They should just adopt her.

That would be the inclusive thing to do, but it's unlikely after this embarrassment. Her resignation was inescapable and the NAACP now has some serious PR work to do. And despite her good intentions, she did commit fraud trying to get her way. If the NAACP does adopt her, at least run her through political detox first.

So, let me get this straight?

The leadership of the NAACP has to be "black"? He/She can't be white?

That sounds kind of discriminatory - dare I say racist - to me!

I understand perfectly where she's coming from.  Personally, I identify as rich.

Hey, "Kaisha", it's not working for me either.

Just out of curiosity, why exactly are whites making such a big deal out of this? Blacks learned long ago to accept as members of the "group" people who had a large variation in color.

Absolutely!!! They should have embraced her and all her peculiarities instead of exposing their true racist roots.
Now the rest of the world knows what the rest of us have known all along, that it's never been about advancing the black family, rather, a thinly veiled shake down whitey racket.

Since the 1960's this outfit has been nothing but an arm of the democrat party. In my view they have become irrelevant.

She says she's transracial - what's next?  Trans-species?  I've always wanted to be a mermaid since I was a kid, so I could marry Flipper. 

 

She identifies quite well as an idiot.

Perhaps this is because, in a society such as ours. Which is allegedly one where everyone is equal under the law, regardless of their race/skin color. Groups like the NAACP, that are purely motivated by racial politics, shouldn't exist?

The fact was, she delayed their Monday meeting trying to prevent the same groundswell against her which forced her out. She must have known precisely how much acceptance she'd get after that sort of uproar.

Freedom of assembly is as guaranteed as free speech associated to such assembly. As with any and all free speech, we are also free to not listen or take the speaker seriously --- particularly on self-inflicted wounds like hers.

The NAACP was founded in the Jim Crow period, so to expect them not to be interested in racial politics is asinine.

Absolutely true.

But the groundswell is white media generated. It's not blacks making this an issue, forcing some type of action to be taken. I wonder what the reaction would have been if she simply said she had an ancestor who had "passed" and her parents "outed" her as white to ended any speculation in that direction. In any case, I'm fascinated by the unspoken white belief that anyone who would claim to be black, if they weren't, must be "crazy". Is this an admission, on their part, that things might not have gotten as good for blacks as they always claimed they have?

Well, for starters, read my posts thus far on this. I never called her crazy. You did lose me in the tight curve there over an admission to something not yet in evidence or stated aloud.

Moreover, any failure to achieve economic equality can not be laid off on those trying to help, but on the inadequacies of those being helped. White, Asian, green-with-spots, it DOES NOT MATTER if you are bad at business. Mistakes get made and businesses founder. Melanin doesn't matter here: hustle and some talent and rotsa-rotsa luck DO figure in...but that's not racial.

If anybody admits things haven't gone so good for blacks, why not start there and see how it fits? How well are black merchants doing, say compared to Islamic scumbags running any type of convenience store? Both get robbed equally. They are both targets, usually by their own race.

Who gets the blame? The cops for showing up at all, or cops who are black, trying to keep order in their own black neighborhoods?

That's not racial either, but don't tell that to the banger with the neck-tats, who can't empty his pockets fast-enough when a routine patrol goes through his part of the same hood where "responsible" black leaders failed to get him out, to begin with.

She is running out of nationalities.


I sure learned something about blacks in the Obama years.
They hate our friggin guts and want to destroy all good things that made America great.
It's not getting any better until they look at the problem and not someone to blame.
It used to be with me when I saw a Black (no big deal), now when I see a black I wonder who he is going to rob or kill.
The Blacks think they won the war on our police officers and our laws, think again.
