One of the defining hypocricies of the bleeding hearts is their mouthing the platitudes but making darn sure to reside in white communities. <br /><br />But, for sure, Dolezal made a fool out of herself by trying to imitate a chemeleon and immerse herself in the black community. Though I'm curious now where it was exactly that she RESIDED.Col. B.

Except based on so...Or in another word, tribalism. Except based on some personal characteristic vs some shared community. Dozel wants to belong to a tribe (blacks) and works to 'appear' as such - because appearances are all that is necessary for a characteristic. Being part of a community involves LIVING as part of the community: shared values, shared beliefs, shared culture. Many different types of people can be part of a community - not all sharing the same physical characteristics.<br /><br />And the 'level' of characteristic is important, ie "OREOs" are shunned by the larger black community for not being 'black enough'. Think of the educational elite. It is not enough to have graduated college, it has to be the RIGHT college. Recall the sneering of Palin's Idaho (?) college degree.<br /><br />Othering is a characteristic of the current Left, can't call them Liberals as there is nothing LIBERAL about their deeds/thoughts. Even within the Left, othering - privilege - is rampant.<br />Tracy Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396494193507308556noreply@blogger.com
