It doesn't matter if you're Black or White
Rachel Dolezal, the civil-rights
president of the Spokane, Washington Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP)
has unapologetically resigned after being exposed to be of white origin.
Dolezal claimed to have
a black father on her application form to the organization, when in fact she is
of Czech and German ethnicity. Her guise was uncovered when her parents came forward
and unearthed her secret.
Rachael announced on Spokane NAACP facebook page that
she will be stepping aside and passing the baton on, but will not stop fighting
for human rights.
Even though it was a very heartfelt statement
Dozier is said to have snubbed a student for not being Hispanic enough, the
unnamed student stated that Rachael had said “I didn’t
look Hispanic, She doubted that I could share experiences of racial or ethnic
discrimination because I didn’t have the appearance of looking Hispanic.”
Isn’t that ironic and the pot calling the kettle black, sometimes the
things people say and do can comes back to haunt them in Rachael Dozier’s case
she was not even African American period.
Rachel Dozier cut herself off from her heritage and chose to become
something else although her background suggests that she identified more with
black folks due to the fact that she grew up with adopted black siblings,
married a black man and had black friends. And in Spokane, the
population is made up of only 2% black citizens.
Dozier is the only one that knows the reasons for her actions. It is a
struggle for African Americans and that is the whole reason for having an
organization that can work in their behalf.
Does it really matter in this world of hypocrisy and rules, statutes where
black folk have to fight to have a place? It’s hard being in a world where
black lives don’t matter. Where if a black person posed for white there would
be major consequences and repercussions to face.
With Obama speaking of reparations, will white folk that have no black
blood or heritage come forward and claim their place and take what rightfully
belongs to those deserving of what is owed to them?
Rachael Dozier is just the tip of the iceberg.

jefferyparks listen to her story
I wrote that above I'm not ashamed jefferyparks
I wouldn't care she fake her ethnicity. But she also received welfare money. And had lots of money from a book.. so she committed welfare fraud. she was stealing from some of the people she was claming to help.
Just another white person trying to fake their race. There's no coon in her.
