Rachel Dolezal is the head of the Washington state NAACP and teacher of Africana studies at Eastern Washington University. She's an outspoken member of the African American community. Only problem is, she's white. She's been lying about her race for years.
How do you get to the top of the NAACP without anyone realizing you're white?
I mean this sounds like an awful Waynes brothers movie.

Didn't the NAACP give a Image Award to the former owner of the Clippers Donald Sterling?

So if she identifies as black do we have to treat her as such?
Since i guess you can identify as anything now these days.
If she can't then if she did put herself down as black anywhere would that be fraud?

If a man can decide to be a woman, why can't a white woman decide to become black?
Hilarious indeed.

You mean as another, equal human being and citizen? Or as a savage?

The top rated comment on the CNN article about this was that this sounds like a Chappelle skit.

Read this this morning.
What she did was stupid and awful.
However she never did anything to hinder the group or their cause as far as I read. So if the members want to get rid of her so be it.

Go back to the beach, or if you are at the beach put your damn phone away.

Well you could see committing fraud and basically making the group look like asses for not checking on their president's back story as kind of hindering...

It that "legally" fraud though? Like can the position only be held by an African- American for example?
If she lied to get the job I totally agree with you. If she lied but earned the job anyway I don't think so.
Either way she's got some kind of issues to deal with.

So she's transracial...don't be a hater.
And why can't a white person run the NAACP? It would be discrimination if they couldn't.
