NAACP releases statement standing by Rachel Dolezal (#Transracial)
KHQ ^ | 6-12-2015 | KHQ

Posted on 06/12/2015 9:52:26 AM PDT by tcrlaf

A day after the parents of Rachel Dolezal, the President of the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP, said she has been misrepresenting herself as black for years, the NAACP says they are standing by Dolezal.

In a statement released Friday, the organization said:

"For 106 years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds. NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal's advocacy record. In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational, and economic justice for all people, and we encourage Americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization.

Hate language sent through mail and social media along with credible threats continue to be a serious issue for our units in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. We take all threats seriously and encourage the FBI and the Department of Justice to fully investigate each occurrence."

The NAACP punted.... They know that if they fire her, or demand that she resign, they can, and will, be sued for Discrimination based on race. It's very Karmic.

What's hilarious is watching all of the "Usual Suspects" and pro Race-Baiters on Twitter trying to downplay or wish away the importance of this whole affair.

If Bruce Jenner can put on dress and call himself a woman, and you aren't allowed to criticize it, why can't this woman put on a weave and call herself Black??

There is GOOD MONEY in being a professional victim for a living. Just ask Sharpton or Dray McKesson about this.

It's even spawned a new term, "TransRacial"

Since they stand by all colors, time to flood the ranks and leadership.

Seems discriminatory if you look at the numbers.

Rachel D'lezal is entitled to her own identity. As her adopted twin sister, Rachel Jeantel, would say about anyone who disagrees:
