Well!? Rachel Dolezal has resigned. And to that I say, GET OUT! JUST GET OUT WHITE-BITCH! GET OUTTA HERE!
Now? Since this isn't really you and I talking it would be impossible to tell that I'm being sarcastic. I use the silly-stupidity because it applies to this unnecessary nonsense that this Whitewoman has decided to do. The reality is that she could have simply BEEN HERSELF and then dealt with things from there. I find it frustratingly-annoying when someone DECIDES THAT LYING AND MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES is the right thing to do. But then get pissed off and feel DISRESPECTED when THEIR SHITTY-DECISION finally comes back to bite them in the ass!
People talk about respect but too many have lost the ability TO RESPECT OTHERS, making it a foregone conclusion that at some point or another they end up getting disrespected BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN LACK OF RESPECT. And this woman has NO RESPECT FOR US OR OUR CAUSES BY TRYING TO PASS FOR BLACK. Bear in mind that PASSING FOR WHITE, has HISTORICALLY resulted in the DEATH of said Black Person. If Rachel Dolezal wanted to help Black Americans she should have started with something as simple as;
TELLING.
THE TRUTH.
It is sad, but I have too much personal experience in dealing with people that I have loved and wanted NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR. Only to find out that something as simple as honesty, is too much for them. When you can't even BE HONEST? Then you have ALREADY BEEN DISRESPECTFUL, here is the article. Too many of us regardless of race or place, waste too much of our time lying about things that we have no business lying about. It is part of the reason why I have been completely candid on this blog, because I just don't have time to lie AND!? If I NEED TO BE RESPECTED, THEN I HAVE TO GIVE RESPECT. And the core principle of RESPECT, is HONESTY;
'Black' activist resigns helm of US civil rights group
2 hours ago
Rachel Dolezal's resignation from her job as president of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as her parents, who are white and says she is too, urged her to seek counseling.
The Washington state chapter of the NAACP posted Dolezal's resignation letter on its Facebook page.
In it, she writes that her commitment to the "racial and social justice movement" is undiminished but that "the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity."
Dolezal, 37, built a career as an activist in the black community of Spokane.
She rose to become the president of the city's branch of the NAACP and served as an independent mediator for the city's police force.
Neither position required that she be black, but media reports said Dolezal identified herself in application forms and in various public appearances and writings as black.
She apparently resigned under pressure from the civil rights group.
"I have always deferred to the state and national NAACP leadership and offer my sincere gratitude for their unwavering support of my leadership through this unexpected firestorm," Dolezal wrote.
Her parents insist their daughter, from whom they are estranged, is white.
Since the story went national last week they have provided local media with a birth certificate and photographs of Dolezal as a blonde, fair-skinned child.
Now, as an adult, she is tawny skinned and dark haired.
- Baffled by daughter's actions- (Note; They are hardly baffled. It appears that Her Parents were typical-White Parents and adopted some Non-White kids, Black Children, and then proceeded to neglect the shit out of this woman who then decided to simply pretend to be Black as a reaction to it. Unfortunately many of us AS BLACK PEOPLE have seen Whites adopt Non-White Children and then whatever happens, happens & no words are exchanged or investigations made to make sure that the White Parents are not only treating the Adopted Children correctly, but also!? Making sure they're not abusing THEIR OWN CHILDREN. White Privilege CAN BE a double-edged sword in CERTAIN INSTANCES and this is one area where it is. Because the White Adoptive Parents can simply say the "right things" and no one will question anything of them or what is going on within their household or why they insist on constantly adopting Non-White children, etc-etc.)
Speaking on Monday on ABC News, prior to the resignation, parents Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal said they were baffled by what their daughter has done.
They said they have known for years but kept quiet until reporters came to them recently and asked about their daughter.
"Rachel is trying to reject her own reality, her own identity, and by doing that she does not alter reality," Ruthanne Dolezal said.
She said that if she had the chance to speak to her daughter now she would urge her to get help.
"I would say, 'Rachel we love you. We hope you'll get the help you need to deal with your own personal issues so that you can know and believe and speak the truth,'" Dolezal said.
Dolezal has dodged questions seeking clarification about her race and ethnicity and she does not address her race in the resignation letter.
Last week Spokane newspaper the Spokesman Review reported she had told them: "I feel like I owe my executive committee a conversation."
"That question is not as easy as it seems," she said after being contacted at Eastern Washington University, where she is a part-time professor in the Africana Studies Program.
"There's a lot of complexities … and I don't know that everyone would understand that."
And she broke off an interview with a local TV reporter when he asked her point blank: "Are you African American?"
Her parents, who adopted four black children, said their daughter had always been interested in issues of ethnicity and diversity.
But around 2007, they learned from a newspaper article that she was claiming to be African-American.
At that point she had already severed contact with her parents.
