WA - Civil rights activist Rachel Dolezal pretending to be black, parents say #1

[Hope4More]

Spokane City Council votes (6-0) RD off the police commission. Better yet, she won't be able to claim discrimination this time, black or white .

 

[wenwe4]

Breaking news in Spokane! As of 4:50 pm pst today the commissioners have all voted RD be removed for her post as a Police Ombudsman. The commissioners have accepted a resignation fom 1 other and have allowed more time for the 3rd person they were asking to step down or respond within 24 hrs

RD did not respond to their request within 24hours -

I can't seem to get Tricia's show to play on my iPad - hoping those listening can give updates!

Why am I not surprised. She will soon star in her own reality show. :facepalm:

I think this would depend on whether or not she retains custody of her biological son. I can see a show happening if she loses custody, but how much more can she mortify her own child? I hope if she retains custody she goes away quietly. It would be in her son's best interest for her to stop the freak show.

 

[wenwe4]

Wonder if RD is thinking about flying out to SC? I think she should have 2nd thoughts since people will probably recognize her. All colors of people who don't want her speaking for them.

I truly hope she doesn't try to insert her "special" self into this horrible tragedy!

Honestly, I think the boys who have to endure her lies daily are the ones she has hurt the most. Their self identity has had to be challenged over this whole fiasco at least at some point.

Reality shows are all about drama and she certainly knows how to create it. They should add her to the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta to really shake it up there.

More likely I think she'll show up somewhere else with a new look and a new race but the same old bs story.

Oh, I agree. Though I don't think she'll ever recognize it. She'll make herself the victim and not acknowledge the harm she has done to her son and adopted son/sibling. It'll be I did it for you, blah, blah, blah......... and she'll expect them to make amends to her on her terms for even suggesting she did anything wrong. She's one sad case.

Isn't that the truth.

Apparently, we from afar can see how this could really hurt her son, but apparently that isn't her primary concern right now. Or so it appears.

JMO.

If you read the article at the second link, not even the article's author is sure THE PAINTED BIRD was plagiarized. That Kozinski lied about his childhood seems certain. But broadly calling Kozinski a "plagiarist" is to repeat claims the essayist can't confirm.

What's interesting to me about the article is that the autobiographical lie is considered a worse sin than any claim of artistic theft. Perhaps that's because the autobiographical lie is what can be categorically proven.

Or perhaps it says something about the Dolezal case: stealing is bad, but inauthenticity is a greater sin.

Kosinki plagiarized. Research Being There, by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz (that famous movie with Peter Sellers attributed to Kosinki). Kosinki presumably believed that the communist wall would never fall, and that he could steal from the East and sell to the West.

Rachel steals from the blacks and sells to the whites ... I'm anticipating that fools will chase the books, talk show circuit, and movies about a crazy woman named Rachel. If black skin was a social issue, we would see something about Obama and Snoop Dogg that is the same. For some reason, I'm not seeing it. They are two men of the black race that have nothing in common - so social or cultural connections.

Rachel was honored earlier this year by the local Catalyst Magazine as one of Spokane's female business leaders.

Nothing comes easy for Rebecca.

The birth of my youngest son is memorialized in 94 hours of labor, and I am proud of his creativity and imagination as well as his perseverance through some tough years of bullying at school.

She was in labour for four day! My, my ... what a little trooper. Is there a doctor in the land who would stand by and let that happen? I don't think so.

At least she didn't claim she was in labor for four days with her older "son" (considering he is her adopted brother).

 

[meanmaryjean]

Oh gag!

 

[katydid23]

I am soooooooo sick of hearing her publicly discussing her son be bullied! Is that HELPFUL for him? Is it even true? Or is she exaggerating/lying/creating more drama?

"She’s forgotten... the art of the apology,” Feldman emphasized. “And that could be two things. One, she doesn’t feel she owes people an apology. And two, she just doesn’t know how to do it.... “I really think that she’s such a Narcissus that she’s going to continue to talk,” .... “And we’re going to continue to find out more damaging or bizarre things that are not going to be something she can recover from. She likes the celebrity right now.”
“She is a liar,” ...."And that’s the biggest problem. It continues. And when people are pathological liars, what happens? You dig a hole. And you have to tell another lie, and another lie and soon you are a crisis and a scandal.”

Just saying...who really cares about any of this? WHO CARES?

Ask yourself why it is that as a nation we have to swarm in on someone who makes a mistake and just POUND them into the ground.

She lied.

She lost her job.

She's been publicly humiliated.

Her own parents went on national tv and called her out even though from all reports their own household is a den of chaos and anger.

Don't you all have anything better to do than to virtually STONE this woman? Let her identify with who ever she wants.

Spend your energy feeding kids who go hungry all summer long.
Spend your energy visiting some old people who don't get any visitors.

Spend your energy doing ANYTHING ELSE but absolutely slaying someone on the public guillotine of opinion.

As a nation we can do better. As a people we can do better.

Sorry. I think denouncing one's parents, convincing one's brother that he was abused, terrifying one's young son and entire community with repeated, false hate crime allegations, harassing people at one's job, lying on official government documents, overstepping one's authority under the auspices of government, suing a University for discrimination that never happened, making false allegations of child abuse and domestic violence against one's ex to keep him from custody of his kid, to be more than a "mistake".

And I can get all riled up about a dangerous fraud like that and still take care of my family, work, volunteer at Legal Aid and my church and get involved in various kinds of political activism by organizing, campaigning and marching. (Of course not all at the exact same time!)
