Elizabeth Warren, courtesy phone please …
An NAACP leader’s parents have made a startling revelation: their daughter, for years a highly visible civil rights activist in Eastern Washington, is white.
Rachel Dolezal, Spokane’s NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington University, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her parents say.
Her mother even offered photographic proof. While today the 37-year-old divorcee currently sports tight, dark curls, her mom Ruthanne Dolezal showed KREM photos of the fair and freckled blonde daughter she once knew.
Dolezal is now facing a city ethics probe after she identified herself as black in an application to serve on a local police ombudsman commission – a position she secured. […]
The Dolezals remain in Northwest Montana, where Dolezal grew up. It is not clear why they have now shared the revelations but Dolezal has previously said that she no longer has any contact with her parents. In articles in the Easterner, she claimed they were violent towards her.
But her father denies this and said that Dolezal cut off all communication with them and doesn’t want them to be seen in Spokane ‘because we’re Caucasian’, Buzzfeed News reported.
Rachel has also claimed a fair number of “hate crimes” directed against her, none of which have ever been solved.
In a more recent claim of racially motivated harassment, Dolezal made local headlines early this year when hate mail was supposedly sent to her at the NAACP post office box in Spokane.
However, police reports on the case revealed this week that whoever placed the letters and packages into the box would have had to have the key because none had bar codes or stamps.
Then there’s this wonderful bit …
I stand by #RachelDolezal.

Sadly, reading the replies to Elfwick, there are people taking him seriously.
Add in “Caitlyn” Jenner and the whole identity politics schtick has jumped a lake filled with sharks.
I pity the writers at the Onion. Reality is catching up with them.
Good Godfrey, Godfrey.
Go elfwick yourself.
Loser.
Oh yeah, this is that guy guy.
He’d be unbelieveable if he weren’t so believeable.
Shoot first, ask questions later.
Beware the hook, line, and sinker.
Not to mention lesbian seagulls.
And cats.
Yeh its got to be less work to change one’s race than it is to change one’s gender.
Dolezal is now facing a city ethics probe after she identified herself as black in an application to serve on a local police ombudsman commission – a position she secured.
If the hiring was colorblind, that won’t matter.
And if it wasn’t, isn’t that a violation of the Civil Rights Act?
Social construction transitions out of the closet and jumps a shark.
Nature is a cruel Muther.
The “Freak Show” must go on.
By the way, 80% of all statistics on the internet are made up (including that 80% number)
Scroll down here as it just gets weirder and weirder.
Wouldn’t this be described as “cultural appropriation?” Same for Caitlyn too?
Two things: First, I am reasonably certain that Godfrey Elfwick is a sly, tongue-in-cheek parody account that mocks progressive thinking by making the most ridiculous assertions. Secondly, I think that everyone who is mocking this stuff should really read Milo’s heartfelt plea for tolerance here:

I think he has the best take on things I’ve seen.
gb, woot!
Wake me up when we get to people who think they’re fish.
She sounds like a jerk…
Ask any liberal, Clarence Thomas has been passing himself off as Black for years.
BTW, anyone who says my parents are polar bears is a damn dirty liar.
I’m no head shrinker, but this looks like classic <a href="
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1469-7610.1962.tb02043.x/abstract"child displacement syndrome to me.
She should probably see a real head shrinker to be sure…
Rats! child displacement syndrome…
Godfrey is DEFINITELY a parody account. The left can’t tell because they’ve lost their everlovin minds and don’t know where the lines are anymore.
@miafarrow has asked, apparently in earnest, whether transracial might be an actual THING, given that transgender is (guess which of those two terms was NOT flagged by my spellcheck).
@joanwalsh speculates that she might be emotionally damaged (ya think?).
This all has given me the courage to admit something I’ve not dared to since I joined the Internet as dicentra in 2002: I’m trans-plant. #WrongKingdom
Tell me I don’t have the brains of an herbaceous woodland perennial, if you dare.
(This is the best day Twitter has had in AGES. God bless the Internet!)
At an old job, I had a co-worker who was Japanese-American.
One day he came in all upset and muttered .. “I hate eggs !!”
“Eggs?” I said.
“You know .. white people who want to be Asian. White on the outside, yellow on the inside. They want to hang out with you so they can feel Asian.”
So, it isn’t just Blacks.
Wait, guinspen…
You’re not familiar with the exploits of the Master of all Trolls, @GodfreyElfwick?
He punked the BEEB, for heaven’s sake.
Once you know what he’s up to—sorry, what xe is up to—you’ll have a stroke laughing at his timeline, both at his tweets and the responses he provokes.
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C
Enjoy!

My understanding is that hospital burn units are doing some marvelous things with skin grafts these days.
Heck, some Italian claims he is going to do a head transplant. She can get one that no one is using. I would check MSNBC.

Greetings:
How’s about next Friday, instead of the 100-word Fiction, we have a 100-word “Twilight Zone” treatment concerning Ms. Rachel Dolezal.
Submitted for your consideration.
I identify with having a really big dick. And being tall. And rich. I’m tired of living a lie, y’know?
My strict Hyborian religious requirement for Zingaran Water Elves to soul touch my Ka also remains in play.
Just so long as you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. I hear that’s how Scientology got started…
“You soul touch my Ka, I soul breaka you face!”
her hair is so funky i love it
what mall does she go to
It’s a weave, all the black girls get’em…
weave me up scotty
Yeah, dice, I really need to get out of the pond more often.
When I first got to Santa Cruz 35 years ago there were already white people wearing “dreds” and generally trying to look Rastafarian.
