-Short Attention Span Theater-
Are you ready for the Rachel Dolezal reality show?

#1  Dolezal’s “phone has been ringing constantly since the scandal broke, and she truly seems to be enjoying all of the attention, the insider said. “Going back to her former life just isn’t an option.”

The denier of reality get's a 'realty' show? Why am I not surprised ?

#2  Well she was an attention whore before, so nothing has changed.

#6  Raj it doesn't exist. Like peak oil. There will always be more stupid people. ;)

#7  Can't help but think of that movie SOUL MAN, except she went through college white and went black face for her career.

How is it black face is so knee-jerk offensive to so many blacks yet Rachel is getting a pass from so many?
Posted by: rjschwarz || 06/17/2015 14:34 Comments || Top||

#8  She claimed her black father got death threats while in the Marines. Her father isn't black. She is now dening her parents are really hers, saying "there is no proof they are really my parents". A simple DNA test can prove that. She's in a complete fantasy world.
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 06/17/2015 14:42 Comments || Top||

#9  She's in a complete fantasy world - So isn't Dreams from My Father, but it plays well in the "our people" world so well, there is no getting around "living in a complete fantasy world". Dats da ticket.

#10  I thought we hit Peak Stupidity yesterday

Intelligence is finite. There are just more people. More today than yesterday.

#11  Nope.

#12  @#3: Thanks. I had forgotten about that book. Read it in High School for a sociology class. Few people remember that his experiences took place solely in the South in 1959 and, although historical, have little resemblance to today. Not that Al Sharpton, etal, would take that side of the argument.

#13  Let's hear it for having re-defined the mental health codes in the ICD.

#14  Which one? the white bread, the blackface, or the trashed hussy visiting Jamaica look?

#15  As per #8, now comeths TRANS-PARENTAGE/
PARENTING???

TRANS-MOTHERHOOD versus TRANS-FATHERHOOD???

D *** NG, this means my smelly lovable Guam boonie dog(s) may had actually been BIRDS in disguise all this time!

#16  I haven't seen anything showing her timeline. When was she in Howard? Did the One becoming President have anything to do with her ethnical conversion?

#1  Wonder what the taxes are on that $9B.
Posted by: Skidmark || 06/17/2015 10:42 Comments || Top||

#2  $0.00

If you've got that kind of money, you can pay accountants to claim you need food stamps.

Michelle Obama Cries That Muslim Women are Being Treated Like Jim Crow South Blacks
Michelle Obama is full of compassion for Muslims, apparently. During her trip to Europe this week, the First Lady told Muslim women in Britain
in Britain? WTF?
that they are being discriminated against just like blacks were in the Jim Crow south.

Michelle Obama compared her struggle to succeed as a young black woman in America to the experience of British Muslim girls
Oh, now I get it.
during a visit to in inner-city girls school in London.

#1  well its partly true

#2  Excuse me while I throw up.

What a worthless piece of shit this woman is.
Posted by: DarthVader || 06/17/2015 0:41 Comments || Top||

#3  So is Moosh saying we should invade the Middle East and convert them all to Christianity? Because being a woman under Islam automatically gets you the short end of the stick.
Posted by: SteveS || 06/17/2015 1:05 Comments || Top||

#4  No no no...
She is advocating institutionalizing of Muslim American standards in Britain.
Posted by: Skidmark || 06/17/2015 4:30 Comments || Top||

#5  Well, if the solution to Jim Crow was getting rid of Jim Crow, then the solution to Islam is to get rid of Islam?

Careful what you wish for, Ma'am.

#6  He uses basketball metaphors, she uses Jim Crow metaphors. IMA rather fatigued of both. How many weeks and days of them do we have remaining ?

#7  Hey Moose, still waiting for an explanation on how you lost your law license.

#8  The key to understanding Michy O is that she's always the most oppressed person in the room. It's a handy bookend to somebody always being the 'smartest person in the room'.

#9  582 days until January 20, 2017 - A very long time to be sitting in the dentist chair without pain medication.

#10  I don't recall blacks flying aircraft into multistory civilian buildings. BTW, the Amish and other communities have their women cover their hair as well in public. They don't seem to draw the the type of attention that those who did the act as described in the first sentence.
Posted by: Procopius2k || 06/17/2015 8:42 Comments || Top||

#11  All while M%uslms are killing, rapin and ensalving Blacks by the tens of thousands. Let's not forget that.
Posted by: JFM || 06/17/2015 8:46 Comments || Top||

#12  And it was very likely Muslims that sold the black slaves to Americans and others.
Posted by: Rambler in Virginia || 06/17/2015 9:20 Comments || Top||

#13  Actually 542 days 14 hours and 42 minutes, not that I'm counting.

#14  So tell me again why she's in Europe?
Posted by: tu3031 || 06/17/2015 12:56 Comments || Top||

#15  Never mind why, I just hope she STAYS !
Posted by: Besoeker || 06/17/2015 13:27 Comments || Top||

#16  If Michelle really struggled to succeed she did well for herself and should stop complaining.

If she is saying she struggled and failed, and is only successful because she road Barracks coat-tails she should have the decency to not bring it up at every opportunity.

#17  Will FLOTUS become the next jihadi witch?

BTW: Jihadi jokes website. Here.
