Rachel Dolezal's New Memoire To Discuss The Racism She's Suffered Due to Not Being Black

Well, actually it's about being discriminated for being black, she claims, but see, she's not black, she's just Sideshow Bob with some fake tan spray, so this is all about being a white girl trapped in a body which is also white.

Dolezal announced details of the book on her Instagram account on Monday, saying it will be titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.

An Amazon description description of the book says it will explain "the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identified as black".

The description also claims the book will force readers "to consider race in an entirely new light -- not as a biological imperative, but as a function of the experiences we have, the culture we embrace, and, ultimately, the identity we choose."

Recapping her checkered history with race, The Guardian reminds:

...

She also defended her failed suit against Howard University in 2002, in which she alleged officials had discriminated against her because she was white. Years later she filed racial harassment complaints, alleging that she had received hate mail because she was black.

First she was discriminated because she was white, then she was discriminated against because she was black.

Like many white girls who grow up comfortably, she sure seems to feel the need to create a lot of fake drama to give her life some simulacra of struggle and therefore meaning.

This is one major downside to our (temporary and short-lived) age of comfort and plenty: Not having faced many genuine struggles but sensing, innately, that struggle is part of the experience of life, some people just go a little bit bonkers and begin seeing struggle where none exists.

I would bet a lot of money she's a feminist, too.
