It seems that she also wanted go be in the spotlight: in a starring role, not just part of tblue37 Jun 2015 #173
IMHO, it would have been better if she said she empathizes with black folks and left it at that. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #26
And the false claims of hate crimes cwydro Jun 2015 #2
She made hate crime allegations pretty regularly over recent years. LisaL Jun 2015 #6
She's a nutcase. cwydro Jun 2015 #8
maybe you could consider rephrasing that, please? KittyWampus Jun 2015 #45
I Think "unproven" would be more accurate marshall Jun 2015 #68
I think what she is berated for are all the stories. LisaL Jun 2015 #4
Who did she hurt... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #5
Well, you can't disown somebody else's parents. LisaL Jun 2015 #7
What have they done to her, other than admit they're her parents? n/t tammywammy Jun 2015 #9
Exactly. LisaL Jun 2015 #10
I think they're leading the charge... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #11
In their defense, they are not the ones who started it. LisaL Jun 2015 #14
It's hard to say... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #16
Well as her parents they didn't owe anyone any explanation. politicaljunkie41910 Jun 2015 #44

The media... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #17
Shift what focus away from themselves? GGJohn Jun 2015 #18
The focus of the lawsuit. TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #19
How do we know the lawsuit is truthful? GGJohn Jun 2015 #20
I guess that remains to be seen... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #21
They did not tear 840high Jun 2015 #144
Is there a law that one has to speak to the media when contacted by them? kcr Jun 2015 #81
I think if I was lying about who my father is, my parents would certainly set the record straight tammywammy Jun 2015 #82
Nope. I might contact my child and tell them to knock it off. kcr Jun 2015 #84
I agree laundry_queen Jun 2015 #210
I do agree with you about that gollygee Jun 2015 #216
And lying about having to hunt her own food with a bow and arrow, GGJohn Jun 2015 #86
Wow, those sure had to be set straight! Boy, better make sure to talk to the media! kcr Jun 2015 #88
I have to agree that it sounds like there is serious dysfunction there gollygee Jun 2015 #90
Whatever was going on honestly I feel is nobody's business kcr Jun 2015 #92
I doubt the NAACP is ok with this, GGJohn Jun 2015 #93
NAACP's response kcr Jun 2015 #96
I know what their press release said, GGJohn Jun 2015 #99
What do you think possibly changed in two days? kcr Jun 2015 #101
Well, let's see, GGJohn Jun 2015 #107
It would be nice if you linked to some of the things you're claiming n/t kcr Jun 2015 #115

Note in the link that the NAACP states they're supporting her n/t kcr Jun 2015 #123
Fair enough. GGJohn Jun 2015 #121

We'll see, GGJohn Jun 2015 #125
Well won't you just be thrilled, then! kcr Jun 2015 #129
Maybe, just maybe she wouldn't be in this mess if she wasn't a serial liar. GGJohn Jun 2015 #130
So, I was right GGJohn Jun 2015 #175
Yay, you. n/t kcr Jun 2015 #177

Wow!! Way to interpret a post, there! kcr Jun 2015 #97
You said there was something wrong with the parents, yet you didn't say squat GGJohn Jun 2015 #100
Yes. I think there is something wrong with parents who would go to the media kcr Jun 2015 #102
They didn't go to the media, GGJohn Jun 2015 #103
It doesn't matter. They talked. kcr Jun 2015 #104
So what? They did not lie. She did. 840high Jun 2015 #151
There's just no possiblity that they're lying? That just can't be the case? kcr Jun 2015 #154
They told media they are her bio parents. Which they are. LisaL Jun 2015 #181
I'm more than suggesting that they didn't have to take their issues public. kcr Jun 2015 #184
You're absolutely correct... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #186
Just amazing!!! GGJohn Jun 2015 #187
Yes!! kcr Jun 2015 #188
So, Rachael has no responsibility for the mess she's in? GGJohn Jun 2015 #191
Yes, it's all her parent's fault kcr Jun 2015 #192
Why would they? GGJohn Jun 2015 #195
I'm saying she wouldn't be splashed all over the media if it weren't for her parents. kcr Jun 2015 #200
And I'm saying that if not for her lying about her life experiences, GGJohn Jun 2015 #202
I think her parents... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #190
And you know all this how? GGJohn Jun 2015 #193
It's pure speculation… TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #203
Do you think there would be this media circus if she hadn't been telling GGJohn Jun 2015 #205
She made her own bed... TeeYiYi Jun 2015 #207
There is no law that says you can't talk to the media either. LisaL Jun 2015 #182
Huh? kcr Jun 2015 #185
So would mine. 840high Jun 2015 #146
Her parents didn't lie about her being whipped like a slave. dballance Jun 2015 #85
And what have they done to her that was so despicable? GGJohn Jun 2015 #12
You would disown your parents if said you were white? Travis_0004 Jun 2015 #22
Telling the truth is such a horrible thing tymorial Jun 2015 #56

What about the 25% of 'white' american's who ancestors Exultant Democracy Jun 2015 #28
If they have always identified as black, and their parents have always identified, sure. bravenak Jun 2015 #29
Are you saying if your ancestors passed into whiteness its a one way trip? Exultant Democracy Jun 2015 #30
If they passed into whiteness as they left the plantation, their descendants are white. bravenak Jun 2015 #31

I saw that. No big surprise there. bravenak Jun 2015 #62
I don't know what to put this reply tammywammy Jun 2015 #89
Aww, thanks! I try... bravenak Jun 2015 #95
I wouldn't have thought people would be so vigorously defending a known liar. tammywammy Jun 2015 #112
Exactly. She could have done just as well as herself. bravenak Jun 2015 #116
I don't think it was her decision to postpone... Spazito Jun 2015 #64
They're probably negotiating the terms of her resignation. eom GGJohn Jun 2015 #65
Quite possibly n/t Spazito Jun 2015 #66

She claimed to receive harassing letters in the NAACP mailbox tammywammy Jun 2015 #122
Yes. It was PO workers so of course they'd say it was unlikely kcr Jun 2015 #127
Since we know she's a liar, is more likely than not that she's lying here too. tammywammy Jun 2015 #128

Those are are the alleged lies themselves. They didn't just spring forth from the ground, did they? kcr Jun 2015 #149
Whether any of the claims she made were true doesn't matter anymore. countryjake Jun 2015 #133
Okay. Why are you arguing with me why it matters if they're true? kcr Jun 2015 #136
Come again? countryjake Jun 2015 #139
Who is calling it into question? n/t kcr Jun 2015 #142

She lIed about abuse and attacks JI7 Jun 2015 #33
I believe she has done more than "pass." She has FABRICATED. She has not one scintilla of Black DNA. WinkyDink Jun 2015 #36
Nobody is denying her work, her passion, her goals. But the "Out of Africa" bit is a tad OTT. Plus, WinkyDink Jun 2015 #40
