I’m disgusted and hurt. She managed to dupe, swindle, and trick so many people in believing that her, a white woman, was Black.
It isn’t just her fucking appropriation and her self tan. Its that she had the blatant audacity to claim an experience that wasn’t hers. She claimed a lifestyle that she NEVER experienced.
Her oppression as a Black Woman and person she had seminars on, wrote about, talked about… Its all lies. These aren’t her societal burdens. All she did was observe and take notes and take OUR FUCKING OPPRESSION and wear it like a damn Halloween costume. Nothing she has said in her time parading as a Black Woman is her experience. All the racism she felt was ours and she used it as an albi to dabble in a culture cuz she was bored with hers.
No words can explain the hurt I’m feeling. To get ANYONE, white and non black.. And even Black Men to listen to the oppression I’ve faced as a Black Woman is to pull teeth and face insulting retaliations.
I do not fucking care how much she “wanted” to be Black. She isn’t. She has made a complete mockery of me and every single Black Woman.
I will never forgive her for what she’s done. I am not an experience, a quick switch decision to have. I am a fucking human. The pain and the tears in feeling from this is just another dent in my being caused by White People, privilege, and oppression.
So, fuck you Rachel Dolezal. Fuck you and your entire being. I hope you burn in hell you racist bitch. And yes, Rachel Dolezal is racist.
To all my fellow black women, I’m sorry. Not on Rachel Dolezal’s behalf, but I’m sorry for those who feel the pain I am feeling.
