Rachel
Dolezal has turned into “God's Gift”
Folks, let's talk about race.
She
was the woman that pretended to be a black woman and worked for the
NAACP. We thought we were done with her, but she is back in the
news.
From
NY Posr.com, (( the
white NAACP leader who pretended to be black for years — has
reportedly changed her name to a West African moniker meaning “gift
of God.”
There
isn't anything wrong with embracing other cultures, but there is a
hint of a mental issue when you try to be something you're not.
Wouldn't it be strange if I pretended to be Japanese? Changing her
name like this helps her keep her face in the news. She has a book
deal. (Note, I am a guy that has tried off and on to write a book
and this crazy lady gets one.)
She
has allegedly fallen on hard times.
From
NY Post, ((the
infamous white woman who for years passed herself off as
African-American and rose to become head of an NAACP branch, is now
jobless, on food stamps and expects to soon be homeless.
))
Because I respect the Klingon
culture, I am going to rename myself “nuch 'ej QuQ 'Iv qet vo'
may''” It means “coward who runs from battle”. Translate
your own Klingon.
This
Transracial
thing really bothers me. Having grown up with black and white
friends, I never felt compelled to focus on just merely race. It is
always there, but not as much of a factor in my later life as some of
my mental and health struggles. Even saying the name Transracial
bothers me. However, I am certain there WILL be a time when you can
fully change your race to black or white...probably in our lifetime.
From
NY Post, ((“I
do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really
have that vocabulary,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “I feel like
the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m
white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white . . . Calling myself
black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.”
))
If
you only knew how much this pisses me off. I've been black my whole
life. I've had store detectives follow me and I've had people flat
out accuse me of being up to no good. I've had someone say the
“N-Word” around me. I've also had black people make fun of the
way I speak, because I don't speak “black enough”. I've been
called a sellout because I am critical of certain elements of the
black community. These are things you haven't gone through, Rachel
Dolezal, uh I mean Nkechi Amare Diallo. Being black isn't like
becoming a Power Ranger or Pokemon trainer. You are born with what
you have and you work on it.
Whatever she is calling herself, she doesn't need to be mocked, but given some help in the form of therapy. This is unhealthy and only going to end badly for her.
I
find it fitting that she WANTS to be black so bad, and I am a black
guy that people say I act TOO WHITE. Maybe, Miss Rachel Dolezal and I
are meant for each other. Hmm...
