View Full Version : This Rachel Dolezal business. Who knew that the film 'Soul Man' would be quite so prophetic?

Why has no-one asked for C Thomas Howell's views on the matter?

Says he "identifies as black" so it's all fine. The "coloured people" she's been advancing all these years mostly disagree.
I'm not so sure, I think it's fine if people want to pretend they are black.

Seems we can pretty much 'self-identify' as what we like these days :cloud9:

the actual, official facts that's caused the resentment and bitterness here. In fairness to Westwood, I don't think he ever stated that the Bishop of Bath & Wells, or whoever his father is, was really Kunta Kinte or anyone.

gone for the educated, well-spoken, poltically-active black thing. In other words, she's gone for the sort of blackness that's most easily carried off if you're actually white. If anything, Westwood has pulled off a much more impressive bit of chameleonic activity - without even a perm or a bottle of fake tan to back it up.

It's tricky stuff, this identity politics business.

'focuses on the intersection of race, gender and class in the contemporary diaspora with a specific emphasis on black women in visual culture’, as apparently she is, the rules of identity-politics and victimhood mean that people in certain quarters are going to ask you to 'check your privilege'.
To get around this she has adopted the notion of self-identification.

utter craziness. She's now saying here parents might not actually be her parents despite biologically definitely being her parents. :hehe:
She is a Grade A lunatic and no mistake. And I, for one, applaud her. :bow:
