I can't do a C&P with this phone, arthritic fat finger syndrome. It is a very interesting read from this allys' view. Article is dated 4/19/2017.

1. How privileged Rach or whatever she calls herself these days is

She gets to speak down to black people

Tell us she knows blackness more than us.


Tell us that we imagined full out and subtle racism because after all – it’s just a social construct – we’ve made up in our heads

And of course she KNOWS because well – look at her.


And all the while she has the opportunity to ‘get out’ of her blackness at any given time.


Truth be told – that movie Get Out - -very relevant to this.


Almost like – Rach or Whatver she calls herself – wants to ERASE black women.

She is one sinister mo-fo.




PS - I will ALWAYS always remember all of the usual suspects at DU who NEVER ever take the side of a black person -

Who all of a sudden could stand up for a black woman - but only because deep down inside they KNOW she's white. They know it. Y'all didn't trick me.

2. Rachel has, like alot of white people, fetishized blackness

You see it all the time. The white girls/women that only date brothers; the white/Asian whatever dudes that swear that they are black. It's endless.

The difference is that this woman has actually adopted the culture that she's fetishized, and it's clear that she doesn't know hardly anything about the culture itself. She's a modern day Amos (or Andy).

The pic of the interviewer's face as she talks to Ms. Rachel says it all:

3. Says a thousand words

Just wondering where her defenders went?

Without the brain exchange - she's the living embodiment of Get Out.

4. That cretin is still in the news?

Ugh.
