CABU GAH DIARIES: Between Rachael Dolezal And The Charleston Shootings…The Great Black American Stupidity.
Lately,America,the great nation of nations,has been engulfed in a series of tragic and somewhat ludicrous events that,were it not for the legendary maturity of the nation,would surely teat it apart.
On one side,we have Rachael Dolezal,a WHITE American woman who had been masquerading as BLACK for close to a decade now…even getting herself appointed as President of the influential NAACP,Spokane Chapter.
NAACP is a historic Afro-American organization that deals primarily with race issues and equality struggles in the very racist and segragative society that America is and has always been. And so,being appointed as President of such a huge organization is no mean feat…especially if you cheated your way to the top by tanning your Caucasian skin,donning black wigs and hairstyles and assuming a culture that wasn’t yours in the first place.
Since the explosion of that very unique story,Rachel has become a Twitter punchline,a subject of endless hilarious-but mean-internet memes,a butt of jokes on most late-night shows and an interesting case study in the complicated matter of race that America has been unable to address or bring to a final,conclusive closure.

The ‘Black’ Rachael as she looks today,tan and all.

Right: Far Right: Rachael as she looked growing up,pure Caucasian.
Rachael,who was born pure white by pure Caucasian parents,is said to have developed a huge disdain for the white race-her own race-and at around her mid-twenties,decided to alter her physical outlook and even identity in a bid to appear BLACK. And identify as Black American.
The trick seemed to have worked. And since then,Rachel identified herself as black…even in official government documentation papers.
Rachel’s biggest crime,it has now been concluded,was not the fact that she denied her own race and opted to be called BLACK and act so,but the fact that she LIED about her race for close to a decade. And had to alter her skin color-and Afro-Americanize-her hair to appear like a typical black woman.
And while Rachel is an accomplished civil rights activist who has,for years,selflessly fought for the rights of African Americans,representing them and their plight on all levels,addressing every Black issue,appearing in countless street demos to call for equal black rights and liberties and appearing in numerous TV shows to defend African Americans and call for their respect and place in American society,especially after crude police brutalities and wanton Black murders,the same black people still felt that she was NOT an authentic BLACK woman…that she was merely jumping onto the black culture for her own social and political advancement and that she had not really tasted the rough black American life to ably defend them and assume their race.
What nonsense!
And while the Dolezal debate continued unfurling,with the media jumping at each and every angle to the historic expose,another tragic story hit the sleepy city of Charleston in South Carolina.
While the while nation was too busy transfixed on Miss Dolezal,too busy panning her and making her the butt of mean jokes and calling her out,a 21 year old WHITE male walked into a quiet bible study in a historically black church (Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church) and ,after an hour of deceptively sitting among the gathered worshipers,rose up and opened fire on the gathered congregation killing nine instantly and walking out as casually as he had walked in.
Later,it was revealed that this bloodthirsty savage had wanted to start a ‘Race War’ with his absolutely senseless murders of a bunch of innocent BLACK worshipers in a 105-year old church that is most renown as the epicenter of the tumultuous civil rights struggle in America.
After the satanic carnage,nine innocent BLACK souls lay dead. Others severely wounded…And while millions of other BLACK people remained scared,angry,confused,mournful and pained.
And while the 21-year old demented WHITE idiot failed miserably in his disgusting quest to divide America and spark a racial war,it brings to sharp focus the treatment that Miss Dolezal,the ‘fake’ Black woman,had been accorded-and is still being accorded-for donning a black skin and sinking herself into the black people struggles even though she was as white as a cloud.

Dylann Roof,the sick Charleston suspect.
Rachel was ridiculed and roundly panned for daring to disown her own race in favor of another race that she,subsequently,dedicated all her life fighting for.
Never mind that Rachel’s own parents,Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal,the same clowns who went to the media to sensationally expose her,had adopted four black kids who grew up with Rachael and who were the first-and greatest-inspiration for Rachel’s final transformation to the Black race.
But the black race itself…the race that Rachael spent years fighting for,representing,defending and standing by in thick and thin,is the same race that told her off…told her we don’t need you. Told her “You’re late to the party “,told her “You don’t know our struggle enough” and told her off for daring to want to be LIKE them. Without having gone though their pain.
What utter Black American stupidity!
I didn’t see women tell of Caitlyn Jenner for wanting to be a woman without ever having gone through the traditional women struggles…which continue to date even in America. And across the World at large.
Women,for decades and decades now,have suffered the same struggles that Black people were subjected to during the Dark Slavery eras…Women were enslaved too,raped,treated as Second Class Citizens,denied the right to vote in America,denied plum jobs,paid poorly and treated as lesser beings and yet,this race,this women race accepted Caitlyn Jenner with open arms…Caityln herself,a former macho male with all the perks of not just being male but also celebrity, never having gone through the dehumanizing life that Women have gone through for millennia. And still go through today across Africa,Asia and India.

But as the Charleston massacre unfolded,I would have wanted to see what Rachel’s reaction would be. I would have wanted to watch Rachel,the fake black woman,stand up against the Charleston barbarity and stand with her adopted race…
But now I can’t. ….Because the same race that a white woman had to change her skin to fight for and stand with is the same race that another white bastard suddenly decided to wipe off…albeit very shoddily.
Hmmm…And that’s America for you.
Complicated.
Between Rachel Dolezal and the WHITE Charleston killer,I wonder who the Black Americans would rather. A WHITE woman turned Black who assumes their race and sincerely fights for them for decades…Or a professed WHITE racist teen boy who makes it clear that they are enemies and that he is out to wipe them off.
Quite absurd.
