The NAACP issued a statement Friday in support of a local NAACP leader in Washington state who has been accused by her family of misrepresenting herself as black.
The civil rights group rushed to the defense of Rachel Dolezal, the head of the NAACP Spokane chapter, after the woman’s parents told a newspaper Thursday her ancestry was white with some “faint traces” of Native American heritage.
Dolezal “is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter,” the NAACP said.
“One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind M. Dolezal’s advocacy record,” the group added.
The statement also alluded to media reports that have raised skepticism over claims Dolezal had received hate mail in late February and March.
I pray that SCOTUS sides with "Michigan" in the coming weeks, or else more of this craziness will continue.
ReplyDeleteIf we lose, then next "they" will argue that in addition to children being able to decide their Gender identity, children will also be able to decide their Racial identity. And the Main Stream Media won't even admit that Bruce Jenner is still a man, even if he legally changed his name to that of a Caitlyn.
Just this month we saw another case of craziness, with the annulment of the Brittney Griner Lesbian "marriage", after 28 days. Her partner was pregnant already. So much for Lesbians being taken seriously. However, if there ever was a case for one's private parts not being the same as one's gender, it would be Brittney Griner (6'8" and talks and acts like a man) but she's never been subjected to a physical/genetic exam, so who knows?
