Rachel Dolezal Today Show Interview: "I Identify as Black"

As if this woman couldn't get any worse.

I don't even know where to start with this, other than that reading about this made me retch. 

I cannot believe that this one woman would go so deep to appropriate and steal a culture. She also added on that she "identifies with the black experience." Like NO YOU DON'T YOU STAGED THE HATE CRIMES AGAINST YOU AND BEFORE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER FACED THE SAME LEVEL OF OPPRESSION AS ANY BLACK PERSON EVER.

It jut really infuriates me, I don't even know what to say.

While her work for equality is meritorious, it does not change the fact that she lived a life of deception. She could have identified herself as an ally for equality and still have been as much of a leader as she was prior to her parents' revelation of her true identity, but NOOOOOOOOO she just had to lie to the community that she was so set on helping! 

If Rachel Dolezal "identifies with the black experience," then I identify with somebody that wants to throttle her for her disrespect of other cultures.
