I’m pretty positive that even if father of child is white, she will still claim that the baby is half black.

You can’t teach effectively if you are full of shit and everyone knows it. No one is saying she needs to be black to be a good teacher or a leader of black men and women. She just can’t be demonstrably full of shit and totally incapable of earning the trust of people around her. Unfortunately she is both of those…

I’m too dense to understand how you could possibly prove that no one complained about her NAACP work or questioned her teaching.

No, I’m not at all. I’m saying that no one has a responsibility to hire or associate with someone just because they are capable of doing something. Not every industry or group treats honesty as flippantly as you seem to. Writers that are caught plagiarizing, military service members who lie about their service…

“I do have a high level of commitment and integrity to the cause,”

Being black had nothing to do with her ability to be a good NAACP head or a good teacher.

Well first of all, if you’re questioning the validity of male-to-female transitioning, then you’re transphobic. So there’s that. Second, “transracial” is actual a term used to define children of one race adopted into a family of another race and raised within that racial construct. Dolezal’s adopted siblings are…

Excellent! Thank you. This sounds like I’m headed towards an answer then. What IS gender identity about, if not the cultural narratives ascribed to the sexes?

I’ve been trying to Put into words what it is that I believe makes being ‘transracial’ A steaming pile of bs. It’s just the sheer privilege of it - she started her transformation as an adult so regardless of whether she says she has experienced racism, she hasn’t experienced it throughout her life, from before she…

Howzabout Kim Davis?

Is your comment a question of the validatity of male-to-female transitioning, or a statement that “transracial” and transgender are both legitimate, inoffensive non-normative identities to have?

As someone in academia, I tend to agree. This is a really interesting story to me from that standpoint alone (and again, she could probably give an interesting lecture on it).

Dolezal positioned herself as an expert based on lived experiences she didn’t actually experience. She didn’t just identify as being African-American, she made up a whole weird back story of abuse and racism and used that to claim special expertise on race. In addition - if I remember correctly - she dismissed actual…

She is articulate, charismatic, vain, and so tragically dissatisfied with her above-average gifts that she has murdered her own credibility.

I totally agree with you. I just meant setting aside all she’s done, I feel a little pity for her in her delusions.

She’s qualified in the sense that she still had the academic qualifications, but most colleges and universities aren’t going to hire someone who brings so much baggage to the table when there are so many other qualified candidates without it.

The story notes that Dolezal is basically unemployed and struggling financially.

I would pay a six figure amount to ensure June DOESN’T do porn.

If she really though she was a black woman, why did she sue for discrimination when she openly identified as white woman? As in, she charged that she was discriminated against because of her whiteness

they also were ready to pay same thing to Honey BooBoo mother, so its standard
