This makes me feel kinda icky :/

I see the possibility of her becoming a frequent guest on Fox News, depending on just how cynical she is.

At what point can we sit back and just acknowledge that this is her experience and look at it with a bit more empathy? She’s hurting.

If this was for real and this woman was just quietly living her life as a black woman, I would have some sympathy. I’d be confused, I would still have some issues, but I'd at least have some sympathy.

Listen, I agree that her parents are sketchy as fuck, but I don’t feel sympathy for her either. She is making a complete mockery of black women. She’s basically saying, “All you have to do to be black is wear shitty wigs, tan your skin, teach some classes about black people, paint some pictures of black people, and…

Guys, guys, if she feels black, we can’t argue with her feelings. Screw other people’s lives and history, Rachel needs to express herself.

STOP GIVING HER A PLATFORM FOR THE INEVITABLE BOOK THAT YOU KNOW THIS TRAGEDY WILL CALL WHITE SKIN BLACK MASKS

She won’t get any of my empathy. She is belittling black women. She thinks that all it takes to be a black woman is to tan your skin, wear shitty wigs, and take black dick. She is scum.

Yeah that might fly if she hadn’t sued Howard University for discrimination and claimed it was because she was white. This wasn’t when she was 5 years old, she was applying for a teaching assistant job at Howard. So her story changes to suit the questions being asked.

With all the courage and determination you’d expect of someone who resigns via Facebook much love and a commitment to always fight for what is right and good in this world,

Well, you know what they say about once you fake going black …

My favorite cliche is the part where she’s like, “It’s really sad that we’re focusing on this trivial story instead of on the real problems that affect the black community.” She got me with that one for a second! I was like, “That’s actually a pretty good...hey, wait a minute, goofball, you’re the one who took…

No, and it’s transphobic as fuck to suggest that they’re the same

Police brutality, biased curriculum in schools, economic disenfranchisement, health inequities, and a lack of pro-justice political representation are among the concerns at the forefront of the current administration of the Spokane NAACP.

She then gained legal custody of him in 2010 and began passing him off as her biological son.

While challenging the construct of race is at the core of evolving human consciousness

Why it got to be black?

Race is indeed a construct, but that is very, very far from it being a costume.
