(31,631 posts)Rachel Dolezal did not grow up with a black parent. Her grandparents weren't. Her great grandparents weren't.
She was a blonde haired light eyed little girl in American in the 1970's and 1980's with TWO white parents and with that. . .
She can't speak to the experiences of growing up black in the Reagan Era in the United States of Amerikkka. That man -he hated us. Just hated us.
Talk all you want as a white person about us Rach - do what you want.
But that doesn't mean any black or black with a white BIOLOGICAL parent American has to take her seriously.
We don't have to because we know better than her. *nose stuck up in the air* <-- Not at you - at her. She ought to be ashamed of herself for insulting all of the women who gave birth or adopted children that looked nothing like them and raised them to be happy whole adults without pretending to be black, Asian, Asian Indian, Central American, etc. etc.
If anything - she's making the argument to me that perhaps when two white people pro-create - well - their children are going to have problems. I mean - it's okay but they shouldn't have children because its too hard on the children
^That's something I heard growing up quite a bit in the 1970's and 1980's in Amerikka. It's funny - one girl J.M. - her parents taught her that - she's a total loser now and I'm not.^ She has no excuses as she started out in the same town as me, with the same education - she just chose to not be exceptional. Maybe it was her upbringing?
You can check out the AA Group - yesterday she pretty much said a non black person can't really be the mother to a black child - it wouldn't work. Bull shit. I call bullshit. And she's already fucked her brothers up for life with that bullshit. She's going to turn them into bigots against white people. You just wait.
