Whose Defending Rachael Dolezal and Why

Ok. I know you're tired of hearing about this woman, but I promise this is going to be my last post about her. A lot of people have jumped all over themselves to defend this woman. Now I already mentioned those supportive of the #Transracial movement and what their motives are, but here's a flip side that no one has explored. The twist is that it has a lot in common with that movement and here's why:

I said that the transracial movement is about the attempt to redefine what race means, and how it's really about White Supremacy. Look deeply at who is defending her and why. I already addressed what White and non Blacks have invested in Rachael Dolezal, but what about Black people who share the same sentiment? 


The same people who defend her are the same ones who:


  1. Believe that those were Michael Jackson's biological kids.
  2. Gave such a pass to Bill Clinton because he "got head" under the desk of his White House office while he was president.
  3. Let their White and other non Black friends say "Nigga" because they were the ones who gave them permission.
  4. Didn't feel "Black enough" in the first place because other kids called them "sell out", "oreo", etc "because smart equals 'wanna be White'."
  5. Married a light skinned person in hopes their children wouldn't be dark skinned like themselves.
  6. Have a complex about Black women, but have voiced it through various negative behaviors towards them.
  7. The ones who want to be accepted so bad by White people that they use the "black on the inside" argument to appease them.
  8. The ones who secretly believe that White women are fragile and need to be coddled, cared for and protected.
     9. The ones who are afraid of White backlash against them. (job, etc)


Long story short, these people wanted to be accepted by White people so bad that they will compromise all and anything in order to feel better about themselves.  For those who say otherwise really need to GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE! Here's why:

Take a look at any and all anti Black propaganda. They told us our hair is bad. They told us that we are dumb and that education is for White people since it was once illegal for Black people to read or write. As a result, sometimes kids who got gassed up by their parents and other adult relatives, took "being smart" too far to the point where they alienated their peers. The kid might have just been socially awkward,which caused them to feel angry about the experience. This could have caused the kid to resort to sticking their nose in a book and claiming that people don't like them because of their intelligence, when in reality, they were just a cornball ass kid that annoyed the hell out of people.

They told us our complexion is bad and that a lighter tone is better and more approachable if you're born Black (see one drop rule), so darker Black people married lighter Black people in hopes the children weren't as dark. They told us that Black women are loose, hoes who deserve what they get if they look "seductive"via history, rap music, etc, so men cat call and treat women like shit when they get rejected. As a result, many many slurs were invented to portray women and those slurs are littered throughout our music. The mainstream music thrives on Black shaming, denigration, and belittlement while so called lyrical artists remain overlooked. The media enjoys parading Black people who shame their own in order to promote and keep anti Black sentiments.

As a result, this creates insecurity, vulnerability, a low self esteem, and resentment, which leads me to the following observations. 


Now people have been talking about this so much, BUT they've been focusing on the wrong things. They want to compare her with Black women wearing blonde weave, skin bleaching, and straightening their hair. But this argument goes back to how they didn't fabricate entire racial identities to live lives as White people, nor did they fabricate hate crimes.

They want to bring up Black women in interracial relationships. They want to talk about how Black women in said relationships can not be pro Black, while comparing that Black woman to Rachael and her antics while ignoring her husband's role in the whole thing. In fact, he was complicit in the whole thing and is just as guilty as Rachael is. 

But they fail to understand that none of the other women and men in interracial relationships tried to fake an identity to the point of accusing people of rape and hate crimes while wearing Blackface.
Those men and women went through life as their birth race. Not only that:

People have been trained to view White women as weak, fragile and needing to be protected. This is why they cape for her so bad. They echo what they've been taught to believe and they don't even know it.  But I see exactly what they're doing and why...

Like I said before, believing in the legend of White Supremacy will make a person do strange things, including calling this woman "a diamond without all of the blood behind it." <<Yes. Her husband actually said that. 



I'm done.

Don Lemon: Why Don't I Just Cut to the Chase and Tell You to Get The F*ck Outta Here With That Bullisht!!!!



If you haven't heard yet, Don Lemon, a news anchor for CNN decided to "go in" (depending on how you see it) on the problem with Black America. He said the usual stuff regarding sagging jeans, education and crime. He also said that Bill O'Reilly doesn't go far enough when he's talking about the so called crisis in the African American community. Needless to say it caused a lot of backlash and responses, one of which was a letter from Russell Simmons. He had to address Russell Simmons on the whole thing. He says to attack the problem and not the messenger, and then went in on sagging jeans, and how "saggin" spelled backwards spells n!ggas backwards (which has nothing at all to do with anything). He redeemed himself by thanking Russell Simmons for his letter. He also cut to the president speaking on the issue. Sure this video looks like a nice neat package of it's not us it's you and your fault why things are the way they are', but here's what I don't get.

Why doesn't Don Lemon attack those who control the images of black people being beamed into millions of homes around the world, those who profit from exploiting those images and those who reward people for living up to the stereotype starting with corporate America? Why doesn't he really talk about the real issue pertaining to Black on Black crime (which I mentioned earlier in this blog)? Why doesn't he talk about how many Whites are hooked on meth, the destruction of families the drug has caused and how it not only destroys the user's health but it harms children and anyone who resides in the house where the meth was smoked even if the drug was used several years ago by completely different tenants? Why not discuss the pharm parties and excessive use of various other drugs legal or otherwise? Why not address the tendency to over medicate children in order to substitute for decent parenting? Why doesn't he address the fact that White kids are running around with giant holes in their ears, many big colorful tattoos, and saggin pants as well? The holes can take a very long time to heal and can greatly jeopardize a person's ability to find gainful employment (unless they are a tattoo artist or they pierce people for a living);in some cases a surgical procedure may be needed to stitch up larger holes. The kid with the sagging jeans can at least take his off or put on a belt in order to fix his image. I don't think there's any chance in saving this guy though.

Just when I couldn't get any more pissed at Don Lemon for not really talking about the so called "Negro problem" , Michael Eric Dyson gets him, and humanity is restored.


But what if all Blacks really did what Don Lemon was talking about? What if we did exactly what the hippies did after the summer of love was over (don't front, all they did was cut their hair, take showers and go get jobs). Let's imagine that everybody went to college, got a good ass job, started a business, etc and started making serious money. What if all of the absentee fathers magically appeared to raise their families, and if applicable, any and all prison records were whisked away only to resemble that of the so called squeaky clean American citizen? Would we all turn out like this guy? For some reason, I beg to differ. Just ask Oprah and Michael Eric Dyson.


I'd like to see Don Lemon try to catch a cab in New York while wearing his suit. As clean as he is, I don't think the cabbies will be itching to have him as a customer.
