The race relations in this country and really just relations in this country as a whole because it is not limited to race are strained because people were given equality and realized it sucks. You have to have your own job, take care of yourself, do as your told, follow the rules and constantly work to better yourself. If names are called you have to just keep walking and ignore it because you know who you are and have the self confidence to be you and content with who you are. If you are equal then your not special, lord knows you can't not be special. Just wait until the gays find out that marriage rights screw them on taxes and that their spouse gets half their stuff when they leave. We will have no doubt slighted them as white men because we did not provide protection for these things. If I run from the cops I will get shot, if I have four kids I will have to work to feed them, I have to pay my taxes, settle up with my ex-wife and treat people that I want to respect me with respect. If you want to be equal there are the ground rules.
You get no breaks, special treatment or opportunities. You are equal. I am expected to be INDEPENDENT. You are also. As a matter of fact I believe somebody wrote a declaration of this silliness called independence. It even came with a few rights if I remember correctly. The problem is we are independent and equal so your rights only go as far as you and stop when they get to me, that's that whole tricky independence thing.
This woman can paint herself purple for all I care. She shouldn't have to be black to be in charge of the NAACP. We are all equal right?
JUNE 15--The NAACP official who today resigned in the face of evidence that she masqueraded as black once sued Howard University for denying her teaching posts and a scholarship because she was a white woman, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Rachel Dolezal, 37, who headed the NAACP's Spokane, Washington chapter, sued Howard for discrimination in 2002, the year she graduated from the historically black college with a Master of Fine Arts degree.
Dolezal, then known as Rachel Moore, named the university and Professor Alfred Smith as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C.'s Superior Court. During the pendency of the civil case, Smith was chairman of Howard's Department of Art.
According to a Court of Appeals opinion, Dolezal's lawsuit "claimed discrimination based on race, pregnancy, family responsibilities and gender." She alleged that Smith and other school officials improperly blocked her appointment to a teaching assistant post, rejected her application for a post-graduate instructorship, and denied her scholarship aid while she was a student.
The court opinion also noted that Dolezal claimed that the university's decision to remove some of her artworks from a February 2001 student exhibition was "motivated by a discriminatory purpose to favor African-American students over" her.
As detailed in the court opinion, Dolezal's lawsuit contended that Howard was "permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult."
Judge Zoe Bush dismissed Dolezal's complaint in February 2004, 18 months after the lawsuit was filed and Dolezal was deposed on several occasions. Bush found no evidence that Dolezal was discriminated on the basis of race or other factors. The D.C. Court of Appeals subsequently affirmed Bush's decision.
Following the dismissal of Dolezal's lawsuit (and the Court of Appeals decision), she was ordered to reimburse Howard for a "Bill of Costs" totaling $2728.50. During the case, she was also ordered to pay the university nearly $1000 in connection with an "obstructive and vexatious" court filing that sought to improperly delay her examination by an independent doctor.
Dolezal's lawsuit, included "claims for medical and emotional distress damages," according to a court docket. (5 pages)
