainer70]

Edit: Removed. Don't wanna cause any problems.

 

[psynergylover]

someone get this lady some help.....

 

[Darth Pinche]

She says she was an indentured servant? Is she saying that being abused is the same as being black?

She can just fuck off.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I wonder what she thought of Get Out.

 

[The Kree]

Honest question: Why is her believing she's black less acceptable than someone believing they're the opposite sex?

Leave.

 

[Fulminator]

At first I was like why are these guys bashing her WTF?

Then I saw the picture and recognized her

Yeah , not a good look

 

[fastford58]

This woman is a proper idiot.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

This woman has lost her marbles.

 

[Dabanton]

I just pity her really, as she's obviously very mentally ill.

 

[Rainer70]

Leave.

What is wrong with what I asked? If it's inappropriate I'll delete it.

 

[Frozenprince]

It's like you can just turn it off and on.

She probably thinks you can.

Yikes. She just keeps going, huh?
