So if you say you are white are you white? She could have taken a break from being black and gone back to being white anytime she wanted. Real black people don't have that option.
Hogwash! If I start telling everybody I'm a Klingon and start dressing like a Klingon does that make me a Klingon? No, but people would laugh at me and refer to me as "that Klingon guy"
thats a bad example. As i said before i knew at least 3 people in south Louisiana that have done this the other way and they are black from black families. I could say im white, my mom great aunt and uncle where as white as can be and I visited them all the time when I was a lad.
Of course. There have always been light skinned black people who crossed over. I can understand why they did it. If they were perceived to be white the get better jobs, make more money, are not discriminated against and on and on. But Rachelle Dolezel grew up as a priveledged little blue eyed blond hair white girl to liberal but prosperous parents. Unlike a black person who passes for white to improve his lot in life, she is just a nut.
You have a point, but what is her motive. I cant imagine just for the experience. Because well, you know what i mean.
Nope, everybody knows she is white now. She was outed as a white woman at the local NAACP Banquet when it was discovered that she didn't like fried chicker or watermelon.
