Rachel Dolezal quits NAACP

Rachel Dolezal, 37, head of the Spokane branch of the NAACP (Not Actually A Colored Person, or so she thought) has quit her post after her white parents accused her of being white. Ms. Dolezal has been portraying herself as a black woman and allegedly told her adopted siblings not to "out" her to anyone because it would hurt her career choices and her credibility when falsely reporting racially-motivated hate-crimes.

When questioned by a reporter as to whether she was an African-American, Ms. Dolezal told him that she didn't understand the question. He spoke slowly the second time: "Are . . . you . . . an . . . African- . . . American?"

She offered no answer.

Ms. Dolezal said that she remains committed to fighting for "what is right and good in this world" except for honesty, integrity and the American way.

She was scheduled to speak at a chapter meeting Monday about issues regarding her racial identity, but canceled. Other liberal folks who "feel" that Ms. Dolezal is black, still planned to meet Monday night because, hey, it's Monday and there's nothing good on television.

Like the true pseudo-professional she is, Ms. Dolezal tendered her resignation on Facebook. She received 1,213,459 "Likes" for her decision.

"This is not me quitting, this is a continuum," the poser wrote. "It's about moving the cause of human rights and the Black Liberation Movement along the continuum from Resistance to Chattel Slavery to Abolition to Defiance of Jim Crow to the building of Black Wall Street to the Civil Rights and Black Power Movement to the #BlackLivesMatter movement and into a future of self-determination and empowerment."

When a Facebook follower asked her if she knew what year it was, she responded: "I don't understand the question."

Dolezal also said that serious problems plague Spokane's black community but "the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity."

Some members of the NAACP were planning to demand her resignation. Kitara Johnson, a bona fide black woman with a birth certificate to prove it, organized an online petition calling for the white Dolezal to take a leave of absence.

"It's not about race, it's about integrity. If you're a leader, you have to have integrity. She clearly lacks integrity. The other piece is credibility," Johnson said.

The NAACP supported Dolezal because it is possible that this once-upon-a-time non-partisan institution now lacks integrity and credibility. They have tried to dismiss Dolezal's lie by bringing "racial identity" into the mix. So if Dolezal identifies with being black, that works for them.

What if she identified with being African-Lebanese? Is it really any different?

Where is Martin when you need him?

Harriet Tubman

Ruthanne Dolezal, Rachel's biological mother, (and not even distantly related to Harriet Tubman) revealed the family's ancestry as Czech, Swedish and German with a little dab of Native American. 

So, Elizabeth Warren aside, makes Rachel white or perhaps black-Swedish, at least biologically.

Dolezal may have told a little fib about her ethnicity when she applied for the Spokane police board. But for now, Spokane police are suspending investigations into her racial-harassment complaints and looking into her racial-asshat complaints made against her by the public.

Notice how it's mostly the left that defends lies and incredulous claims.

Sadly, Rachel Dolezal could have presented herself honestly and thereby done a lot more for the NAACP. The only thing black about her is the eye she gave them.
