The Curious Case of Rachel Dolezal (3)

A CNN panel tonight on Rachel Dolezal really just unloaded on her completely unnecessary posing as a black woman when she still could have been involved in race issues as a white woman. Marc Lamont Hill in particular was incredibly puzzled by Dolezal’s actions, saying that no one really chooses to be black as an identity.

"People historically have lied about their race, in order to get more stuff," Hill points out. "Very few people choose Black as an identity, unless they have to. Black is something people have historically tried to get out of, which is also problematic."
