Quote:As I've said before, if she wants to live her life as a black woman, that's fine by me. Where I draw the line is lying about race and background to advance oneself socially and professionally. The NAACP can make all the noise it wants to about how there are no race restrictions on leadership positions; the simple fact of the matter is that if she had identified herself as white from the start, there's no way she would have attained the position she did within that organization, and a far lesser chance that she would have been hired as a professor of African studies.

Well, I agree with you on the point that lying about her race, especially on an application for a job, is wrong.  In fact, it's borderline fraud.  But, if the luminaries in the liberal world are saying it's okay and that if she thinks she's black, then she's black, that's a problem. 

 

Suppose a white police officer shoots and kills a black guy who just committed strong arm robbery at a convenience store.  The suspect was unarmed, but he was a large, intimidating guy who physically threatened the store owner in order to steal a box of, say, cigars.  He's approached by a white police officer as he's walking down the middle of the street, and in reaction to being stopped by this white officer, he eventually turns and charges the cop, at which point the police officer shoots and kills the suspect.   In the aftermath, the police officer, who is white, declares that in his mind, he's black.  So, this is now a black cop shooting a black suspect.  Would riots happen?

 

My point here is that by embracing a Russian/Czeck with blond hair and blue eyes as a black woman because she identifies herself as such, these liberals who are only doing so because she agrees with them politically are destroying the race card.  If Caitlyn Jenner declared himself a black woman, imagine the response from the same people.
