Im sure we remember curious case of one Ms. Rachel Dolezal. White woman pretending to be black, gets found out and is subsequently scorned by everyone. Article is a whole lot of hamstering, dissonance and straight up mental illness.

Before and after for those unfamiliar...





Guardian.com Sob Story

Quote:Two years ago, life was going well for Dolezal. Branch president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and chair of Spokane’s police ombudsman commission, she was well known and respected for her civil rights activism. Her Eastern Washington University students adored her; her 21-year-old son was about to intern for a diversity advocacy group in Washington DC; her younger son was doing well in high school. When a local TV news crew arrived one afternoon to interview her, Dolezal thought they were there to talk about hate crimes.

“Are you,” asked the reporter, “African American?” Like a cartoon, her features froze. “I don’t understand the question.” The reporter pressed, “Are your parents white?” Dolezal turned from the camera and fled.

Footage of the confrontation flew around the world. Dolezal’s white parents released photographs of their daughter as a blonde white child, and appeared on TV to denounce her as a fraud; she had been living a lie, pretending to be black, when she was no more African American than they were. Dolezal resigned from her NAACP position, was fired by the university, lost her local newspaper column and was removed from the police ombudsman commission. Enthralled by her disgrace, talkshows and radio phone-ins sneered and raged. Why did she do it? What had she been thinking? When it emerged that she had once sued a university for discriminating against her because she was white, Dolezal’s notoriety was complete.

Today Dolezal is jobless, and feeding her family with food stamps. A friend helped her pay this month’s rent; next month she expects to be homeless. She has applied for more than 100 jobs, but no one will hire her, not even to stack supermarket shelves. She applied for a position at the university where she used to teach, and says she was interviewed by former colleagues who pretended to have no recollection of having met her. The only work she has been offered is reality TV, and porn. She has changed her name on all her legal documents, but is still recognised wherever she goes. People point at her and laugh.

The 39-year-old says she can count the friends she has left in town on her fingers. “Right now the only place that I feel understood and completely accepted is with my kids and my sister.” She has written a memoir, titled In Full Color, but 30 publishing houses turned her down before she found one willing to print it. “The narrative was that I’d offended both communities in an unforgivable way, so anybody who gave me a dime would be contributing to wrong and oppression and bad things. To a liar and a fraud and a con.”

I don't doubt that she was turned down by over a hundred universities to be a professor. Was she applying to jobs trying to clean people's houses or something similar? I doubt it. Her old life as president of the NAACP is over. She can still be a productive member of society and work, just not as a civil rights activist pretending to be a black woman.

edit, I am sort of curious how much porn companies were offering her. I guess the plot of the film would be that she gets busted pretending to be black and then gets fucked in a gangbang as punishment or whatever.

It's funny until you remember who pays the foodstamps. I find it hard to believe stores wouldn't hire her to stock shelves. Unless, her masters in gender studies makes her over-qualified for Walmart.

This is a good example for society of what happens when crazy people decide to go against nature and arbitrarily change their race or gender.

Good. This needs to be happening to everyone trying to play victim Olympics and identity politics in this country. Of course, we know that's not why she's ostracized; it's because she's a white woman who tried to pass herself off as black. A sin of the highest order, trying to acquire minority sympathy and victim status when you yourself are the great evil.

I don't believe she really is busting her ass applying for jobs like she says either. What a giant ego she still has thinking everyone everywhere knows her, as if the dude flipping burgers at burger king gives a fuck about this idiot. I hope she goes into porn and puts the cherry on top of this trainwreck of a life path she's chosen. My hearty laugh will never cease if she caves.

She doesnt have any friends anymore, except the one that just paid her rent. Now they can't pay it next month, so they aren't friends anymore. Sounds like this lady really thinks the world should take care of her.

And why not take the reality show gig? That pays big bucks if its successful?

Aloha!

How the hell does Shaun King still get away with pretending to be black?

How come this didn't happen to Shaun King yet? Hell_is_like Newark bet me to it. Elizabeth Warren wasn't effected either.

I have a very hard time believing that people still recognise her. We've already seen that she's very skilled at changing her appearance.

My verdict: she's lazy, unintelligent and unskilled. All she knew was academia, and now that's blown and she's without a paddle. There's a real lesson in this, everyone should have more than one skill. You can't just rely on being able to do one job.

Shaun King was never a president of NAACP, he had a falling out and is no longer a leader at Black Lives Matter, but he still works for the Young Turks as well as doing freelance media work, and they have no problem with him pretending to be a Black activist.

From what I can tell, he is just a race huckster on youtube, and other alternative social media.

If his parents came out and said he was mentally ill he would be done. Dolezal lost her frame by not defending herself and sticking with her fake story. Talcum X has defended himself and called his own mother a whore to cover up the issue. Dolezal failed to hold frame and her parents did the right thing.

Kosko you should offer this bitch a role in your next porn movie, she'll probably do it for $50.

A role and a pole!

Those of you claiming you don't care, you're wrong and you should:

This story should be publicized far and wide, as a warning to others. We all here know that shaming works.

Pretending to be black served her well, she even married a black medical doctor when she went to Howard. If she did not come up so spectacularly using resources specifically tagged for black people (scholarships, internships and jobs) I could find sympathy. I am sorry for her children however, they are the primary victims of her deceit.

When will Shaun King submit to a DNA test? Was that controversy ever resolved?

If she pays $50 of her food stamps, how will her kids eat?

With the proper utensils, like most people do.
