simply put race is a social construct based on physical features and some elements of culture. It's being a social contract however does not mean that racism does not exist. People still judge other negatively based on raceperhaps i'm not fully understanding your point but if race isn't real then racism wouldn't be real and racism is definitely realwhat?
if you mean that race does nothing to change the fact that we are all the same species yeah. and we as a species "socially constructed" race to identify certain groups of our own species based on appearance and culture and other attributes etc.simply put race is a social construct based on physical features and some elements of culture.

How does one "act black" and what does that entail?Well iirc she was "acting black", for one. There may some day be acceptable forms of transrace identity, but it won't be Dolezal.
As for the arguments against the concept of transrace, they kind of sound like the same arguments as those against transgenderism.

i dunno about her actions but she was deliberately changing her appearance. isn't that the definition of blackfaceHow does one "act black" and what does that entail?
not just black people, I'm a man of color and I found this to be really, really weirdThe folks going "idk about her but was she really malicious???" are kind of part of the problem. There's numerous instances where she WAS being and acting a shitlord from this (criticizing black women for marrying white men, not letting a Hispanic girl speak in her class in a discussion because she didn't LOOK Hispanic enough, etc.).
And I'm not saying people need to be born already knowing the information. I'm just saying that people instantly give this white lady the benefit of the doubt over an entire community of mostly black people who pretty uniformly have said "this is fucked up".
No.But can someone be born in the wrong race?
I wonder if one day people with race identity issues will be a thing. Kind of like how trans people are finally being recognized by their genders.

Like we're all people, there only really one race. Like if there was more then one we would look completely different.

But if someone's called out for it, are they just not listening like the president won't listen like when people criticize him, or is there just a mental disorder preventing them from understanding what they are doing is wrong
I have no doubt that Rachael Dolezal has mental illness(es). She should be seeking professional help, not a book deal.But if someone's called out for it, are they just not listening like the president won't listen like when people criticize him, or is there just a mental disorder preventing them from understanding what they are doing is wrong

It's called TransRacial. It was featured in an episode of Atlanta.This is so strange. Why is she doing this?
I mean, trans people change gender because their body and mind identifies with the other gender more.
But can someone be born in the wrong race?
What? She sounds crazy to me.

I wonder how many porn casting calls she's gotten.
How are there zero customer reviews for her book on Amazon.

This is the kind of shit that happens when you push identity politics so hard. But it's the dems bread and butter at the moment so don't expect it to go away anytime soon.

What the hell?
What? Are you really comparing people defending Trans People's Rights to a White woman pretending to be Black? Trans-raciality is not a thing.This is the kind of shit that happens when you push identity politics so hard.

What in the unholy hell are you talking about?
"Identity politics" now just a buzz word reflex now
"Make america great again", "Take back our country", etc. MeanwhileTrumpsters always projecting. Like this election wasn't an advancement of white identity politics.

So a white person pretending to be black is the result of a political agenda?
Liberal politics running rampant, wild, and unfocused. its why Trump will win again.

i know she's 'famous' now but kinda not buying the 100 jobs thing... at least not due to the controversy. i think most people are like "rachael who?"
White people, clearly, because after the initial controversy and people having to explain why the subjective societal classifications of ancestry ain't the same shit as fucking gender, it's like it's never happened at all, and we have people in this thread toying around with the idea that maybe there's something to this trailblazing white woman who just wants to help.
Nevermind the audacity of people implying there's nothing wrong with pretending to be black for personal gain. "Aside from that, what did she do?" Fuck you mean? In this slice of racist-ass time, you think there's nothing inherently offensive of a white woman putting on some bronzer and weave like that shit's cool when black people have never been allowed to simply take the advantages of white society as they please?
Are y'all for real right now?

All that needs to be said really. In other words, fuck Rachael Dolezal.No, Rachel Dolezal is what happens when you live in a centuries' old culture that gives white people the benefit of the doubt to do whatever the fuck they want regardless of even the fucking science behind their decisions.
But yeah, clearly this is the fault of BLM and transgender people wanting to use the appropriate bathrooms.
DedGuess he's getting the real black experience in America now.
I'm going through that thread right now and every next page is better than the previous one.
The hell are you talking about? Being transgender is legitimate, being transracial is not.
It hits a wall hard about halfway through, though.
From what I understand, that's how she got the presidency in the first place.
"You gonna press her?"
"I'm not gonna press her."
"I'm pretty sure she's a white woman, though."
"You know that. And I know that. But what happens when we let her know we know that."
"Man, I don't even know."
"I mean, it's not like we got a lot of Black people here"
"I know, Steve."
"This is Spokane."
"I know Steve"
"Hair game is pretty solid, too."
