When you can find me one of its founders who was a white woman who told everybody she was black, let me know. There is no way they could have believed this woman was black.
There undoubtedly been many more instances of Blacks passing as White, but why should we get excited about it?

We shouldn't be getting excited about most of the stuff we get excited about, but that does not change that I am skeptical that she was able to pass herself off as black to blacks.
She has tried mightily to get that victim-hood thing down too, so she can be "Down wif da struggle" ... She has not mastered the technique apparently ... but she knows the drill !!!
funny, race is not supposed to be an issue, but she is under investigation for portraying herself as black, never heard of someone pulling this off as well as she has... not many white people can say they have walked in the shoes of a black person.... and those that do.... I guess can be prosecuted for it? - - - Updated - - - maybe that is also what happens to most black people when they report such hate crimes.. who knows
have to agree, can't say any other white person knows their plight better then her, she has walked in their shoes... is that really a crime
Her mother summed it up concisely: "Dolezal's mother told the Seattle Times that Rachel began to "disguise herself" about nine years ago, when she would have been in her late 20s, after the family adopted several black children. "It's very sad that Rachel has not just been herself," Ruthanne Dolezal told the paper. "Her effectiveness in the causes of the African-American community would have been so much more viable, and she would have been more effective, if she had just been honest with everybody." Of course, her race does not prevent her from serving in NAACP leadership.
Being black I couldn't possibly care any less about this aside from feeling sorry for the woman who obviously has some very personal identity issues. I see nothing racial about it at all but rather as supremely personal, familial and sad.
is it racism to discriminate against some you thought was black that was really white, interesting question, I think the answer is yes, the racism still existed either way .
You've used the phrase "angry white guys" several times in this thread alone, and falsely. I'm not too sure you can say anything about anyone else being obsessed without being 110% hypocritical.
had she not stayed in the closet, do you think people would of treated her differently some often want homosexuals to "lie" and pretend to be heterosexuals in public .
