In reply to the discussion: Rachel Dolezal Changes Her Name To Nkechi Amare Diallo [View all]maxsolomon
(33,345 posts)12. This isn't an attempt to garner more attention, it's an attempt to outrun it.
Did she pick your pocket or break your leg? No?
Have you ever read about her fucking insane fundy upbringing and her parents who adopted black kids and abused them? No?
By all accounts, she was doing a good job leading the NAACP in Spokane. She held a job as an adjunct professor at EWU, teaching African American history, too. She's competent, but her notoriety prevents her from pulling her life back together. With a new identity, maybe she can get a 9 to 5 job so she can afford to raise her kids. She has kids, you know - including a toddler, IIRC.
The judgment on DU regarding Dolezal is really unbecoming. Let her wave her delusional freak flag and save your anger for actual monsters, LIKE THE RUSSIAN STOOGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

"she can't find a job and the only work she has been offered is in reality TV and porn."
