White woman wants to be black and lead the NAACP; why is this a controversy? Let her express herself as being black if that's how she feels, regardless of the way she was born.

Haha the liberal spin on how this is different than Bruce Jenner is hilarious. Just sit back and enjoy the hypocrisy.

If caucasian is a skin color, then a penis is a gender, which can be changed then she can tan and crimp her hair and be black. She has the same reasons for changing that Bruce does. I say you go girl.

I suspect you will be waiting for an intelligent/ logical answer for quite a while.

She doesn't look too bad as a black chick.

The NAACP should look at it like this; there's a white person out there that cares.

I want someone to come out and say that she has a mental disorder for identifying as being black. That'll be a racist shit show. "So, it's crazy to want to be black?"

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is

I thought skin color wasn't supposed to matter?....uh, that is only if you can use it to your advantage. Reading the woman's curricula vitae she certainly is qualified for the position, unless you want to discriminate against her because of skin color or ethnicity.

She's so brave and courageous. Can you imagine living as black woman trapped in a white woman's body?

I guess part of the issue is she made a whole story up of opression and received scholarship money to go to Howard.... She was given all of these advantages based on a lies. I was reading some stuff, and people are butt hurt claiming that transracial isn't a thing, but transgender is.... Some people really piss me off.

If you want to be mad at her for lying and cheating, fine. If you're mad about her wanting to be black, then gtfo.

LOL! You can't just want to be black. You can't be black unless you are black. GTFO.

It's the same as transgender though. Having a surgery and cutting your dick off technically makes you a woman. Going through treatments to change the pigment of your skin should do the same thing.

Basically my point is, who cares gives a shit.

That's how it used to work until the liberals were allowed to speak without reason.

These days, you can be whoever you want and if anyone questions you they are a bigot.

Transgender doesn't include a sex change though. So, transgender and transracial are the same thing...bullshit!

Apparently she has resigned.
