What’s wrong with Rachel Dolezal? You can be an ally, we need all the allies we can get, but when you make a living and gain a reputation speaking about a lifetime of oppression you never faced, it’s at best false advertising, and at worst, objectifying an entire group of people, it’s cool to be black, mainstream culture appropriates the elements of blackness constantly. She can ‘identify’ all she wants, because to her it’s a choice, other people never get the choice, what they want is not a lifestyle, it’s equality and taking on that struggle without facing up to your origins is disgusting.

You know just a few years before her morphing she sued Howard University for discrimination as a white woman, I call bullshit on her ‘wanting to be black since she was 5′ she’s gaming the system, and she’s not a person worthy of defending in the cause of breaking down barriers.
