Rachel Doleza:

It is not about the quality work that you

did for the NAACP, it s about how you

went about it.

I Have Nothing More to Say About Ms. Doleza Other Than...

I have much empathy and relate to her identification with the Black American Community however, she lied. The mere fact that Ms. Doleza thought about the possibility of living as a Black woman and then proceeded to change her hair and appearance in order to begin a life as a Black woman, is white privilege. Moreover, based on her intellect and experiences, on some level she was very well aware of this, yet choose to justify her actions as a personal decision based on her desire to self identify as Black. Ms Doleza was raised and socialized within the white race. From personal experiences, no matter the level of her affinity with the Black race, there is still a level of her whiteness ingrained and cannot just simply be washed away.
