Disgraced Rachel Dolezal Breaks Silence In Interview, Says "I Identify As Black"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We are treading a fine line here between the "you can do anything you want" 'second life' many undertake on the web's various social media outlets and the entirely un-virtual world of reality in which we all live, breathe, (and even work for some). In a unicorn-esque moment, when asked "are you an African-American woman?" the former NAACP official Rachel Dolezal told The Today Show's Matt Lauer, "I identify as black." As NPR notes, the topic of Dolezal's race has prompted surprise, bewilderment and speculation since her parents said that contrary to their estranged daughter's claims of being of mixed race, Rachel Dolezal is white.

 

 

As NPR reports,

On Today, Dolezal, 37, said she knew that "at some point, I would need to address the complexity of my identity." But she acknowledged being taken by surprise by her parents' statements to the media.

 

"The timing of it was a shock," she said. "Wow. The timing was completely unexpected."

 

At one point, Lauer presented an image of Dolezal as a teenager, and asked her what she sees in the picture.

 

"Visibly, she would be identified as white by people who see her," Dolezal said.

 

Lauer then turned to the subject of Dolezal's parents, who have said their daughter is "a very talented woman doing work she believes in — why can't she do that as a Caucasian woman, which is what she is?"

 

In response, Dolezal said, "I really don't see why they're in such a rush to whitewash some of the work that I have done, and who I am, and how I've identified."

 

She went on to say that she began to identify "with the black experience" as early as age 5."

 

"I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon," she said. "That was how I was portraying myself."

 

As for charges that she has deceived people, Dolezal said, "I do take exception to that. It's a little more complex than me identifying as black, or answering a question of, 'Are you black or white?' "

 

Dolezal said that when she was working in northern Idaho, she was identified "as first transracial, and then ... the next newspaper article identified me as being a biracial woman. And then the next article ... was, 'This is happening to a black woman.' And I never corrected that."

 

Addressing the changes in her appearance since her youth, Dolezal said, "I certainly don't stay out of the sun. I also don't, as some of the critics have said, put on blackface as a performance."

 

She added, "This is not some freak, Birth of a Nation mockery blackface performance. This is on a very real, connected level — I have actually had to go there with the experience, not just with the visible representation, but with the experience."

*  *  *

Forgive us briefly for our contempt and confusion... while we can come to terms with the potential biological issues of the Caitlyn Jenners of the world, "self identifying as black" when you are white seems like self-identifiying as a Unicorn when you are a human?

She is not "disgraced."  She is the perfect liberal/leftist.  She is whatever she claims to be.

The left/socialists will NOT let this stand.  It will destroy trillions of dollars per year of race based gubmint vote buying.  If anyone can claim to be any race they can also get racial preferences, gubmint set-asides, etc.

Just sent to National Desk of the NY Times:

 

This email deals with the question of what race an individual is a member of - notice the US Census Bureau's criterion, beginning with the 2000 Census,  is, (my emphasis markups) "Race and ethnicity in the United States Census, defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the United States Census Bureau, are self-identification data items in which residents choose the race or races with which they most closely identify . . ."

 

In the second paragraph, this is refined as, "The racial categories represent a social-political construct for the race or races that respondents consider themselves (sic) to be . . ."

 

In short, if you self-identify as Black, you are Black.

 

I broke this in a column back in 2007 speaking about how Obama should identify himself racially - but I'm not in a Top 5 metro, so no one noticed. The issue of racial self-identification was too arcane for mass consumption in 2007, but now it is on the front pages. I hope that this time, someone will bring this concept to the forefront.

 

The implications of self-identification are staggering: grants, affirmative action, school admissions, and federal contracts to minority contractors . . . you get the idea. If you say you are Black, then under the bureau's definition of race, you are Black - and thus you are entitled to all the considerations of being part of a minority group.

 

Source: Wikipedia

 

Article title: Race and ethnicity in the United States Census

 

Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States_Census

 

Race and ethnicity in the United States Census, defined by the federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the United States Census Bureau, are self-identification data items in which residents choose the race or races with which they most closely identify, and indicate whether or not they are of Hispanic or Latino origin (the only categories for ethnicity).[1][2]

The racial categories represent a social-political construct for the race or races that respondents consider themselves to be and "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country."[3] OMB defines the concept of race as outlined for the U.S. Census as not "scientific or anthropological" and takes into account "social and cultural characteristics as well as ancestry", using "appropriate scientific methodologies" that are not "primarily biological or genetic in reference."[4] The race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.[5]

 

With best wishes, I remain

On the note of the story, I knew a guy exactly like this in college.  He was the RA of my dorm when I was a freshman.  A totally white guy (sort of irish albino with red hair and such) but he talked black, thought black, hung out with only blacks and so on and so forth.   Very strange.

On the bright side, I tan a shit ton better than my wife does with her pure blood European heritage.

Being a mongrel isn't all bad as long as I don't think too carefully of it.

And dickheads like Erik Douchebag Magnus Fucktard Larsen don't brag about how they intentionally bred half niggers.

So you’re telling me that Caitlyn Jenner can say she is a women when she was clearly a man and it touted as a hero but this women can’t identify as black.  I think they both have mental issues but more importantly wanted to point out the hypocrisy that is rampant in our society that most people seem to be blind to.

If the government didn't give any special treatment based on race there would not be nearly as much reason to lie about it.

True story. I was talking with a few employees of a fairly big services company who had to take some class mandated by HR policy. One of the questions they had to answer was something along the lines of (I am paraphrasing from memory) "Is it okay for someone to use the women's bathroom if they identify themselves as a woman?"

You would think the answer to that question would be "Sure, if that person has a god damn vagina." but no. The answer was "yes" and anyone who didn't say "yes" then went on to be assailed by more lib prog propoganda.

So I looked at one of the women in the group and I asked "Do you really want a fat bastard like me dropping a duece in the women's bathroom?"

I think it was a wake up call to them that liberal progressivism does have consequences and sometimes those consequences can be dire.

It was a small win, but I will take as many of those as I can get.

The color of the skin is the argument in the media, but the state of mind of this person is what really needs to be looked at.  She could identify herself as a clown, a witch, a Bruce, or a dog.  Makes no difference what she identifies herself as, other than expropriating at an opportune time.  Her psychosis is really what needs to be questioned here.

Of course she's psychotic. The entire liberal movement is based on the idea that Power is Narrative. So they've made up a bunch of stories: Liberation Theology; the Patriarchy; Race as Social Construct; White Privilege; Universal Human Equality; Diversity is Our Strength; etc. True Believers like Dolezal have spent nearly half a century stewing in a movement solely tasked with creating political fiction.

These anti-empirical, anti-historical, anti-logical narratives would just be harmless academic masturbation if not for the fact that Liberal "thinkers" have suborned the Institutions of Western Civilization and are now attempting to govern according to this nonsense. Thus a White Woman pretending to be Black will advance in an Agency dedicated to the advancement of only one particular race, which promotes Diversity as Our Strength, despite the fact that Race is just a Social Construct anyway, and anyone who disagrees is Racist. Nevertheless this woman will be fired because she's White. Or Trans-white. Or #wrongskin. Diversity be damned.

Tldr: your six year-old daughter can make up whatever stories she likes to play at her tea parties. You do not allow her to make Real Decisions. America, your Progressive Overlords are insane, hand them the keys to your Culture at your continued peril.

So, do they have care-change operations now?  You should seriously look into it.  There is no reason for you to remain in the closet now that Caitlyn Jenner and #OrangeLivesMatter have lead the way.  Don't be ashamed of who you REALLY are, inhibi.  After all, there are no longer any societal inhibitions limiting your self-identification.  You are what you say you are.  Anyone who disagrees is a self-loathing bigot!!!

Just so we are clear, I also identify as something I am not: A donkey.  In fact, I am quite popular in Mexico!  Have you ever seen one of my shows??

Boy, this really puts the Left in a bind. Racism, Sexism, Trans-whateverism cuts both ways. Unfortunately, Liberalism isn't about free choice, but believing what you are told to believe.

Heheh. 'Murica.

What passes as progressive in the United States is often puzzling. I'm not very familiar with the details of the Rachel Dolezal polemic, but I will say this: When you marry into a black family, their day-to-day troubles and challenges inevitably become yours as well. A point in case: Western society tends to categorically refuse to view biracial children as "white", no matter how light-skinned they might turn out as. Ergo, my son is liable to face the same sort of treatment or problems many people of color also face at some point in his life. This creates a strong bond of sympathy and solidarity because it is such a personal issue.

My guess is that Rachel Dolezal found herself in a similar situation, and has chosen to closely identifies with her loved ones. I do so as well, although I typically only feature a deep tan when returning from our annual holiday in Tunisia.

Hmmm.  there's a caveat there, though.

 

George Zimmerman sure was white - he was white all over the media.

 

But the many more incidences of blacks engaging in violence against whites [going by the stats, Mr. Larssen, I am in no way arguing genetic propensities or some such, simply introducing the occurence of the inverse scenario, if you will] ended up being - invisible.  The media does not cover those stories.

You can rest assured that this story will go away as soon as it's apparent to the MSM that it's a position of the liberal nutjobs that someone should be able to self identify with any race or gender that they wish to. We've already read about boys self identifying as girls and being allowed access to their locker rooms. We've seen the much hyped Bruce Jenner story paraded around.

Do you think that the MSM will come out and defend this lady's right to say she is black and then take a high paying job in the NAACP (away from a black, btw)? No fucking way,imo. The second that happens every fucking college application to Harvard will be from a native american indian or black.

Sooner or later even the most ardent liberal will understand that all labels will become meaningless when a white woman can say she is black and a boy can say he's a girl. At that point the language becomes meaningless since nothing can be defined.

And with that go the perks, for which there are many. BTW, I believe she road the negro fund scholarship train long before marrying a black man. Of course, I guess one could make the claim that she only married into the black race as cover for her misdeeds.

Yo Henrick. Just because you are a busted down ugly white fucker who had to go fishing in the negro dumpster to find a spouse desparate enough to marry your sad sack of shit self doesn't mean you necessarily ought to go trumpeting the facts from the rooftops every chance you get.

You are a severely stupid mother fucker who, when taking the extraordinary trouble to experience the hell and hassle that is conceiving and raising children, should have at least made sure they would have the same eye color as the rest of your countrymen.

No doubt in your own liberal progressive mind, you are doing something noble, but I have to ask, how does the rest of your family and community feel about your noble sacrifice?

Please believe me when I tell you your sacrifice will end up having been for naught.

This world is not going to end up a uniform brown like Brazil no matter how many brown cows you dick manglers marry.

For however far the pendulum swings one way, ultimately it swings back the other.

Enjoy your five minutes in the sun looking down your crooked dripping bulbous nose at America. Your time is coming. And if your whole country is comprised of flacid dick blowhards like yourself, I dare say you will be just about as prepared to meet the new challenge as you were prepared to meet the last one.

The next time there's a race selection, I think everyone should ask "What race do I look to you?" or "What race would you like me to be?" or "Do I need to put what race I am or what race I identify as?"

IOW.. her mind is so 'elastic', that she'll say and do anything and re-invent herself in any way she needs to, to further her agenda, goals and lifestyle.

No different than a Khazarian identifying culturally and religiously as part of another Tribe (from the ME), and having the family name from a different Tribe (Anglo, Germanic, Nordic or Latin).  These people are the ultimate Shape-shifters and Survivors, who re-invent and re-engineer themselves on an ongoing basis.
