Too funny....'black' NAACP leader outed as white

[Pogo]

Always entertaining to watch Pogo try to nuance his way out of questions he can't answer or won't answer. He's always going off on tangents asking posters to prove their allegations.....go hunting for a second source and he'll belittle the source, but not the story. He'll pull this shit for hours if you let him....he's already side-stepped his "bigotry" charge about public restrooms, turning it into a question of "discrimination" instead. Then he claims we all discriminate completing the circle he's trying to lead you around. My advice? Don't play word games with him because you'll never get him to admit he's a doorknob or teach him anything.

No one met the Warren challenge. And so far no one has produced this "application" the current subject is supposed to have falsified. In this case I don't know whether it exists or not--- but apparently neither does anybody else. Point is, I require tangible evidence before I take on a belief; I don't just run with some meme because "Weasel Zippers" raises a question; that's not good enough. So sue me.

And I said nothing about restrooms being "bigotry" -- you did that, not me.

When whites want to be black, black must be pretty special. Ah, the privileged race.

When asked by a reporter if she was African American, she said she didn't understand the question.

Special, as in the power of victimhood.

The blacks are so privileged, ...they get all the slums in every city in America. Even the president is black, and you cans see how respected he is by the white GOP.

And every single one of those"slums" were new construction at one time.
Are you telling me that gangs of white kids would ride through in the middle of the night and trash those neighborhoods?
Or could it be the residents of the slums that made it that way?

So some woman puts fantasy into her identity. Who gives a shit? John Boehner runs around with the same color; it's got nothing to do with his job. Now if she's been reporting fabricated threats, that's a problem and should be dealt with -- but again, it's got nothing to do with the color of her skin.

As for ombudsmen and applications, I still have yet to see one. I do see a lot of wags running around with assumptions like they did with the Elizabeth Warren myth; I don't see any more of an informed source than "Weasel Zippers". Nor do I see the woman in question specifically claiming to be racially African -- again, a lot of assumptions.

As for the claim that only blacks can join the NAACP, somebody here recently -- I thought it was you actually --- strongly implied that in being perceived as black, this woman "brought shame" on the NAACP. So I simply inquired how that works. Any insinuation of "uneducated" is on your end.

Why shouldn't we give a shit? Because fabricating a false life and lying about who you are doesn't matter, or because you can identify as a race other than the one you were born with at birth(transracialism)?

OK that made as much grammatical sense as a bowl of Alpha-Bits, but no, identifying with a race other than the one you were born with doesn't matter.

I mean black people have been forced to do that for centuries.

So to clarify, you are in the transracialism camp? Meaning that like gender, race is a social construct where you can identify with a race other than your birth race?

ie. be a black person in a white person's body, like a woman can be "trapped" in a man's body

It beats me why some of y'all are so hung up on skin color. It's clear to me that when she identifies as "black" it means "black - the cultural term". Again, so what? Jimmie Rodgers did that when he started the genre of "country music". So did Elvis with his physical moves and enunciations. So do (white) sports players with "high fives". On and on. It's all part of the human goulash. Native Americans were shipped off to schools to learn "whiteness" -- involuntarily. And they were hardly unique in that predicament.

Now if there were such a thing as a transracial surgery, that would be silly. But again -- if somebody were to voluntarily choose that route, it's not my business.

This thread makes about as much sense as the Bruce Jenner threads. Let people run their own lives already.

It's not that we are "hung up" on skin color, as you put it.
We are however "hung up" on honesty and character. In the future, you and others on the left should consider exploring that apparent foreign final frontier of the left.

That's ironic (again) because after at least three posters floated out the E. Warren myth, when I threw the challenge flag the only link I got was from a right-wing blog made up to look like a fake Wikipedia page -- and even that didn't make the point the poster claimed it did.

So yes, by all means tell me about this "honesty and character".

Are you guys on the left high or something ?

I would have to go back and read each post, but I don't believe there was ever a claim here that only blacks can belong to the NAACP. If there is that claim it was probably only from one poster.
Please stop insinuating that we are uneducated, or unaware of who is eligible to belong to this organization.

The "point" you are seeking, is simply that we have an official in a leadership role who is going beyond simply trying to make herself physically appear to be black, but she's also "claiming" she is black, and
serves as chair of Spokane's independent police ombudsman commission, and identified herself as white, African-American and Native American when applying for the job.
She's also filed police complaints of racial discrimination, most recently that she received hate mail.

It appears that the left simply could care less about this story. Very puzzling.

So some woman puts fantasy into her identity. Who gives a shit? John Boehner runs around with the same color; it's got nothing to do with his job.

Some education for the uneducated


Many are surprised at the proportion of white faces in our NAACP Branch, but the most recent US Census Bureau data indicate Watauga County is 95% white. Many of us disturbed by actions of the NC legislature these last couple years, have been inspired to action by a renewal of fusion politics through the NAACP NC's Moral Movement. The birth of this new Branch is creating new opportunities for building more diverse local relationships across groups that haven't always mixed. As NC government enacts laws harming yet more and more of the population, people are finding more common ground and more strength in coalitions.

WATAUGA NAACP BRANCH - Home

I know, right? I still don't get the point of this thread.

If they DID require hires to be black (if they could even do that), then I could see your implied case of fraud. But since they don't -- I can't. Which leaves me back where I started -- if that's not it, what's the point here?

Show me where I implied that only blacks can be NAACP members.

My, you've got a short memory. This was only a few hours ago:

She has harmed the NAACP and made a mockery of herself

-- you even responded when I specifically asked about it.

Pass that doob, pal...

A lie is a lie is a lie. What else can anyone say? Obama claims to be black, people voted for him on that basis. He wasn't, he was mixed race. Is there shame in that? Obama ...beautiful child of mixed race. Oh, he IS BLACK. An then we have a white girl with wavy hair putting on pretenses for political gain, pretending. Lying. Integrity, anyone know what that is?

I am glad she is disrupting the NAACP and undermining their organization. This is great. Now there is a fracture between black activists and SJWs(mostly white and lgbt types). Black activist types are angry about her "appropriating blackness" and thereby using her white privilege to run the organization. The SJW nutjobs think transracialism is legitimate(as a consequence of accepting transgenderism) and are defending this mentally ill pathological liar under the guise that race is a social construct and she can identify as she wishes.

This is one of the best stories of the year and it is great seeing these weirdos cannibalize each other. So much troll material for us here it is ridiculous.

 

[Asclepias]

White girl is down for the cause. I like that commitment and the fact that she is an AA professor.

The issue is not her right to advocate for the black community. She has every right to engage this agenda regardless of race. The plain and simple issue is her lack of honesty and inclination toward deceptive behaviors that discredits her from her leadership role. She has harmed the NAACP and made a mockery of herself. I am not sympathetic toward this woman, but it's quite possible that she deserves at least some sympathy from some if she's doing this due to being emotionally unbalanced.

You guys have yet to produce any evidence she lied though. Its not her fault people thought she was Black. Face it. You were snookered again.

NOT TRUE': DOLEZAL'S MOTHER SHOOTS DOWN HER CLAIMS
In an interview with the Coeur d' Alene Press, Dolezal's mother shot down many other claims her daughter has made in interviews over the years. Specifically:

Dolezal's claim she was born in a tepee.

'Totally false,' said her mother. She and Dolezal's father once lived in a tepee but it was before Dolezal was born.

Dolezal's claim she once had to use bows and arrows to hunt for her own food as a kid.

Not true, says her mother.

Dolezal's claim she once lived in South Africa.

'Rachel did not even ever visit us there,' said Ruthanne, who lived there as a missionary.

Dolezal's claim her parents punished her 'by skin complexion' with a 'baboon whip' reminiscent of those once used on slaves.



'She is fabricating a very false and malicious lie,' Ruthanne said.

Dolezal's claim that Larry Dolezal, who is white, is actually her stepfather.

'Anybody who lives in the town of Troy or Libby knows that Larry is her father,' Ruthanne said.

[EverCurious]

I was actually a bit surprised that the NAACP didn't burn her at the proverbial stake. I think that was a good move for them in a lot of ways, I'd always thought of the NAACP has having a strong penchant for the "reverse-discrimination" thing, so their actions there have taken a little chunk out of that long-held belief.

That said, this woman is apparently "stealing" parts of her families lives and proclaiming it her own, she's also making stuff up about being a victim of hate crimes from the sound of it. That's kind of indicative of a mental issue and for her own safety I think she might need to talk over her feelings with a councilor or something.

Other than that, I actually have no problem with someone identifying as "black," "transracial," "#wrongskinned," or w/e name they want to give it. It may even be a good step in the direction of closing the racial divide that's opened up lately. However, I we should now rename all "Uncle Tom's" to whatever agreed upon term for both "#wrongskinned" (that's my favorite I think) to give this social experiment movement its best chance of successfully bridging the gap.

I'm 1/16th Creek and 1/4 Blackfoot but I'd still not check the NA box on any application

I was actually a bit surprised that the NAACP didn't burn her at the proverbial stake. I think that was a good move for them in a lot of ways, I'd always thought of the NAACP has having a strong penchant for the "reverse-discrimination" thing, so their actions there have taken a little chunk out of that long-held belief.

That said, this woman is apparently "stealing" parts of her families lives and proclaiming it her own, she's also making stuff up about being a victim of hate crimes from the sound of it. That's kind of indicative of a mental issue and for her own safety I think she might need to talk over her feelings with a councilor or something.

Other than that, I actually have no problem with someone identifying as "black," "transracial," "#wrongskinned," or w/e name they want to give it. It may even be a good step in the direction of closing the racial divide that's opened up lately. However, I we should now rename all "Uncle Tom's" to whatever agreed upon term for both "#wrongskinned" (that's my favorite I think) to give this social experiment movement its best chance of successfully bridging the gap.

I prefer the term Uncle Ruckus for Black men who forsake their people.

I think Uncle Ruckus is actually white but has some kind of skin pigment disease. That show is hilarious though!

heh I'm not at all surprised that you cannot find possible good in this turn of events and would prefer to make it racist. On the plus side, most of us are not so bigoted.

Though I will caution you that, as I said, I think this woman might have some psychological issues, so she might not be the best choice for you to hang your hat on as "forsaking white people." Not that it would harm your reputation any more than you already do yourself... ~Hands a pitchfork~ Carry on black warrior.
