NAACP Leader Exposed as White Woman in Blackface

Why do you care about her reasons if she's doing good? I don't think people have really described how this might damage civil rights advancement. Is it because she's promoting stereotypes?

Partly, also because the only reason why she did this was to identify with the black community, but the black community will most certainly not identify with her now that the truth is out.

There's no reason other than her own personal gain for faking this. She could've still been a civil rights activist without literally trying to be black. Just ask the millions of white Americans who are just that, white civil-rights activists. But she thought she'd get farther if she was black, so that's what she did.

And not only that, she's also commenting on the condition of modern of civil rights issues, talking about independent black women, etc. as if she were one of them, but it's completely dishonest.

Blackface doesn't magically become non-offensive just because someone is "using it for good".
 
Ok, GAF, you got Rachel Dolezal.

Goodbye, GAF.
 
There's no reason other than her own personal gain for faking this. She could've still been a civil rights activist without literally trying to be black. Just ask the millions of white Americans who are just that, white civil-rights activists. But she thought she'd get farther if she was black, so that's what she was.
.

..Or maybe she's mentally ill and 'fits' in a black persona better? I mean, people keep saying she's doing it for personal gain...she must be going in deep if she's adopting black kids, marrying a black husband, being in the NAACP. Maybe, maybe you can make the argument that she couldn't get anywhere in life being white, so she decided to...I dunno, start wearing blackface and get ahead that way.

Maybe she's just mentally ill? I dunno, people are weird. Some people think they're animals for crying out loud! It gets weird.

This thread has made my week. I seriously needed this after work today.
 
This is some Batman shit.

It would probably make a good movie. "You want to help black people, but you have to be more than just a white woman in the mind of your opponents".

What is a black persona?

Its not a bait question, I dont think its fair that you should answer it either, there is simply no such thing as a black persona.

which is pretty hilarious because the mental illness defense doesn't work anywhere near as well for Black people

A persona is well, another way to say 'She is pretending to be a black person.'

She literally fabricated this story of herself being black. That to me screams out mental illness.
 
Partly, also because the only reason why she did this was to identify with the black community, but the black community will most certainly not identify with her now that the truth is out.

That's no good. What stereotypes was she promoting?
 
Jesus Christ what a weird story. Somethings gotta be wrong with her for her to do this. Lying about your heritage and appropriating black culture in a really stereotypical way is really offensive.
 
But what good is she doing again? She is not some brave Caitlyn Jenner bringing awareness for transblack people all over America. She could have done all the good she did while being white, by showing that not belonging to a race does not take away your ability to empathize it to the point you fight for their rights, by showing that kindness transcends race. Instead this just seems incredibly narcissistic, twisted and even helping to spread racial segregation:
CHRA52KWgAEKD_t.jpg


I mean, what is this shit? If her goal were equality she wouldnt be saying this. This is incredibly divisive and whatever good she has done is irretrievably lost, not because of the internet mob or tumblr people that write 1000-word blog posts like that salty dude in the last page said because he was too afraid to name-drop mumei, all the potential good she made came from a place of dishonesty, a dubious self-serving source, there is nothing salvageable from that wreck.
Having people come and tell those minorities that they should be thankful for this is just patronizing.



Im not talking about the job, no one cant state that she got that job because she is fake black, im talking about the personal please she is getting from this, its like a weird variant of slumming,

To be honest, I don't know what good she is doing. I just assumed that a leader of the NAACP would be doing good, but I guess that doesn't have to be the case. I'll believe your second sentence and assume she did do good during her time there. Yeah you're right that she could've done all that while identifying as white, but she didn't. I just don't see why that part in itself should be a cause for outrage. She did do good after all.

That picture where she's being narcissistic. Yeah that sucks. She probably is being narcissistic there. :p

Also in that other picture it looks like Tyrese is the one likelier to spread racial segregation, and she's just calling him out. I don't quite get how that picture puts her in a bad light.

Yeah I agree that there won't be much salvageable from this wreck, but I do think it's because of overreactions to her dishonesty. Idk man. I'm just trying to piece all this together.
 
What's "no good"?

Sorry. I'm not a good writer/quoter. You said "Partly" to my question "Is it because she's promoting stereotypes?" and my response to that was "That's no good" as in it's no good that she's promoting stereotypes. Sorry for the confusion.
 
Is it a crime if she gained anything from her lies? You get in trouble for lying about other stuff like age and DOB. I'd think she'd be in some serious heat.

Isn't she racist for doing it?

If I acted like I was Chinese or Japanese to get a job overseas I'd probably get worse than what she'll get. It's fraudulent and downright disrespectful.
 
Are you honestly being serious now? This is GAF so I don't know sometimes and I'm off base. You can't 'feel black', you either are or you aren't. You can't feel gay, you either are or you aren't. This woman is not black, and she never will be.

West Side Story lied to me!

Probably not really relevant, but I totally think you can feel gay.

Oh, OK. No worries!
