Rachel Dolezal, the president of the NAACP in Spokane, WA, announced in a statement Monday morning she is stepping down from her position.

Dolezal had come under fire in the last week amid criticism she lied about her ethnicity. She previously claimed her father was black. Her parents, Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal, said they were of European descent. They also provided a birth certificate from Montana affirming they were her her parents and that they were white.

She will now move into the vicê chairman position at the pertner association- the NAAWP (no, not “white”).

Now is the time to tie this in with Elizabeth Warren. the left does a good nob of attacking our rising stars. This is a good time to raise it on a national level to get more exposure outside MA and conservative circles.

The faux noir in this case can get a goodbook deal and a reality show to au the bills.

Too many lies, even for a group of liberals.
She has leadership skills, and once this quiets down, she may be offered some back room position for fund raising.

Too bad. She was probably threatened big time. Much as I disagree with it (as it now exists) I believe she was 100% sincere in her efforts to help the NAACP cause and they must have liked her as they kept her. I am sure she is very unhappy, out of a good paying job, and probably wishes her parents had never opened their mouths. And she’s likely alienated from them, as well. I feel bad for her, I don’t think she meant to harm anyone.

She qualifies for membership in the NAAWP (National Association for the Advancement of Weird People.) Jenner also qualifies, along with most of Hollywood.

“It is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice and the NAACP that I step down from the presidency and pass the baton to my Vice President Naima Quarles-Burnley,” Dolezal said in her statement.”

If it’s too cynical, did anyone check to make sure her replacement is in fact black? Nowadays it’s difficult to keep track of the players on the left side of the aisle, even with a program!

Someone who FRAUDULENTLY self-identifies as something they are not shouldn’t be a leader at all.

Imagine the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) finding out that one their top people turned out to have been a draft dodger.

There are many “benefits” for blacks. I knew a woman in Los Angeles back in the ‘70s who bought an Afro wig so she could get a job with the school district that paid more to blacks than to whites. Don’t know whether anyone ever called her on it. She was perhaps Italian, had rather dark skin to begin with.
