Caught in a lie: Dolezal being interviewed by TV host Matt Lauer on the ‘Today Show’. — AFP
RACHEL Dolezal, to put it politely, is one confused soul. The more she parades her delusional thinking, the more she convinces everyone else that her notion of identity as a choice is simply wrong.
Is she mad, bad and dangerous to know? She is certainly maddening. Her fraud, at first seen as a kind of extreme wiggerism, now appears pretty dreadful. Sure, she was extremely adept at feigning “blackness”, but appearance isn’t everything. Whatever she thought she was doing, she has taken jobs, scholarships and funding away from black people in pursuit of this strange mixture of narcissism and super victimhood.
