That hair takes effort. She was definitely trying to do something.

Here’s a pic of her at Howard, she’s top left.

YUUUP. Caution, this is an opinion of a very white dude with very 2B hair, but appropriating Black women’s struggles to advance your own personal profile isn’t exactly selfless. Whether she’s a “bad person” or not doesn’t change the fact that what she did is a very bad and unacceptable thing.

Dolezal has also reported nine

alleged hate crimes to the police in the past 10 years because of her racial identity.

Because she’s LYING ABOUT BEING BLACK.

She took scholarships meant for black kids. She took education from black kids. That’s cause for more than ridicule.

This is the second time you’re making this comment. Clearly you’re not interested in opposing opinions but I’ll make my piece anyway: I would be okay with this woman being in the NAACP and rocking these hairstyles if she was honest about her racial background.

I hate the experience = gender argument. Experiences are a RESULT of gender, not the cause.

This is the double standard trans women are forced into. We aren’t “woman enough” for some people because we lack the “right experiences”, as if every cis woman on earth has the same experiences (thanks for that one, clueless white feminists), but we are being “gender essentialist” if we suggest for even a second that…

This isn’t surprising. Nasty Gal is known in the industry for being a terrible place to work - incredibly cliquish and with leadership that has no idea what the fuck it is doing. It’s particularly unfortunate that its founder has branded herself as a model for female leaders.
