Well it looks like the NAACP has turned a corner in it’s decision to back Rachel Dolezal, the crazy weirdo white woman who pretended to be black for years, even though so many African-Americans registered their outrage online.
Here’s their statement:
For 106 years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds.
NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal’s advocacy record. In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational, and economic justice for all people, and we encourage Americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization. Hate language sent through mail and social media along with credible threats continue to be a serious issue for our units in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. We take all threats seriously and encourage the FBI and the Department of Justice to fully investigate each occurrence.
What the statement doesn’t address is that there’s a difference between being white and advocating for black people, and pretending to be black while doing it. And blacks are not happy about it!
Also they want all “hate language” to be investigated? Do they mean like these tweets from black people?
I will call Rachel Dolezal a bitch as many times as I want. She's dumb af for pretending to be black.

A couple of things.
1) fuck the NAACP.
2*) Identity politics is toxic.
3) "transracial" is not nor has it ever been a thing.— Fete Groupie (@_Rickii_) June 12, 2015
