Remember that white girl who posed as a black? She's back in the news...

Seems she's an outright crook also.

Fake black woman Rachel Dolezal now accused of welfare fraud — and the internet is roasting her hardcore

Rachel Dolezal, a former Washington State University instructor who was revealed to be biologically white after taking over the local branch of the NAACP, is facing welfare fraud charges.

Dolezal legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016. She maintains that she is “spiritually” black and felt “awkward” in her white skin.

She’s now facing charges of 1st Degree Theft by Welfare Fraud, Perjury in the 2nd Degree, and False Verification for Public Assistance, reports KHQ.

She could face up to 15 years in prison on these charges.

1. White "girl"? She's in her 40s.

I thought we'd got way past the bad old days when women were called "girls" until they became grandmothers. Rachel Dolezal is nuts but she's a nutty woman.

[Archae]

2. A woman is secure in their identity, and how she looks.

A girl is not.

This female (how's that?) is a liar, pretender, and corrupt as hell.

[leftstreet]

4. Would you have said 'boy' if it had been a male?

Would you consider a male not secure in his identity and how he looks, a 'boy?'

[Archae]

14. Yes. And I have referred to childish jerks (male) as a "boy."

Because they need to grow the fuck up.

[samir.g]

28. 'white boy' is a pretty common and acceptable term

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. You can't call a woman a girl just because you *think*

she's insecure in her identity - which in the case of Dolezal has to do with race, not gender. An adult female is a woman, not a girl, period. Ever. Black men were and still are degraded by calling them boys. This is exactly the same.

6. Thank you.

My first thought: Good greif, it is 2018 not 1718.

7. + 1,000

[Cal Carpenter]

29. This.

A quick edit would go a long way. But no, the OP doubles down. Sigh.

3. That whackadoodle has a Netflix documentary and a book

I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of her Netflix movie. It sounds like some people actually bought her book.

[Hortensis]

13. Chances she does not have a clinical personality disorder,

or at very least have strong signs of, i.e, suffer from whackadoodlism, are not good at all. Apparently fairly high functioning in spite of it, though. Many are poor and alone.

Hard to imagine that if Trump hadn't been left a fortune his dismal, depraved future wouldn't have, of course, included welfare fraud.

[TCJ70]

22. I watched the entire thing...

...she didn't sell more than a few hundred books.

5. We need to stop talking about her. Race IS a social construct.

Nothing biological or natural about racial categorization.

Rachel handled it very wrong, but she should be the future in many ways how race is handled. We need to decouple race from being an ascribed/inborn status, not doing so will give the alt right, far right, and systems of both overt and systematic racism another victory.

Race is as natural/biological/divine as class or gender... and it will not be with Rachel, but we do need to find ways to let society see this reality.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. No she shouldn't be the way of the future

My dad's mother could have passed and instead chose to be who she was (born in 1898).

A black woman could not have pretended to be white. I simply can't 'fake it'. Telling me I can - would be stupid and ignorant.

And you don't have to be black to raise black children (my mom is white). That's her other bullshit excuse for this game. You are being played. Point blank - you are being played.

Rachel is an insane nut bag crazy lady and I'm so sick of folks coming to the "black woman's" defense ONLY when the black woman is in black face. (Not targeted at you just in general - watching this absurd bullshit play out a few years ago).

I said it - and I'm not taking it back. She's a minstrel show and knows NOTHING about my life experience and should be SHUNNED by all of America for being a grifting, fake, phoney baloney piece of shit.

As for 'finding a way' -

It is totally incumbent on White Americans to change within. Richard Spencer? Change Within. No black person or Latino or Asian in America is responsible for a supposed grown as man's 'internal change'.

The responsibility lies entirely with the dominant culture . . . for now. 40 years from now? Might be a different story.

11. Spot on.

10. Except there needs to be some way to define it if we are to measure it

as well as if we are going to use it to set benchmarks or measure diversity.

And that is before we look at things like school admissions, scholarships, etc that are set aside for minority applicants.

If race is a construct than all measurements of diversity, racial impact of policies, discrimination, etc all are arbitrary as well.

There is a scientific way to measure your genetic background and your racial background. We can tell if you have genetic makeup from Africa or not, if you are Native American or not.

If it’s all a construct than what’s to stop anyone from claiming they are Native American and taking a scholarship set aside for Native Americans? What’s to stop a white person from declaring they are black or Hispanic and that their business is now a minority owned business to get the advantages given in some government contracts intended to help real minority owned businesses?

We can’t have any of the programs intended to help eliminate the racial disparities or counteract centuries of white supremacy if we don’t have a way to actually define race. We can’t even measure if racial discrimination exists on a micro or macro scale unless we can actually define what the racial differences are. Letting people just declare whatever race regardless of their actual background makes any of that impossible.

Maybe once we’ve achieved a decent level of true equality in society we can start trying to erase the notion of race from our society. But not before then, if we ever get there. Because trying that now will actually just do more to empower more white supremacy.

[Blue_Tires]

19. You realize she's just a grifter, right?

At Howard University she was 'white' and a few years later as a starving artist she was 'Native American'

[Tipperary]

20. Yes. Exactly.

[Lee-Lee]

12. I posted this in the other thread about her

6One thing about the kinds of deception like she did is that it very, very rarely happens in a vacuum.

What I mean by that is when you find the person lying about who they are- be it their education, their job, their military service, or in the rare cases like this their race- that is almost never the only fraud or deception they engage in an almost always there is another layer that is harmful to others or society and/or that is criminal.

Seems she isn’t an exception to that rule.

People will say “it’s not harmful” when the first deception is revealed about who a person fundamentally is, and maybe the first thing you notice wasn’t. But almost always on these types when you peel back the layers you find more and more that is.

As an example I haven’t found a single person who lied about their military service who also wasn’t engaged in some sort of deeper fraud or criminal act at that time or around it.

[Archae]

15. This has nothing to do with race.

It has everything to do with a woman who wants to game "the system" because she's a liar, and corrupt.

Simple.

[oasis]

16. Orange is the New White

She'll soon discover.

[Tipperary]

17. Is she Wypipo?

[stmac]

21. She's more wypipo than the wypipo , nt

[ProudLib72]

23. You are really into the whole "wypipo" thing, aren't you?

But don't forget that there are subgenres of wypipo like "Becky".

[Tipperary]

24. Yes, I find it fascinating.

Even more fascinating to learn there are “subgenres.” Still, no one has answered my question as to whether she is wypipo. Enquiring minds want to know.

[ProudLib72]

25. IMHO she is on the wypipo appropriations committee

[Tipperary]

26. Very good! I like that.

Poor lil wypipo wanna be blapipo. I read that her son, who is actually AA, is not really pleased with her appropriation nonsense. Kind of sad.

[ProudLib72]
