And she still says she’s not white. . . . “I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white . . . Calling myself black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.” . . . “I feel that I was born with the essential essence of who I am, whether it matches my anatomy and complexion or not,” Dolezal said. “I’ve never questioned being a girl or a woman, for example, but whiteness has always felt foreign to me, for as long as I can remember. I didn’t choose to feel this way or be this way, I just am.
“What other choice is there than to be exactly who we are?”
In other words, Ms. Dolezal's philosophy equates to: "I reject your reality, and substitute my own."
Back in less "enlightened" days folks suffering from delusions were treated for mental illness. Today we turn them into celebrities (or high ranking officials in social justice organizations).

Rachel Dolezal, white woman who identifies as black, now jobless, may soon be homeless
Rachel Dolezal, the infamous white woman who for years passed herself off as African American and rose to become head of an NAACP branch, is now jobless, on food stamps and expects to soon be homeless.
A defiant Dolezal, 39, recounted her current plight to The Guardian. Dolezal said she’s only been offered jobs in reality television and porno flicks. A friend helped her come up with the money for February’s rent and she doesn’t know how she’s going to pay for March.
And she still says she’s not white.
“I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white . . . Calling myself black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.”
Dolezal was exposed in June 2015 when a local television crew asked her the simple question: “Are you African American?”
Pictures of a younger, white-skinned and blonde-haired Dolezal soon surfaced and her story exploded. The formerly successful leader of the Spokane NAACP chapter and a university professor, Dolezal – who once sued historically-black Howard University for racial discrimination, because she was white – now says she’s been turned down for 100 jobs and her memoir was rejected by 30 publishers before finding a taker.
She’s also apparently begun ruffling feathers in the transgender community by claiming that race, like gender, is fluid.
“It’s more so,” Dolezal told The Guardian. “Because it wasn’t even biological to begin with. It was always a social construct.”
Dolezal said she’s never considered identifying as white again.
“I feel that I was born with the essential essence of who I am, whether it matches my anatomy and complexion or not,” Dolezal said. “I’ve never questioned being a girl or a woman, for example, but whiteness has always felt foreign to me, for as long as I can remember. I didn’t choose to feel this way or be this way, I just am.

I'VE BEEN CLAIMING THAT FOR YEARS!
....nobody seems to take me serious......
...but after a lifetime of reflection, I have concluded there are just two groups that matter.
Those who are good looking,
and those who ain't.
I do believe more'n a few of you guys are entitled to reparations.
Unfortunately I myself do not qualify

Man...she is really taking that identification thing seriously!
You guys beat me to it this morning. Jobless, on food stamps, and the only job offer she has is sex. Isn't that a racial stereotype? She's not applying her skill as an Electrical Engineer in the aerospace industry? Oh, wait, probably short on the education front too. I hate when that happens. Tell you what, to show solidarity, I'll walk off the job today between 12-1 in support of RacheL That will show the World we won't stand for injustice and I will feel better because I did "something".

She should use her "Trans-Reality" to make herself "Trans-Employed" or a "Trans-Billionaire" or Hell, go for it all as "Trans-Ruler-of-the Universe".

Self identifying gender = good. We need to accept them.
Along those lines:
"I render support to "Trans-Rachel" (as she is now called) for two reasons:
1.) She threatens the legitimacy and recognition that society has bestowed upon transgendered freaks--their backlash has proven they have a lot to lose at these comparisons, and they know there is no real consistent answer as to why Dolezal can't be black but they can be women;
2.) She threatens to unleash the floodgate of "transracial" applicants onto affirmative action, diversity initiatives, Title IX protections, but most of all, black privilege, hopefully delivering the fatal blow to the monopoly they hold on the grievance racket.
For those two reasons, I am fully behind her, because the more momentum she gains, the faster this entire identity politics sch!tt-show can finally be brought to an end. The left was completely caught off-guard on Dolezal, and that means they are on shakey ground.
Let's hope her new book (already on both the Amazon and NYT best seller's list for pre-orders) causes an earthquake, and all these tranny freaks--including eventually, Dolezal herself--are swallowed into the belly of the earth."

So, being a lying poser ain't a good long-term career choice? Whodathunkit?
She's already on the road that's waiting after graduation for the fragile, snowflake, Whatever Studies graduates now huddled in their safe spaces on our campuses, along with the massive student loan debt they've adquired in the process. According to a Breitbart article, half of them think they won't have to pay those debts.

I disagree with you guys... we should have mercy on this woman and her feelings...
since she identifies with Black, I would make a contribution to purchase her a one way ticket to Africa...
there she can be around a whole bunch of blacks, and get that "full" African experience....
Have you actually been to Africa?
She's have no problems in Ghana, they would think she's nuts is all.

I think there's something seriously wrong with a society that tolerates the kind of insanity and outright stupidity this woman has barfed all over us...not to mention the fraud and dishonesty. Sadly, hers is only one of many cases of the same illness.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

Agreed, and why in hell are criminals eligible for food stamps any damn way?
Sounds like she has pretty much painted herself in the proverbial corner now. She refuses to accept she is white racially through and through and now that blacks know she has never lived the 'black experience' they don't have any respect or use for her anymore either.
