By now most readers here are aware of the Rachel Dolezal story. (The white woman in "blackface" according to Ezra Dolezal, the adopted son of Rachel Dolezal's biological parents)
Today she resigned from her leadership position inside the NAACP. This is no surprise. She really had no choice, and I'm sure NAACP leadership made this clear to her over the past few days. Born (or grew up) in a teepee? Hunted food with bows and arrows growing up? Lived several years in Africa? These are among things allegedly asserted by Rachel Dolezal yet each is disputed by family members who should know, and this is not even the serious stuff; this is just stuff that's no more than stupid to invent!
Then comes today. In her resignation letter she speaks of the recent controversy calling it an "unexpected firestorm"?
I'm sorry. This lady is sick, and I'm not being facetious. She is really sick. Additionally, she's hurt folks she claims as her own people, and black females in particular. How can this whole thing blowing up in her face be an "unexpected firestorm"? What did she think was going to happen, ultimately? Her own brother (adopted) says a few years ago she told him not to blow her cover. So she knew there was a bombshell there waiting to explode.
Individuals like this make me wonder what on earth are people thinking these days?
