President of Spokane NAACP outed as white imposter

[Ban my account ffs!]

The NAACPs statement was exactly what it should be.  She has worked hard for the advancement of colored people.

Presumably she hid her past because of bad blood with her parents.  This is why she felt adopted by her black friends and their families and identified with them...and also why she legally adopted her brother.

The amount of ignorant finger waving here is pretty sad.

Watching everyone go zrrrrt bzzzrrrt DOES NOT COMPUTE here is amazing.  Cultural appropriation?  Tacky?

Guess a white guy just has to find subtle ways to call this woman a race traitor.

If she says she's black, she's black. That's it. End of story. No one has the right to define her race but her and frankly, all of the transphobia surrounding this story is sickening.

I love this forum so much.

We love you too, Cathy!

This is just ridiculous. Trans-racial, trans-abled, trans-ethnic. All of it, these self-conception disorders, including that one- you know what I mean. I don't know why the medical community has completely abdicated their responsibility here.

There, I said it. Give this post 10 death points for intolerance and bigotry, if you wish. Heck, give the other ones where I've said anything about a "teakettle" 10 death points too, because that's what I was talking about (if it wasn't already obvious).

Lol.  I mean...lol.

This is the internet, I don't know why I should have to censor myself.

By the way...he is referring to transgender people.  He's too much of a coward to say it outright.

Yes, we've come around to accept gay people after a long and public social debate where it's essentially been determined there's no good reason not to. Which is undoubtedly an excellent thing. With these things, however, it seems like they've trailed along unnoticed and that it is now mandatory that we not question anyone's right to "determine their own identity" without having ever really established why. So when talking to people, reading articles, and even, say The New York Times comment section, there's an overwhelming sense of bemusement as to "since when exactly did we decide this sort of thing was now normal?"

The answer to your question "why" is above in the same post "why not?"

But that still doesn't explain why SJWs love transgendered people but hate the idea of transracialism. It's not a logically consistent position.

Why not let people be transracial?

Science actually backs up transgenderism(ex. difference in brains between females and males). There is nothing in science that actually backs "transracial", since there is nothing in the brain that is different between the races.

It is complete bull****.

So it is completely cultural and only skin deep.  Then transracialism should not be controversial at all.

Or the Ojibwe third gender for that matter.  Ozawindib, a famous warrior, proposed to marry white men many times and was refused.

You realize this woman is a fuc*ing nutjob, right? She's an embarrassment on society. So we don't defend her, we don't condone her, and we shouldn't acknowledge her.

Projection is a helluva defense mechanism.
