Showing Original Post only (View all)Rachel Dolezal's pathological privilege [View all]
Is absolutely mind-boggling. This woman has been passing herself off as a black woman for 20+ years. I am curious as to what made her feel the need to adopt a different racial and cultural identity other than her own. She didn't need to misrepresent herself to do any of the things she's done...so what IS her motivation? Whatever it is, I can't see how she can continue perpetrating and lying, and making up shit about her life now her parents have outed her, but I am sure she will try. And, apparently she's an anti-white bigot to boot, according to one of her adopted brothers. If this isn't white privilege, I don't know what is. She put her ego needs and self-hatred above...everything...and completely LIED about who she is...not once, but repeatedly over several years. She's concocted a complete LIE of a life, and she has gained (e.g., a scholarship) based on her self-serving lies. I don't suppose the NAACP can fire her for this, but god lord, she definitely needs some couch time. Thoughts?
