Echoing what was said in Gawker, there’s apparently some sort of federal law that says whenever Rachel Dolezal is mentioned, someone has to bring up gay and transgendered people.

What exactly are you trying to say here? That there’s essentially no such thing as consent?

Be awake and alert, listen to what your partner tells you, and if they look like they’re uncomfortable or not having a good time, they’re very likely not, so stop what you’re doing and ask them and if you get even the slightest intuition that they’re not enjoying it, stop.

Or because it’s an archaic, moronic system that has no actual rules, just people who feel VERY STRONGLY about their personal policy.

Why, its almost like consent is this fairly nebulous thing that is highly dependent on things like context in which it is asked for and/or given and the relationship you have with the person(s) you're seeking consent from!

So tired of those trolls. Like, I can understand that there are situations where racial identity can be a struggle. Biracial families, adopted families of different race, etc. So I don’t wholly dismiss the idea of “transracialism” as a concept (though, if you read my posts on this story it may seem that way since I’m…

This position of this article seems to be to really question if there are exploitative practices in the sex industry. THERE ARE EXPLOITATIVE PRACTICES IN ALL INDUSTRIES. One can be sex positive, pro-porn and still believe that porn actors and actresses can be treated really bad. Do you believe the porn industry is…

Yup.

I said this on another thread but this is like some racial version Münchausen syndrome. She is hardcore lying about being the victim of hate crimes. HATE CRIMES. She’s pretending to be black for attention and sympathy.

I’m black. In the photos above, she looks like black people I’ve known, but I better shut up before my blackness starts getting questioned...

“I’m very good at telling if someone is black or has a black parent and this woman does not look black to me.”

I’m very good at telling if someone is black or has a black parent

This is the only intelligent/rational thing I’ve read in the first 30 posts. But my least favorite line is this from Kara Brown: “What I’m saying is: I’m very good at telling if someone is black or has a black parent and this woman does not look black to me. I would have questioned this.” You can tell if someone is…

It is ridiculous to suggest you are born with some sort of innate 100% accurate ability to determine someone’s race based on how they look. Isn’t that a huge part of racial education in present day? Not to make assumptions based on appearance. I am “100%” (because who knows) african straight from Nigeria and I…

I am also black and I have relatives that look and speak just like this woman. I’ve been called an Oreo on more than a few occasions so maybe that invalidates my opinion but at the end of the day it’s just that, my opinion, and I stand by it. Every viewpoint you’ve expressed is just as anecdotal but because you’re…

Same here buddy. My half black, half white bff looks just like this chick. So I too would have not questioned her blackness.

It was already annoying being mixed and looking white without this “tragic faux-latto” bullshit in the news.

I have black family members who look just like this woman, down to their freckles, and green and blue eyes, though their hair is darker. I wouldn’t have questioned her blackness.
