Is Rachel Dolezal the first known transracial person?

13. Your welcome

I just think we need to be aware - those of us born in the 1970's and black or bi-racial (My mom is a white woman) -

We HAD these experiences. Mine was in a small town outside of Rochester NY.


If we look through her childhood -she never experience foaming at the mouth racial prejudice *on sight* from non blacks.

*On Sight* - has nothing to do with 'when' she claims she personally became a black person -

It was American's and peers perception of her. I truly don't believe she knows what it's like to be a small child and have an older white man do that, or an older white woman refuse to take a mint out of a candy bowl at a restaurant just because you have a brown hand.

Feeling like something has nothing to do with BEING something.

Look at it like this - I don't get to 'co opt' being a white woman married to a black man and that experience in the 1960's . . . That's a specific set of experiences based on white skin that I can never relate to.
