In an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair, pop sensation Rihanna talks about her career and whatnot. Then, she talk about the race thief, Rachel Dolezal.
Rihanna said:
“I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit. Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.”
Interesting to say the least but hey, everybody has an opinion.
Melissa Harris Perry will sit down with Rachel Dolezal and talk about her "Blackness". Now, I'm not sure how this is going to go, but I hope Melissa really gets in there and break this down.
Rachel Dolezal has caused a lot of drama lately and finally, her little game has come to an end. I want to know how she did this, why she did this and did she really think she would get away with this.
So, this interview should be something to see. At least I hope so,
Dear Executive Committee and NAACP Members, It is a true honor to serve in the racial and social justice movement here...

I don't believe in Transracial, I just don't! And I don't think it's right to compare transracial with transgender. Some folks are trying to do it, but I'm here to tell you it's wrong.
I don't think you can be trapped in the wrong race. I get growing up in a certain neighborhood or country, and you have several unique experiences in those spaces. But at the end of the day, you can't turn around and claim you were born in the wrong race.
Now, Rachel Dolezal hasn't claimed to be transracial, because I think she knows better (maybe). But because of her, many people are questioning if it actually exist. Again, no it doesn't. It's make-believe, a lie and a weak argument. And to say it's the same as transgender... Girl, hand me your badge. Transgender is real. Trans women are not trying to pass as women, because they are women. The same for trans men. They are not passing or trying fool you intentionally. They are not lying to you, or stealing stereotypical pieces of your culture. So, don't get it twisted.
What Rachel did stems from her troubled life. Don't compare her foolishness with a trans person simply trying to live their true.
Baltimore, MD – For 106 years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds. NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal’s advocacy record. In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational, and economic justice for all people, and we encourage Americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization.
Hate language sent through mail and social media along with credible threats continue to be a serious issue for our units in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. We take all threats seriously and encourage the FBI and the Department of Justice to fully investigate each occurrence.
This woman, Rachel Dolezal, is the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. Now, looking at her, I would think she was possibly mixed... Possibly.
Now, she has been in this role for awhile and was on KXLY4 to talk about the hate crimes she's reported over the years. But here's the tea, this woman is WHITE. She has claimed that her father is Black, but the truth is her daddy is White. Her parents start calling her out on her mess and then this happened
It's sad and a bit funny in some ways. How and why did she do this? And she did think she could do this forever?
