You're very welcome. I really haven't read many comments to recognize that mostly men were defending her, but I did find it funny when I read that Montel Williams blasted her! LOL! I don't mind at all that you want to know about me in relation to that historical Brown Bag Test, and I absolutely fail that test! LOL! My husband keeps telling me that I come close to passing, but it would have to be during a very cold winter and up in the north world, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I do have love for Ms. Dolezal and she looks so sad, I kind of feel sad for her too. But I don't like it that she was employed at an HBCU and put into a position to which she could have brought hardship to Black women. I read that in a recent post somewhere? I don't like it too, that a person like her has a better chance being financially furthered as being Black, than me. But when it comes to true African American women that are fair skinned, I have found my sistas to be more vocal about Black issues than many of my darker skin sistas. And, I can almost hear them now, ranting about Ms. Dolezal passing for White. I graduated from an HBCU many moons ago, and the powerful sistas that I've come across in my past come in many shades of Black. Oh Gosh, those were the Good Ole Days.

lol! Well, I think she might needs some therapy. I kinda feel for her too, because she now will be bombarded with so much on the issue of Black American issues and her choices. I can only imagine how White people are going to treat her. But on the one hand I've heard the saying that 'imitation is a form of flattery' so maybe some Black people might think it's okay for her to do what she did, but on the other hand, I believe, historically this issue of putting on 'Black skin' so-to-speak, when all things are going good, then being able to shed it during times of persecution, really is so wrong. She may not be guilty of this, but it is common in history.

Welcome to the boards! I understand your sentiment. I haven't commented on this subject and I won't. I can't even begin to understand the irritation unless I look at Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke and see how they have appropriated Black cool only when it benefits them. I guess overall, I don't care about her or Bruce Jenner. It's just another drop of crazy in an ocean of fruits and nuts.
