Sometimes the headlines write themselves

Unreal - from National Review:

Fake Black Lady Rachel Dolezal Invited to Feature at a Rally for Natural Black Hair
Rachel Dolezal, the white lady who got busted pretending to be a black lady, has somehow managed to get herself invited to be a feature at a rally for natural black hair.

The rally, called the “Naturally Isis Braid-On, Economic Liberty March and Rally,” will take place in Dallas on Saturday.

Naturally Isis is a black hair salon founded by Isis Brantley, a “natural hair stylist” who, according to the description on her salon’s website, “has been a vibrant spokeswoman for black ancestral culture for over thirty years” who has been “actively involved in the fight for preserving cultural identity for African Americans.”

So, why the hell did she invite Rachel Dolezal to headline her rally? Is the best way to celebrate your “cultural identity” really to invite a woman whose claim to fame is stealing it? I mean, it’s not even like Dolezal stopped at posting a picture of herself in a rasta cap on Instagram. No, she literally (not figuratively) stole a black identity — as in, pretending to be a black person, telling people she was a black person, and telling people that a particular black man was her father even though that black man was denying it — to launch her own academic and activist career.

Rachel's comment reveals a lot:

Dolezal, by the way, told The Daily Beast that she just doesn’t understand why there’s all this hubbub about her appearance.

“It’s a justice issue and I’ve been a social justice activist for years,” she said. “It’s really that simple.”

Bingo - Rachel is a Social Justice Warrior and Social Justice Warriors always lie.
