Ahhh, DadaDoggyDannyKozakSaxfn, luv ~ :-*
When first this came out, I thought this would be an excellent way to open dialogue about, mayhap, transethnic identity: though I see issues there too, especially for those taught to view being a certain race or ethnicity as being less than or inferior...
Then, I listened to and watched the interview with Ms. Dolezal and somewhat she said profoundly disturbed me. She said she had to be black for her sons, as we could see.
I sat with that comment for some time. Here is my issue with it and, by extension, her: there are many of us whose skin color does not match that of our children, and, for some of us there is no way to alter that or certain perceptions and interactions arising when out in public due to that. In one fell swoop, Rachel Dolezal negated the experience, diminished, if you will, the experiences of so very many mothers who have children whose appearance does not somehow match their own. Tis this I take most exception to, frankly. I've heard and read other arguments: NPR has some of the most cogent displayed, everything from frustration because it seems another way for black men to cast aside and diminish black women to discussion of a negation of the history behind what our light-skinnedness oft-times means (a legacy of visits by masters to slave quarters) and how Rachel's actions somehow make light of that fact.
I get what you're saying, luv. I do. And, part of me thinks, mayhap, community was a part of this for her and connectedness since it appears her family of origin did not provide that for her in the way she needed. I know not. Tis good to dialogue regarding this, luv, however. :-*

Good words, Savaja. Mothers do strange things for their children; however, not being true to yourself or who you are should not be at the top of the list.
But, wait. I myself haven't been who I am in the bible belt pasture of sheep due to the overwhelming majority of ultra conservative dominance (which has sense changed in the 30+ years I have graduated). I am now but only due to that paradigm shift.
Like you, I am not in her shoes and therefore can't judge her actions other than to say how sorry I am she felt, for whatever reason, she could not be fully herself.

I hear you, Ahavati. And, you are correct regarding speculation, as sometimes people are not cognizant ourselves, fully, of why we do certain things.
One thing, though: it does seem to me you speak of two differing things, luv. One, to be fully oneself. The other, to assume another identity not one's original. Mayhap, choosing not to be fully oneself? Again, I know not in certainty.
These are weighty matters...

They are, indeed, two different things; however, are we not in actuality assuming another identity whenever we are not truly ourselves?
Love our discourses. This reminds me of an older poem I need to view and potentially post.

Ok....well, maybe she's 'crazy' ('got deep issues'),& despite seeming modestly intelligent, is not 'answering' the criticism in an intelligent manner, but again, so what?
Us white folk been purposely ex'posin ourselves to dangerous radiation for generations to look darker.
unfortunately, it seems most of the collective Us seems to want to humiliate & punish her for this amusing ("news" as profitable entertainment) for what she's 'done'...& as far as 'liberals' having issues with her issues doesn't bode well for the collective Karma (the only kind there is), but that's par for just about 99% of how our precious little egos poison "our collective being", which, ironically Ego will Not Allow Us to experience other than as an abstraction, leaving Ego as Existences' only true Reality, which is the cause of endless suffering among us.
our most 'serious' issues seem to be no more than pathetic jokes.

we're saddled seemingly endless generations of trying to be 'something else' in the noble name Being True To My Self.....none of our brains can even approximate have 'a grip' on 'knowing' the levels of consciousness that make Us what We are...& then there's egocentric delusion that We Control it all in some bi-polar, dualistic manner.......
what do I know.....less than yesterday, praise the lord!
Great dialogue, Danny. I completely understand where you're coming from.

this news 'story' did filter through auntie beeb
and reached me and tapped me on the shoulder
over here and I looked at it and I shrugged - I
suppose it raises loads of issues, of course, but I'm
with mister dada: the real issue is that it's a bloody
shame that it should matter at all...
now then, back to being silly...
