I actually think they did the right thing.
This woman is a disgrace and if I was running an organisation or event I wouldnt want her involved.
Im not condoning exclusion based on melanin levels, im condoning exclusion based on being a lying deluded P.O.S

Do you think she would have been hired if she was honest with the NAACP?

Hold up... Trans-racial?
I almost went right by it without thinking about it.
People are losing their damn minds.
She should be ashamed of herself.
If she is a she.
Who knows what the hell she might be or claim to be at this point.
Basically the lie she told makes it impossible to have an honest discussion about racial issues in the country. You can't write this stuff.

Dolezal's parents, adopted brother speak out Dolezal's estranged parents have spoken to the media about her supposed misrepresentation. "We are her birth parents," her father, Lawrence Dolezal, said Friday. "We do not understand why she feels it's necessary to misrepresent her ethnicity."
CNN contacted Dolezal last week, and she declined an interview. She said she stands by her record of service.
Her adopted brother, Ezra Dolezal, said she took him aside three years ago and asked him "not to blow her cover" about her alternate identity. "She said she was starting a new life ... and this one person over there was actually going to be her black father," he said.

Because being transsexual, i.e. having gender dysphoria, is a diagnosable medical condition as recognized by all major health organizations throughout the world.
As much as one would like conflate the two, being "trans-racial" is a personality disorder. If you don't understand the difference, educate yourselves.

Lol yes that makes sense. Why exactly do you think somebody could have gender dysphoria but not race dysphoria?
When was gender dysphoria recognized by health organizations? Recently Im guessing?
What makes you think racial dysphoria wont be recognized by health organizations 10 years from now?
I think you are just a little old fashioned and maybe a bit hateful. Now what is it they call folks like that? Let me see... =p

I'm am absolutely convinced she is trolling people to this day. I do not legitimately believe that someone can claim with a straight face to be a different skin colour than what their own eyes show them. Your beliefs are at odds with facts.
But on point, if she was excluded because she was white, then that's bad. Racist in fact. But if she was excluded because of her actions then I have no problem with it.

What does skin color have to do with race?
