I'm confused, just say you are white and enjoy black culture, everyone else does.
Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾its not hard‼❤
100% facts. My only issues with her to be honest is the opportunities she obtained from identifying as part of the black culture. It’s opportunities she took from someone truly deserving. We made Aunt Becky pay the price for the college admission fraud. This was no different
@@veronicacure4200 RACE is a white man's invention. You won't find it in the bible. Stop with this "lost opportunities" nonsense. This girl Rachel DOES HAIR for a living. There are no lost opportunities to do hair. Stop being ridiculous. Love this woman. Don't hate. Congratulate.
@@kevc21 tribalism is the root of where Racism derived from
@@igot5onit214 Not true. "Race" categorization came from Germans. Stupid evolutionists: Darwin and his ilk. You got that racial concept from Darwin.
No one even talks about her anymore, why do black people keep giving this woman clout?
Because she attached herself to being black so interviers think we want to watch this
@@godsgirl7201 if black people stop attaching her name, she wouldn't be relevant...make her go away by stop recycling the hashtag
Because black people are soooo easy to accept anything instead of calling people like her out . I rather have people respect me than being someone who im not
Because so many are lost.
But you're here watching... 🤔
Rachel grew up with extremely religious parents who adopted black kids and refused to teach them their true history. She started teaching them (in secret) about themselves as black people and exposed them to black history art & culture. She fell in love with blackness through teaching her adopted siblings.
They were abused by the parents and molested by her real brother.
She’s so extreme in her actions because of how extreme her parents were with their religion. She wanted to distance herself from her real family and found a home in black culture.
There’s a difference between appropriation and APPRECIATION.
Im only posting to provide UNDERSTANDING.
Yes she lied but I truly understand why so I don't harbor any bad feelings towards this woman. Its not worth the energy. I simply want to provide understanding & would do the same for anyone who wanted to tell their story.
I love my people and i pray we get the healing we need to rise above all the hate & ignorance that blocks us from being our best selves.
May God bless us all.
💯 exactly!
Thank you for sharing this. I can't help but admire Rachel. Black people have no problem wearing their hair straight or blonde, but when white people wear braids it's a problem?
@@domu9239 the only difference here is...Rachel is not just wearing braids! She has an identity crisis which she seams to continue to deny. It is unhealthy to not love and embrace who you are. If what was said here is true then that explains the dysfunction. It started from her own family life. A healthy mind contributes to a healthy body and soul. Good consistent therapy would be beneficial in this situation.
Thank you!! I admire Rachel for that and it breaks my heart that she's treated so poorly for appreciating Black culture. FINALLY someone who openly loves and appreciates black culture.
Are you'll freaking serious....._WOW!!!😦😦😦😦😦😦
I find that she’s standing in front of a giant map of Africa and a photograph of an African tribesman, absolutely hilarious 😂
I know. It is so extra!
All of humanity came from Africa. Nothing wrong with acknowledging her roots
Why ? she spent her whole life in African Studies .
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She hasn't learned her lesson. I think i can see why she is still unable to find work. I bet what she brings to interviews must be so infuriating and disingenuous.
It’s crazy how she closed up the interview by encouraging people to be exactly who they are.
🤣🤣🤣
Well tamrA husband is..... never mind
I know I caught that too
Well not being hypocritical...but what about all the Blacks pretending & changing to be white aka "Passing" . Blacks, especially black women have bleached their hair/skin, changed their walk/talk, straightened / changed hair texture and even carried on fake identities to be considered as White. What's the big difference??? Life is what you make it & all wrongful things sooner or later come to the light. Hers came out....so just acknowledge it ,move on & avoid throwing stones in your own glass house!
@@mjbizz6587 White passing is not a real thing. If you are white, you are white, NOT PASSING. You get all the privileges and whatever comes with being white. This whole being white-passing was invented by some AA to justify that someone was still black. If you are white, you are white. No passing lol. And yes, regardless if one of your parents is black. Look, the One-Drop rule was a slavery law. And two, AA contradicts themself when they use the term White-Passing because they are the same saying that black people have the Eve gene that can give birth to any race. SO, how is someone white-passing them? If you are white and look white, you are white.
She needs to take her own advice and be who she is
It's the culture she has
This woman freaks me out, especially how she makes the whole racial thing about herself and she refuses to understand that her sons are suffering because of her refusal to check herself. How does she not see how this is wrong and the only thing that sticks to her is this victim complex? She just wants to be seen and understood without being questioned at all
Exactly, Caro Lina, on each point you make. And after all these years, she has literally not said the words that she made it up, was lying, was deceitful to people or anything close to an apology.
What goes right over her head is that she is displaying, more than anything, more than loving black culture, is her typical white girl/entitled behavior. She may love black culture, or has convinced herself that she does, but she certainly doesn’t understand it.
Can y’all leave this woman alone?
I was waiting til the end, expecting that freak of nature to say, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night”
@@BetterMe981
I agree with you 💯
Rachael Dolezar made the Black American History of Oppression about herself, a white privileged woman who really doesn't give two shits about the true lives of Black Americans
@Donny Hathaway Y'all also ran her out of her job and social circles for something so petty, I would be on TV at every opportunity too. Biracial people do the same thing all the time, this is such a non-issue. She dedicated her life to the black community's success, whether she lied or not about herself s really irrelevant. But black people still go around givign the Kardashians media support, buying other white-owned brands that literally just use black people and dispose of them when they are no longer useful.
They don't adopt black kids and certainly dont give a hoot about what the NAACP is doing or is trying to do. She did more for the black community than half the people in this country, black and white together, so it's sad that people can't forgive this very small thing. Let the woman have peace and see herself as black if she want to. When we all die, the we shrivel up to have the same old bones. This racial tension is getting out of hand.
We need to leave Rachel Dolezal alone black people ( media and all people). We don't really know the back story of childhood and why she prefers to identify as black. As for being white and being able to teaching "black studies"...is that impossible or should it be impossible ? Without a doubt she knows she was born white and now that it's all out in the open, I think she should be able to identify as black just as Trans Women identify as women.
"Be exactly who you are"- The artist formerly known as Rachel 😆
She's still appropriating Black culture, she hasn't learned her lesson. You can appreciate without appropriating. Her idea of Blackness is a caricature, a minstrel show, and it's disgusting.
She identify as black. People can switch their gender but not their race lol. I personally don’t agree with either one but it’s interesting to say the least.
appropriating?? lol
@@Awillii Yes, the hypocrisy should hopefully shed light on this simple truth ... that you can't identify as something you are not based on feelings ... no matter how much to change yourself to look like it.
@@ikoyDaPnoy right, it takes more than a feeling to be a man/woman or another race. Then people, out of respect, have to address people what the identify with. Feeding more into a lie.
She’s been unemployed for 6 years….. man really went in deep on her façade. She’s definitely black.
I would recommend anyone who hates her to watch Cydnee Black’s video on her. Not everything in life is what it seems at the surface. I can’t say that what she did was good or bad but honestly after hearing the whole situation, I can’t help but feel sympathy for her.
Wait you're actually asking people to not make snap judgements on someone and instead do their own research into a situation before coming to an informed conclusion???
@@theguybrarian I know, crazy right? 😅
The fake applause when she popped on the screen 😅
She seems like a very nice woman. I think as human beings we have a lot to learn about being happy for or at the very least learning to accept other people. Especially when society, more particularly our media “exposes” them for a controversy one way or the other. There is some kind of primal urge within many of us to pile on people, to take out our insecurities we find within ourselves on others. It’s such a god damn bummer. I think the saying “bad news travels fast” in a way validates the idea that we have a lot to learn about acceptance. Small minds tend to discuss other people, where as great minds tend discuss ideas. We are a small minded species clearly.
I really love her😂 I feel like why are people allowed to identify as toilet seats and she can't be black?
It’s the actual comments of praise towards a person who plays dress up as a black woman and stole from us!
A beautiful soul would be an ally who isn’t a cultural appropriator! One who doesn’t steal jobs from us! One who doesn’t steal our plight to escape being mediocre in the face of her actual people!
I question Tamron’s ability to make sensible choices allowing this to air during black history month and being so damn passive!
Throw the whole conversation and woman away!
But is it okay to change genders?
On the subject of being transgender verses transracial equality and equity helps in the argument to eradicate one over the other! As a cisgender woman, I don’t overly insert myself in trans identity issues, but I consider myself to be a healthy ally!
Here’s my honest perspective on “transracial” as an identity. It only works one way. Speaking specifically to the black and white races, being that Rachel is in fact a white woman who claims to be black, well claiming human now🙄! If the circumstance were reversed it would be blasphemous! A person born black could never reap the benefits of attempting to claim white, we’d never access white privilege! Not a single system would allow it! We’d still be shot by the police for breathing, we’d still be mistreated in healthcare situations, we’d still be denied jobs based on the color of our skin! There is no amount of mental disturbance, lies sold to self, skin bleaching, or willful ignorance that could erase one being black! So, if this were an actual thing, why does it only work for everyone unless they are in fact black?
👏🏼🙌🏼
@@alaafiara4296 So your problem is her fair skin and the fact that it is our eyes used to classify us racially. Her identity is wrought with lies, but she's better equipped to raise black men with a sense of racial pride than a black woman married to a white man can if said black woman selects "biracial" or assimilates more with the white identity.
You do realize that a person can change their gender on paper, support/advocate for LGBTQ rights, and still dress in a suit, never take female hormones, and walk right into a girls bathroom and not be questioned, based solely on how they feel they are not in how they appear to be?
Why can someone identify themselves as trans but she can’t identify being black?
im transracial white im bout to move to finland to get away from pure black people....naw it's not transracial if you mixed with it..
Extend her a tremendous amount of grace and mercy. She can recover from this. What I see is she has a huge identity crisis, to me it seems to me that she doesn’t really accept she’s beautiful,admire and appreciate the way God truly made her. I wish her the best of luck on her journey. May she find peace joy and prosperity.
Lady, bye.
@@Bloombaby99 But, Black women can pretend to be white by bleaching their skin and flattening their hair. I believe black women are going through a crisis...🤦
@@eara8426 though I somewhat agree that it’s a massive problem in the black community but first you’ll need to deconstruct colonisation to get a respectable response, and also consider that the black woman who bleach and whitenise their nose are not trying to be white nor do they get white privilege, they will always be considered as black and treated as such
@@jumokeonifade85 they still wanna be white tho
I agree. My heart goes out
She brought this on herself.
We’re all accountable for our actions.
I feel sorry for her kids.
I wish them well.
She knew it would be easy to excel in that community. She was rising to the top quickly and did it better than a vast, vast, vast majority
of them. Did she REALLY just say " You can't change who you are" !!!??? Anyway,,,,,
she would NOT have risen in her own community as easily as she did in this one.
The only miscalculation was that they get paid much less in this community than any other and though she was rising to the top and doing such important work it was not enough to invest and make moves that would secure her for life. Now she's braiding hair to make money.
She made her career off of blackness and now she’s making money from black culture. Scary
I grew up mostly overseas in Korea and Japan (I was a military kid), I always loved Asian culture and had Asian friends, my dad told me when I was 3 I spoke Korean. In my teen years in Japan I never went out and changed my identity to Asian woman.
Preach, im african and proud never will I conflate my interest in asain and some non somali culture as me transforming into Nigerian, AA, Indian, korean, white or Japan. Cultural appreciation not appropriation its ok to love the people of the world without being an insensitive theif
You never went All In with a hardcore Asian name from the old Asia , step it up lol
I don’t think that woulda worked anyway.
@@Sidewinder528 Exactly
That's you. You may have never been a woman that wanted to be a man before
as well, but it still doesn't stop people from wanting to be other things. The decisions you've made doesn't make you better than any other, so who in the hell really cares about what you've never done. The world doesn't revolve around you and never will.
#stayalert👁️
I mean honestly, people need to let this go, this woman has paid her pound of flesh, how long do we keep badgering her, she has the right heart, and she deserves forgiveness, the measure you use to keep judging this woman and ridiculing her, will be used on you....I don't know if she knows God, but she needs to call on him, and he will restore you Rachel....
👏👏👏
Why can someone identify themselves as trans but she can’t identify being black?
The reason is that we are teaching people to be outraged victims. Cancel culture makes you a good person, don't ya know? Seriously though, this new way of thinking is the problem. Humanity needs a reality check.
I guess she knows how to appreciate her white privilege side as well....Rachel Dolezal sued Howard University in 2002 for discrimination based on race. Documents stated she claimed the University favored African-American students over her. She is white when it suits her.
Now she was fired as a teacher because of her Only Fans account.🤭
Its time to forgive. At this point, I don't care. We have bigger fish to fry!
Exactly.
Yup
Most of us are not even mad. I am just entertained by seeing her struggle with her delusion.
Yeah, I agree.
I would like to see Rachel be able to have a good life and raise her kids. Everyone deserves to be able to work and earn a living.
She’s got a degree why doesn’t she start her own business get them spa loans and grants?.🧐
Having a Degree is no equivalent to be entrepreneur, as a matter of facts most of the most important business where founded by people that didn't finish school. Education systems prepare people to work for others rather than make your own. So you theory of how easy you will solve someone else live is not so accurate, but thanks for sharing.
She’s not doing herself any favors with that hairstyle😂
Braids are not exclusive to blacks. Vikings had braided hair. The Dutch had braids.
Personally, I really do think she is a quintessentially decent person at heart who just wants a second chance to live her best life and to raise her children in contemporary society no different from anyone one else. As a black man, I do think she should be given that chance. Kudos to her 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I agree.
@@lisalewis4138 thank you
Of course you do. Do you also choose to date whites women over women of color? I wouldn’t be surprised. Giving bucking down colorist tease
@@viviangreene5869 I honestly really don’t know how to respond. Trying to find a link with relevance to the case in question. Please help!
I think shes a sociopath and shes just manipulating ppl like you who fall for her lies and deceit
She doesn’t want to be white. I understand.
I can't with you. 😅😆😅
@Ooh big tech will cancel u if u say that. Veto230 Noooo Nice try though! Your false equivalency logic is deeply flawed and honestly it shows a deep level of willful ignorance. A person is not inherently problematic if you are "white" but if you can't understand or are unwilling to admit that our country, institutions and culture were and are built on the fallacy of the supremacy, pervasiveness and centering of "whiteness" you are ignorant of history and don't want things to change. I get it, it's ugly uncomfortable business to face our racialized legacy in this country, and honestly if I were white and never really had to think about these things because they don't directly impact me or anyone I care about, I'd feel bothered by it too. At most, I'd only probably be able to acknowledge there are a few "racist bad apples" somewhere out there and that it has nothing to do with me, rather than recognizing it as being a systemic issue that EVERYONE is involved in perpetuating. Unfortunately, as long as folx such as yourself keep loudly and wrongly proclaiming there is nothing to see, not only will things not change in the direction of the aspirational "post racial" utopia, it will most certainly be this country's downfall.
@Ooh big tech will cancel u if u say that. Veto230 yeah white privilege is already proved to be bullshit. not with this comment tho. your response to this comment is just pure idiocy. atleast try harder. your making people who don't believe in white privilege look bad.
@@sandrallewellyn2632 and you, Sandra are assuming based on a large portion of YOUR comment that he's white. why would you assume that? you're doing the same thing he just did.
Yeah it probably gets old getting accused of being racist on a regular basis, because of the color of your skin, and not being able to comment on racial topics due to the color of your skin. Its almost as if being white doesn't have any benefits 🤔
Sad thing is some blacks that's bash her haven't done half of the things she did for the black race. Wish some of our people were that proud of blackness as she is.
Rachel, glad you're still bedded down and according to you, embraced by your choice of a Black family. We only ask that you provide a caveat if you wish to return with/without your three (3) biracial children to this conservative community.
She is a single mom of black kids.... Seems like a black woman to me
I see it like this. You can enjoy other cultures but you don't have to decieve others. Be yourself.
Do you feel that way about transgenders?
@@Awillii is it okay for a black bald women to wear a red blonde brown straight haired wig racist if u think that its ok for a black women to do it and not a white ur racist its just hair get over it the white girls still wrong tho cause she did lie to people and claim shes black but stlll its just hair bro u can get braids if u want
@@jaconjacm7612 what are you responding to me? I asked the commenter a question
Well hopefully if I “identify” as a billionaire it will eventually happen 🤷♂️

Oh, the irony. 🙄 Right message, wrong messenger.
ARGH 🤦🏽♀️
So if I'm a transgendered female, who am I? Male? Female? What makes being transracial off-limits?
@@monicaluebke5393 if you’re a transgendered female then you just answered your own question,being transphobic won’t negate the stupidity of your question. Also you can easily google why the two don’t correlate.

@@monicaluebke5393 also there are cultural implication with race,there aren’t any with gender. This is the simplest most basic reason why the two aren’t interchangeable.
@@roisinculler775 There are no cultural implications with gender? Really?
Why is this seen as "crazy" but transexuals must be respected?!🙄
It’s not okay to identity as “black” but it’s okay to identify as the opposite “sex”. Things to make you go hmmmm.
But can we move on and let her get a job?
I wish you the best sis
@Ghost Hawkes Like who?
Who is stopping her from getting on with her life. It seems to me like she is the one putting herself in the public sphere, and making ridiculous trans racial claims 🤷🏽♀️
She can’t get work because they don’t trust her and don’t want to be associated with her. Not punishment it’s a consequence.
I’d hire her and I’m a super white conservative, she’s intelligent and as far as she says, she’s willing to work to support her kids. Prove it! Come on over and hustle with us!
Culture appropriation doing stereotype hairstyles
Is it okay for a man to dress as a woman?
@@ScoobyandShaggy5554 that's different then pretending too be a whole different race that's not yours too begin with.
@@qtpye115 lol it’s the same, according to your logic if she feels she was born black why not let her, you’re a discriminatory bigot!
@@ScoobyandShaggy5554 she never said she felt she was born black dude! 🤦🏾♂️
@@qtpye115 actually it's not...and this proves that black people only see discrimination as an act against them, instead of one they can perpetrate upon others. And only move to defend racism when it comes up against transphobia. Pick and not shift the goalpost. The argument brought by transgendered is that their plight is equivalent to racism. Here, you made the argument for trans people that prioritizes their plight above racism by essentially stating that reassignment of gender is more humane, less debased than reclassifying your race.
So... I just want her to post a hair tutorial. I would like to see how she gets her hair to coil like that. 😏🤔
I feel like she would do well with a TH-cam channel but her children would be traumatized..
Girl PLEASE...write another book, write a play, become an actress...you CERTAINLY know how to do that. You STILL doing better than many a real Sister who has even more education than yourself.

Ahhahaha
Myy mother is quarter Jamaican my Gramps father was a Jamaican immigrant. Never told anyone

People were also upset because she was faking hate crimes against herself. She also got a black man to play her father. It wasn't just her identifying as a black woman. The issue is more of a lack of integrity.
I understand THAT
Damn I didn’t know that 😳
THANK YOU! Also how she lied to become president of the NAACP in her state. What she did is not ok!
Why isn't anyone calling her mentally unstable? That's literally insane
Because she knew she would not be excepted her
She seems genuinely connected to African culture and her work reflects it. I just wish she realised that she can love that culture, do good work for the community, raise black children while still being a white woman. I hope one day she realises that it’s OK to be white because that part of her won’t change no matter what.
People are identifying as women when they're literally, basically, naturally and biologically male and they're not being punished but this woman is being bashed for racially identifying as black when she's white. Okay so it's bad to change a race but it's alright to change a gender?...
I believe she felt torn by the love for her black children and the black community constantly demonizing “whitey” so it was easier to just play along. White women who have black kids get treated like trash.
So people can ''feel'' like the opposite sex they were born and we have to accept that..but people can't feel a different race? Why?
She compelled to change her race because the culture tries to vilifies being of white heritage. Likewise, I think many men attempt to change their sex because culture tries to vilify being male; however, this is something you can never change. Once you are born with male genes, you can never change them into female genes.
But yet white people are not allowed to say it's ok to be white.
She’s sitting here with box braids, a big map of africa, and saying, “Racially, I’ve always identified as human” 😂😂 this shit never gets old
That's fucking funny :D
Right?!? She still doesn’t get it, she’s wild
And yet you're on your cover photo

Well Rachel Dolezal is black cause race is a social construct anyone can be black or white or whatever.
@temet nosce
Millions of unfortunate people benefited
from the so called “Con artist" no harm was
done, she didn't go to prison for it, I and I'm
sure you can, think of a lot of individuals who's done worse. I wish there were more
“Con artist's" like her. Her art makes serious change. What kind of serious changes to
society have you made? If the world were
to judge you from the wild things you've done, what would they say about you.
You may not deny your identity, but you've
done some pretty messed up things
yourself. #stayalert👁️
What kind of change ha
I’m really glad she’s so into black cultures, as a black person it’s somewhat flattering. But on the other hand, she needs to realize it’s OKAY the be a white person with an interest in black culture. You can do all the hair stuff, learn a language, the history, get the decorations… but it’s okay to say you’re white.
@BRYAN WARNER ok? don’t listen to them
Question:
Ppl can identify any gender.
Ppl cannot identify any ethnicity.
Did I get it right?
@@mongrelmachines lol apparently.. Don't try to make sense of the left bull$h!t. It will never add up.
This is something that is starting to happen now. There is a non-binary white person that transitioned to a Korean. They are now being attacked by the woke leftist. If the LGBTQA+ community wants rights for these letters, then Transrace must be added. Or they truly are a hypocrite. Interesting to see if more people will come out, because of these two individuals.
@BRYAN WARNER not true? white people can wear a black hairstyle if they want, but when their scalp gets inflamed and their hair falls out it's not so fun. the "left media" is just trying to prevent dumbasses from stealing culture that isn't FOR white people, and saving a few scalps in the process :/
"You can't change who you are", says the woman who LITERALLY changed who she is 🤔
Exactly. She's Very Conflicted, I feel Very Sorry for her 😢 almost borders on insanity..but Lack of integrity is a problem also, I dont blame people for being Mad 😢
She didn't change, she's always been this way. Man looks at the outside but God knows the heart. She said when she was little she would draw herself with a brown crayon. Like Teena Marie, it was just in her. Contrary to the way she looked, she's had a connection with Black culture for as long as she could remember. So she did on the outside what reflected the way she felt on the inside. She's culturally more aware than most Black people about our culture and has made me fall in love with who we are all over again. I think she's awesome😊
@@Clairsmith123I think she thinks she’s always felt black and that’s who she “is” she doesn’t think she’s changed she actually think she’s always felt black 😮😂idk

Because you can't.
@eshe very true and its annoying. Just cause you have somewhat black in you dont make you black
Not all “Asians” are EAST Asian. I am part Kazakh (Central Asia) and look quite “Asian”. To me, using the term “Asian” is inaccurate because Asian people can have many looks. There are Jews, Arabs, Indians, Persians , Kurds , etc. that don’t fit the Asian phenotype. The people of Central Asia can look as “Asian” as they do in East Asia. The term”Oriental” is outdated. Using the term “Mongoloid” is more accurate.
@eshe True, it’s pathetic actually. Why do we do that? Is it hard for black people to accept those who have black ancestry without always trying to paint them as COMPLETELY black people? The fact that it’s THIS easy to pass as a black person is truly embarrassing 🤦🏾♀️
Look at Oli London
Changing her name to a Nigerian name was truly the cherry on top of her foolishness.
her poor kids feel embarrassed by her & some of her remarks. ✌
My favorite part of that is she changed her name in part so people wouldn’t know she was “Rachel Dolezal” but everyone knows now because she keeps putting herself out there wanting attention...lmao

True
Seriously, being fascinated by a certain culture and wanting to be part of it is not wrong at all. But hating yourself or the culture you were born into mostly points to some deeper psychological problems.
She is living her truth. That is feminism. Feminism is a much deeper psychological problem.
Her parents abused her. Hating her culture was her childhood survival tool; and frankly, colonialism arguably brought that kind of abuse here . She just needs to bring in her adult self to admit that she's not Black.
@@dreacdreac have you source for that? In my experience abused children especially girls tend to identify with the agressor. Many mixed children of white mothers and absent brown or black fathers start hating their mothers identity because in their eyes it is weak.

I feel that she didn’t need to do this she could still be a civil rights activist as a white women many white people have joined black civil rights and didn’t need to change themselves.
But if you are white in civil rights, they tend to get shunned by their own massive community. A lot of whites view white civil-rights activists as race-traitors as crazy as that sounds
I agree. I have never been made to feel unwelcome by my friends as an ally to their cause and if any of my white friends had a problem with it I'd be surprised since most of them were right there with us.

This is pure insanity to me. being a mixed race person who is on the lighter side I'm truly irritated by her claims. Growing up in Colorado most (white) people wouldn't even believe I was mixed whenever I would mention it, and now to hear a 100% white woman claim she is transracial and double down on her nonsense is just....

So she can’t claim to be black bc her skin is white! Makes absolutely no sense! She may not have black skin but she might have a black ancestor somewhere down the line. We don’t know that.

Even her own parents called her out as being a compulsive liar.
The same parents that allowed her to lie to us for decades,When they had a disagreement with her that’s when Her parents decided to out her lie.They’re liars too.
didn't they call her out because she was going to testify against her father raping her adopted black sibling?
@@lachlanstanding7386 if that's true that's fucking horrible. I'm glad someone has said something about how horrible her parents were. I feel like I'm the only one.

As they would have to have known that this would affect their grandchildrens lives. I'm sure they are getting ridiculed in school, their anonymity is gone, and they are probably not getting what they may need or want because their single mother is struggling financially because no one will give her a job.
