This just makes me think, there must be more out there. More white people 'disguising' themselves as black, fitting in and no one noticing. We've probably interacted with them too without even noticing. Shit, maybe so many white people's 'black friend' is actually not black!

We need to recall and evaluate everyone's black card immediately.

She nailed the high yella skin tone in those pics. I aint even mad

Yep. Her tanning regimen must be on poinT.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder who decided to pull her card?

The mission of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.

im sorry but i dont see how this is at all controversial. she's standing up for something right? is her change of identity that important?

 

[joedan]

She look right, tho. Just sayin'.

That was my first thought. That's an amazing tan.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

She said the family does have some “faint traces” of Native American heritage as well.

Well there are some people who actually believe blacks were the true Native Americans, so...

That she's lying about her race?

Yeah, it's a pretty big fucking deal.

holy shit

 

[Steamlord]

When I was in high school my black friends told me I had accumulated enough black points to become an honorary black guy. That gives me more cred than this woman, right?

 

[hoos30]

She could pass for black, easily. I know a few AA women with features almost exactly like hers. Her story gets murkier when you get to the police reports though.

Eep.

Like why would you want to go black? Its like the Louie bit about if he had to pick every year which race he could be.

LOL. Damn...

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I'm reading about this now. I've seen blurbs about it on twitter all day, and I just pulled up an article.

This is some of the wildest fucking shit. I'm not even sure I can articulate how crazy this is.

The problem isn't that she's white. NAACP isn't like not letting white people in or anything. Its the fact she appears to be possibly lying/disguising herself as black.

Its like...why? For what purpose?

 

[gdt]

This is just amazing. I'm cracking up over here.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Someone gif the look of total panic from 8:37-8:42.

She has no idea what to do.

Its like...why? For what purpose?

lol i agree. who knows why she's compelled to do that, who knows why anybody does anything, i just dont see this hurting anyone?

the problem isn't that she is white, but she lied like hell. Might be a sign of a mental issue.

I have finally found the thread which can't possibly have a Simpsons pic that fits.

 

[Coins]

Are we really going down the transracial road?

 

[akira28]

I wonder who decided to pull her card?

her own mother was upset over reasons and decided the world needed to know the truth. that's some drama with your mama shit. I mean, angry phonecall hangups is one level, calling the newspapers is some levels above that for sure.

“It’s very sad that Rachel has not just been herself,” Ruthanne Dolezal said. “Her effectiveness in the causes of the African-American community would have been so much more viable, and she would have been more effective if she had just been honest with everybody.”

If i had to taste test, i'd say definitely some serious bitterness over any kind of sweet.

 

[Slayven]

Yet I respect her more than Chet Hanks, he talks about that life, she choose to live it.

[thechristoph]

transrace? is this a thing?

It's certainly fascinating. Do we pick and choose which translabels we do and don't accept?

Basically everyone relevant is next to the Puget sound. Can't be asked to care about what the forest dwellers around the rest of the state are up to.

 

[royalan]

huh i guess i didn't realize that lying about your race is a big deal.

Well let me fill you in.

Lying about your race is in general a pretty big deal. See: All the controversy surrounding Mindy Kaling's brother lying about being black to get through college.

But lying about being black with you're the leader of of your branch of the NAACP? That's just one giant "Da FUK???"

 

[kirblar]

It's certainly fascinating. Do we pick and choose which translabels we do and don't accept?

Yes. Yes we do.

This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen.

Dude.

I was born and raised in Spokane.

And you're absolutely right.

 

[XAL]

And the floodgates of "I self identify as *insert race other than self* - accept me" hath opened.

But seriously about this, holy fucking shit.
