Jenner Can Be a Woman But Dolezal Can’t Be Black?

06.12.2015 | News | Jerome Hudson |

The media and the world are abuzz about the revelation that Spokane, Washington woman Rachel Dolezal is actually a white woman who has been misrepresenting herself as a black woman.

The controversy with Dolezal, among other things, is that she’s the president of the local NAACP.

Dolezal, however, is not being celebrated as a “brave” hero for living her true self in the same way that Bruce Jenner was when the Olympic athlete turned reality show star came out as a transgender woman on the cover of Vanity Fair.

Just as transgender describes people who feel as though they were born in the wrong body, the term transracial is being used to describe people like Dolezal who feel like they were born in the wrong skin.

So this begs the question: if Jenner can be a woman, why can’t Dolezal be black?

Based on all the hate that Dolezal is getting, something tells me she won’t be on the cover of Vanity Fair anytime soon.

The hypocrisy here stinks to high trans black white heaven.
