The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, Dolezal is hitting the talk-show circuit and continuing her charade. It's my opinion that it's a charade anyway. She's defiant and unapologetic; like a strong angry black woman and all.

She appeared on TODAY and went with the very predictable excuses about some of her lies.

- She said she's raising her adopted black brother as her son and that he views her as his real mom. So, she said, she wasn't lying about him being her son.

- She said the man she claimed as her black father is someone with whom she's very close and that she sees him like a Dad. So, she said, she wasn't lying about him being her father.

- When asked about her changed appearance, she didn't respond to a question about her curls, but said, "I certainly don't stay out of the sun".

- She said she has identified black since she was five and used brown colors when drawing herself. When shown a photo of herself as a happy-looking blonde teen, she said she wasn't identifying as black during her teen years.

Dolezal filed suit against Howard University when she was a student there. She accused the university of discriminating against her for being white when they passed over her for a teaching assistant position and another post. Apparently, she's black when it suits her and she's white when it suits her. Too bad actual black people don't have that option.

One of her art pieces on her webpage is almost an exact replica of another artists' work and she's facing plagiarism accusations.


Dolezal is being investigated for ethics violations for claiming to be black on her police ombudsman application.

As far as I know, she still serves as the police ombudsman and is still teaching black studies.
