White NAACP President pretends to be black

Post Reply New Topic

My wife is black. The most I've ever gotten toward being considered black was to be called an "honorary brother."

Imagine an extant San male age 31....if everyone is multi-racial, what is/are his 2nd/3rd race(s)?

Ring species is not relevant to my statements.

Why does she look like she gets her hair done at the same place as Sideshow Bob?

PS

That should have been a dead giveaway... Bob isn't black either.

I may only have a high school education, but i identify as an ivy league graduate.

Yet you're judging him based on looks, as well. If you had no idea who he was, no idea on his ancestry, would you be able to say with complete confidence on what ancestry he has?

Such as which of these people is considered black?



Can you even tell what race this man is?


Society does base a lot of it on looks. Sure, maybe you could get the bigots off your back if you show them your heritage, but people will judge you based on looks, and how you act, how you dress. I have friends who were told that they were "too white." And others who were told they were "too black." Because they spoke a certain way based on where they grew up, or dressed a certain way. I have mixed friends who have received flak from all sides because they didn't "fit in" to one culture or another, like they had to choose, they couldn't embrace it all.

There are even medical procedures for people who want to change the way they look, such as Asians getting surgery done on their eyes to look more European, or skin bleaching or super tanning. Some people have even gone so far as to change their looks to look more like the animal they feel they are. This isn't anything new, it's just not spoken of because of the backlash. Just research Otherkin.

The world is too full of judging, and even the people who are speaking up most about acceptance aren't very accepting.

If i wanted to be sympathetic, I might point out:

Her parents are extreme christian fundamentalists who abused and traumatized her. Her attempt to live as a black person is part of how she has tried to distance herself from her horrible parents.

But the schadenfreude is too good.

It goes back to Old English:

I actually had not known that. Shows you you learn something new everyday.

I can attest to this, to an extent. I know her cousin (married my cousin) and they grew up together, and they are extreme fundamentalists. I don't know if they're horrible people, but even those with good intentions can do more harm than good without realizing it. I know they've been talking about Rachel, and that she did have a rough life, but no one is standing by her because of the lying. It seems like they've practically disowned her (unless she repents, I guess?).

Is this true? The problem is there is a lot of hearsay.

There is. But this angle has been corroborated by the existence of a memoir her brother wrote a year ago. On the one hand, he's a bit of an unreliable narrator since this all came out when he was being investigated for sexually abusing his adopted brother (the one Rachel Dolezal got custody of) The trigger for her parents outing her is believed to be this investigation since her history of lies makes any of her testimony worthless. But the book was published a year ago, when she was fully estranged from all of them, so when things she says are also in a book he wrote a year ago, that makes it plausible.

I found all this following a link chain in an article about her. The link chain led ultimately to a website where people in recovery from abusive fundamentalist homeschooling gather.

It gives a truly powerful motivation for not only why she would want to distance herself from her parents in such a major way, making it seem like they couldn't have birthed her since they are the wrong race. Some people have speculated that she was jealous of her 4 adopted black brothers and the positive attention they got from her parents and she felt displaced and that's why she did this. I thought that sounded pretty plausible since it could happen in a more typical family that adopted children from other races.

When people of multiple races are siblings, sometimes this transracialism happens (apparently it's a real phenomenon that has been studied but it is mostly of kids who are not white perceiving themselves as white because their adoptive parents and siblings are).

But then I found the homeschooling survivor website and things suddenly looked much uglier than mere sibling jealousy.


So this puts a horrifying spin on the "baboon whip" comment she made in some interview (or maybe one of her pre-scandal tweets). She had said she was beaten with a plumbing line and it was called a baboon whip. That provoked an eye roll. But now it should provoke horror. It was her doing the beating and it was her younger adopted and black brothers and this was apparently a done thing in fundie homeschool households, making older sibs beat younger ones.

This entire sad spectacle may have been her trying to atone for that. It's also possible that her parents did indeed hit her with it too, although that is not specifically in the excerpts from his book. This would also explain why she doubled down on her lies by insisting they are not her parents. I wouldn't want to be related to them either.

It really looks like this whole thing is her attempted escape from her upbringinging in the most profound way possible. She spouted the absolute worst of identity politics (as I wrote in the companion thread in News) and now I understand why. It was all part of her attempt to reach escape velocity from their orbit.

Janissy-

If I had felt any contempt for her before, after reading this litany of horrors, I am just feeling pity for her right now. I can easily see why she'd want to be someone else - anyone else - after growing up in that kind of loony religious background.

Lol! Whenever anyone starts an internet post with "wow, just wow" you just know they're going to be an anti-white, an LGBT activist or some feminist fruitcake.

What would you like to happened to AntDog, Barchan? An FBI investigation perhaps?



Boo hoo Barchan. Cry me a river. Non-whites whine about whites "trampling their racial identity" and other "microaggressions" but usually freak out if white people talk about getting away from them. Why aren't all these whining non-whites asking to separate from their "oppressors"?



What does the brain have to do with it? Your race is determined by your lineage, and can be assessed with near 100% accuracy by genetic testing. Your sex is determined by your sex chromosomes. A man with a "feminine" brain is just a man with a feminine brain. And Dillogic is right about racial neurological differences.



Well I for one was being sarcastic, since certain people like to claim race is a social construct when it suits them. I'm not sure I was expecting people to say "race is a social construct" in this thread and mean it.

Oh boy ... year after year white conservatives like you moan about "white guilt" propaganda and manufactured race controversies, and yet it never dawns on you that the only way to ensure you have societies free of this crap is racial separation.

SJWs and racists alike are right that race matters. Conservatives will just keep grumbling year after year that it's all "stupid" while scratching their heads about their disappearing freedoms.



" They keep us divided with race so we can never turn our attention to the real criminal puppet masters that run this planet."

Lol, you sound like an old-school Marxist. You have it virtually back-to-front. "They" force the different races together because they know that conflict will follow naturally from forced integration. What "they" don't want is geographic racial separation and racially homogenous societies/communities - or racially homogenous white societies/communities in particular. If you want to understand more about why "they" are doing this, it helps to look into the racial backgrounds of some of "these people", but I suppose that wouldn't mean anything to someone who has decided a priori that race doesn't matter.
