Quote:All good points. I have not read up on this and didn't realize she's being accused of some of the things you mentioned. I thought it was a white lady who preferred to be living her life as a black female. It appear for now that the NAACP is supporting her. Supposed to issue a statement tomorrow.

Yeah, as I understand it, this whole thing came to light because she planted another fake piece of hate mail in her mailbox at work and reported it, the police came out and said that it had never actually been mailed because there were no postal markings on it, and her parents finally decided that enough was enough and sent out high school photos of a very white Rachel Dolezal. She wasn't just living her life as a member of another race, which I suppose I have no real issues with. She was lying through her teeth about who she was, where she'd come from, what her life story was, how society was treating her, etc., and she was doing it for personal and financial gain. That I have a serious problem with.

 

Quote:Since when has that been frowned upon in our society?

I'm not sure I get the question. Are you saying that society considers it ok to fabricate hate crimes against yourself and use them for personal gain? I'd love to see some examples if so.
