Rachel Dolezal's Serpent's Tooth

by JASmius



If she must teem, create her child of spleen, that it may live and be a thwart disnatur'd torment to her! Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth, with cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks, turn all her mother's pains and benefits to laughter and contempt, that she may feel how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!

- King Lear, Act 1, Scene 4, p. 281–289


I guess this answers the question of who is estranged from whom in the Dolezal family:



No, there’s no proof at all that those two albinos are your biological parents, Rachel, none at all....other than your birth certificate.

Something tells me Miss Dolezal isn't going to be particularly willing to undergo the requisite DNA test.

But then, that family has more such "issues" than just Rachel's ethnic confusion:

The sensitive matter at the center of the Rachel Dolezal family schism concerns a felony case involving charges of sex assault against Dolezal’s older brother, the Daily News has learned.

The white Dolezal, who has made international headlines for masquerading as a black woman, has been assisting a victim who has accused Dolezal's biological older brother of child molestation in Colorado, sources confirmed to the Daily News Saturday.

Joshua Dolezal, thirty-nine, was charged in 2013 with four felony counts of sex abuse of a victim who was a minor at the time, sources and court records confirmed.

The ongoing case in Clear Creek County is set to go to trial later this summer and has a status conference set for Monday, the sources confirmed.

Dolezal declined to speak with the Daily News on Saturday but previously suggested the timing of her white Montana-based parents’ media interviews about her racial identity was somehow connected to the Colorado case — and designed to damage her credibility.

So, in other words, her parents have plenty of proof that Rachel Dolezal is both white and their daughter, but she's the one with no proof that they're out to discredit her and shield her older brother from a crime me may or may not have committed, but has utterly nothing to do with her.  Tell me just exactly who has the ax to grind here again?

And then there's this:

She said her identification as a black woman “solidified” when she got full custody of her adopted black brother, Izaiah Dolezal, when he was in high school.

“He said, ‘You’re my real mom,’ and for that to be something that is plausible, I certainly can’t be seen as white and be Izaiah’s mom,” Dolezal said.

Um...why not?  Don't interracial adoptions happen all the time?  My wife was adopted (not interracially), and only in the past year - nearly a decade after her adoptive parents passed away - has she exhibited any desire to find her birth parents.  She considered the loving couple who adopted and raised her to be her mom and dad, and still does.  So how would that have been any different for Izaiah Dolezal with his adoptive older sister/"mom"?  Her being white clearly didn't make any difference to how he saw her or his affection for her.  That was all in her disturbed mind, something she used as additional rationalization and justification for her ethnic masquerade.

Allahpundit sums it up quite well in his lede:

Is this the statement of someone who’s so desperate to preserve what’s left of her black “authenticity” that she feels she has no choice but to question her lineage, or are we dealing with someone who’s legit mentally ill? What I mean is, is she knowingly BS-ing us with this answer or has she talked herself into believing it? I’ve got to think it’s the latter, just because there’s no good reason for her to claim her parents aren’t her real parents....The fact that she’d say something this nutty regardless makes me think she’s much further gone than we thought. Either that or she hates her parents so much that she can’t bring herself to acknowledge them as her real mom and dad, all racial politics aside.

I don't know if there's any good reason for that hatred, but I have to think it would have come out by now.   But whatever, if anything, they did to hurt their daughter does not justify the agony she is inflicting upon them, for the most selfish, dishonest, and self-delusional of motivations.

Which, ironically, made the NAACP the perfect place for such a convoluted racist.  They really should take her back.
