NAACP leader resigns; accused of lying about race
Took the thread title from this CNN article released an hour ago. For those of you who aren't following the story, Rachel Dolezal is a white woman born to white parents, claiming to be black. She also happens to the president of an NAACP chapter in Washington. She hit the news the other day when this interview of her being questioned about her race surfaced. Her parents and adopted brothers (who are black) all confirm that she is lying about her race - one of her brothers said that she told him not to 'blow her cover' at one point. Now, after national outrage, she's had to resign from her NAACP.

Society is, and has been, becoming more tolerant. We're at a stage where we're accepting of people who disagree with their biological sex, and decide to change it (Bruce Jennar). Do you think we will ever be at a stage where we're accepting of people who disagree with their biological race?
