In Defense Of Rachel Dolezal

So she lied. She portrayed herself as being something she’s not, in order to serve a political cause. Is that really so terrible? There are gays who hide their sexual orientation in order to get ahead in the Republican Party. There are nonbelievers who get married in church just to please their parents. It’s even been rumored that some people doctor their own photos on dating sites. Where’s all the outrage about that? Rachel Dolezal obviously has a frayed relationship with her family, and some confusion about who she is. She deluded people about her racial background through acts of commission, not just omission. But is her deception really worth all the indignation and ridicule it has provoked?/ Diana Ohlbaum , The Hill. More here.

Question: Are there any other Dolezal supporters out there?
