Rachel Dolezal – or should I say Nkechi Diallo – the disgraced former NAACP president who lied about being black, has legally changed her name to a West African moniker meaning “gift of god”. Despite receiving heavy criticism and worldwide condemnation for identifying as African American (and apparently stating that an unrelated black man she knew was her father), Dolezal/Diallo has continued to insist she considers herself to be black.

Now, Dolezal can identify as an African American all she wants, but despite having changed her name – Nkechi being an Igbo name from Nigeria and Diallo being a name taken from the Muslim Fula group in the Middle East and North Africa – she will never be able to relate to those who have had to grapple their way through their entire lives to get those who hold the power to determine the fate of their education and careers to look beyond their names.

God, didn't we comment on here just a week ago? She is a loony person and deserve what she gets. Sorry but you can't just make up your ethnicity because you feel like it. She was a NAACP chairwoman up until accusations came out saying she was white, she promptly denied them until her WHITE parents came out of the woodwork. Now she is saying that everything is not her fault, and that people are being racist because she is black. , you are WHITE. Just because I think I was black does not make my manhood grow three inches bigger or blacker. I am a white guy because my parents are white and that's the end of it. So stick to being white. The ONLY people that I have seen any type of confusion in regards to being African American are the White Africans that come here and mark being African American.

I assume most of us are disgusted that in this era of equality and diversity such nazi ish discrimination could be allowed to take place.

 

First they came for the Trans Racial and Trans Cultural....
