champu 1 #3 June 14, 2015 Quote"One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership," it said in a statement. It added: "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." Sincerity here is moot, but this is the right attitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #10 June 14, 2015 Oh... There it is.... http://www.theroot.com/articles/history/2014/02/traces_of_african_ancestry_in_a_white_person_the_likely_reason.html In the South, the infamous “one-drop rule” was once employed during the Jim Crow era to classify African Americans as anyone who had one drop of African blood. Had there been DNA testing during that time, the segregated South would have looked quite different, since we now know that some people who identify as primarily white actually have some African ancestry as well. New information brought to light by new DNA-testing technologies opens up a new conversation on race and identity. As you noted, there have been several studies showing that DNA results of many African Americans indicate that they have between 20 and 30 percent European ancestry. These results reflect the fact that many slave owners fathered children by their slaves. DNA tests also show that the opposite of this scenario can be true: Those who identify as primarily white can have African ancestry.

Andy9o8 0 #23 June 15, 2015 QuoteShe resigned (thank God). No, you can thank her vindictive parents, who are retaliating against her for exposing their abuse of children, for removing her African-American younger adoptive brother from their abusive home, and for her support of the victim who has accused her older brother of criminal sexual abuse. Gee, now why on earth might someone in her shoes be psychologically motivated to deny her immediate blood relatives, and to establish an entirely new, independent identity through which to live out the remainder of her life, and perhaps allow herself and her kid brother to heal a bit? One cannot imagine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her story about abuse and your defense of her is bullshit. Her brother calls this "blackface". QuoteEzra Dolezal said the accusations of physical punishment were false. They divided the family. He said he never confronted his adopted sister when she asked him not to blow her cover because he didn't want to make the situation worse. QuoteHe said Dolezal's transformation was tantamount to living in "blackface." "It's kind of a slap in the face to African-Americans because she doesn't know what it's like to be black," said Ezra Dolezal, whose biological mother was white and father half-black. "She's only been African-American when it benefited her. She hasn't been through all the struggles. She's only been African-American the last few years."
