The deception was going on for 13 years so how did she pull this off so soon after that lawsuit?



It's sad this imagery is being misused. The whole point of the video and song it comes from is to put forward the message that we are all people and race shouldn't matter. :|

Michael's appearance changed drastically from Thriller by then to the point that he probably felt the need to address it. Given, there are a lot of reasons for his transformation, including skin disorder, severe burns, and general discomfort with his own appearance. The point of the song is that race isn't a tangible thing, and that we are all one race in reality, thus it shouldn't MATTER if I'm black or white (or anyone else). The transforming people was to show how similar different ethnicities actually are to one another. It's message oddly enough resonated pretty well with people 25 years ago. It was a SUPER hit, i remember you couldn't get in a car without hearing it. Some of you younger guys might not understand how big of a star Michael was. The most popular figure in the world today isn't 1/4th as prominent a figure as Michael. We honestly probably don't hero worship today to the same level, so it might be impossible.

I'm just waiting for her to claim that this was all just an elaborate art piece to generate a discussion on race in America.

This is the answer. And it kinda works, which is why I think she'll use it. That, or she'll announce she's going into rehab like most 'celebs' do. That's always a great way to just disappear.

Is it because she's white that people can't just accept that she's a lying manipulative piece of shit?
I mean, seriously. The defenders and shit on this thread and elsewhere are ridiculous.

After rehab, she'll write the follow up to Black Like Me or some other opportunistic title.
It is clear that this woman wasn't mentally ill, "transracial" or any other excuse people were pulling out of their asses. She is nothing more than an opportunistic piece of shit.

I would love to hear from all of the people who were defending her bullshit, now that we know about her discrimination lawsuit.

Didn't Jesus "identify" as a human, yet nobody criticizes him; in fact we celebrate his works, as a human. Why can't we celebrate the positive work Rachel did as a black woman? How is this act of love any different than what Jesus did.

Well ask yourself, have you ever seen a minority being exposed for trying to pass off as a different race get so many people trying to give them a pass? Dolezal herself seemed to have a distaste toward light-skinned blacks trying to live as whites to avoid discrimination.

I just saw some idiot on The Ed Show try to defend her. Saying that she "lived through the struggle". What bullshit, you're not in any struggle if at any moment you could point to your white parents and ask for your VIP card back if the heat gets too much for you. Actual Black people do not have this option.

3:1 she cites racism in the HBCU admission process and nationwide African American studies departments as the reason she pretended to be black.

Breitbart (Breitbart!) of all sites has a pretty good write-up on the timeline of her various fallacies, including the doozy that cancer made her blond (she actually did have cancer). They of course use it as an excuse to skewer Jenner and Obama and the left, but Breitbart gonna Breitbart.



This is the bizarre trolling cousin of "If a man can marry a man, why can't he marry a dog?"

The slope ain't that slippery.

Holy shit I should have put down money.

This thread has beeen simultaneously one of the most hilarious and frustrating things I have ever read on GAF. I'm serious, this crash & burn makes Jbaird's bullshit look like smalltime.

To TransGAF, words cannot express how sorry I am that concern trolls across the nation have spent the last few days using this wretched woman as a platform to discredit who you are and everything you have been through. Always remember that you still have allies.

Are you an infant? Really?
What positive work did she do?
The NAACP is a fucking joke full of opportunists and frauds.
Now you're comparing this lying asshole to Jesus? For fucks sake.
The story of Jesus is nowhere close to this. Jesus didn't "identify" as anything, according to the story. The whole point of that story was that Jesus WAS human. Nice try and twisting shit, though.
It has already been shown through her past of lies that this fuck head did not identify as anything but whatever wasost advantageous at the time.

Impressively enough, she actually seems to be a pretty decent artist.

The author of Black Like Me wasn't trying to "be black" but rather to understand the difference between what he lived as a white man and what others lived.

That said, all the comments about Dolezal seem to be reflected in this excerpt from an article about Black Like Me that was written for the Guardian in 2011.

This, to me, lacks plausibility. Other questions emerge in the rereading: how is it that a 39-year-old white man can pass himself as black simply by darkening his skin and shaving his hair? Did no one notice his Caucasian features and become sceptical of the white man with weirdly dark skin? It is also striking how confidently Griffin seems able to inhabit the black mindset and speak for all black men, within, it seems, only days of starting his journey. Despite these misgivings, Black Like Me remains for me a brutal record of the indignities suffered by blacks in segregated America; it is also a reminder of how, in some respects, things have progressed.

That's my point, she's an opportunist and she'll try to pass off everything she did as an homage to Black Like Me.

Ah. I had thought you were implying that the author of BLM was just a previous generation's version of RD.

I find this woman very odd, and though this thread was amusing and mocking her kinda warranted. Am I the only person who worries what potentially unstable people like her may do cos of the internet making fun of her.

She's not unstable. She's just a manipulative liar.

I want to make the motion for the delegation to consider that the bolded is an applicable definition of "reverse racism" -- to be racist while pretending to be the race you are being racist against.

Seriously.
Some people will never accept that there are these types of people in the world.
Why did she do it? Because it was the easier course of action besides earning something in life. Ass holes do this all the time. It's not because of mommy and daddy or any other bull shit excuse.

well the conservative talking point is "if transgender is accepted, why isnt transracial, is this because one is not true? if one is not true do they both become not true? fox news, you decide" . so yea this is what this woman did for transgendered people out there, you now being second guessed on the premise that your only valid becuase the left"says so" . not good. :/
