The NAACP is bust - and the black community knows it

So news has broken that the leader of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP...

wait for it...

Is not black. And I mean not just "half white," I mean, she's the whole nine yards white, with German, Czech, and Swedish heritage. She faked being black by using tanning sprays and using hair tricks, and going as far as to pretend that an unrelated black man was her father.

What's interesting, of all things, is not the fact that the NAACP mistakenly hired a liar. It's not even the fact that she pretended to have a black family, going so far as to pretend that her adopted black brother was her son... nor the fact that she faked being discriminated against on the basis of her blackness... no, what I find insanely curious is the fact that...

Rachel Dolezal wasn't outed by a member of the black community.
Rachel Dolezal was outed by her pasty white parents.

That means that the black man who was asked (paid?) to pretend to be her father didn't care that she was a white woman pretending to be black and leading a part of the NAACP...

Her multiple black friends (she spent years inserted into the black community) who undoubtedly knew that she was really white said nothing...

Despite the fact that rumors had circulated for years that Rachel Dolezal was really white, and despite the fact that undoubtedly dozens of African Americans knew of the facade, not one black person cared enough to out her as a fraud when she headed the NAACP.

Instead, it was her parents who outed her - and I guarantee it had nothing to do with any sort of anger about her "appropriating black culture." After nearly six months of this charade, the parents (who had been completely cut from Rachel's life) went to the media, because her mother was upset about her being such a horrendous liar.

So... the black community that knew her didn't care enough to speak up when she went from merely faking an ethnicity to claiming to represent that ethnicity on a city-wide level. Not the people who weakly suspected her to be a fake; not the people who strongly suspected her to be a fake; not the people who knew for a fact that she was fake...

NOT ONE BLACK PERSON SAID A SINGLE WORD

Which pushes forward a single conclusion, I think:

The NAACP is irrelevant to the black community. The black community is done with other black people -real or fake- claiming to represent them. Not only that, but even those who worry about social justice (you know, the people that would have jumped over one another to befriend Rachel Dolezal after her public proclamations of victimhood) didn't care enough to do anything.

I think the black community is starting to care less and less about the concept of social justice - or at the very least, the black community in Spokane. I think that's a good thing.


-and no, the outrage you see happening now in the media is irrelevant. Of course the black community has to be "outraged" at the lies; otherwise the NAACP loses total face, instead of partial face. It doesn't change the facts, though.

The NAACP is bust - and the black community knows it.
