Trailer of Netflix Documentary on Rachel Dolezal (White Woman Identifying as "Trans-Black")
- Thread starter Koozek
- Start date
Just told my mom to cancel her Netflix 4k sub. Can't believe Netflix paid this piece of racist trash.
I agree, but the guy didn't need a warning for being ignorant and instead just being open to it
The epitome of white privilege: appropriate a different race and "fascinate" everyone, you even get a Netflix documentary made about you!
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
Don't get this. Gender is also a social construct. That's basically what's behind the whole feminist movement. If gender is inherent then traditional gender roles are "right" and you're saying there's something wrong with masculine women or feminine men.
You're born with a sex. Society constructs your gender.
Frankly as long as she's not hurting anyone I couldn't care less how this woman lives her life.
I mean I think this is a bit ridiculous but I can't deny that in those pictures in the OP, she looks better in her 'black' state.
Gender does not equal gender roles.... Gendier identity does not mean gender roles.
Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer
Gender identity is not chosen or the result of socialization and upbringing
Also she's hurt a lot of people, she faked hate crimes, talked shit to other minorities and excluded one hispanic (I believe) student from talking about her experiences because she didn't look hispanic enough
She spoke out against black men dating white women...
She spreads nonsense about transgender folk to defend herself: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...dity-accepted-transracial-naacp-a7653131.html
Thats pretty much all that needs to be said.
Im pretty sure theres a comedy skit about a black guy who identifies as a white woman or something.
If this wasnt real life id think this is one of those mockumentary movies.
User Banned (Permanent): Transphobia, previous bans for similar behavior.
I think this trans race has to be acceptable.
All anyone here keeps telling me is sex and race are just social constructs, soooo
If one is able to identify as a sex other than what they were born as, who are we to say that they don't feel they are a different race.

I fucking LOL'd.
Dolezal is trash. Can't imagine why anyone would want to watch a show about her.
I'm torn on this.
I don't want to support that woman in any way, but at the same time that video in OP shows her son speaking, and it seems like her own son is tired of her bullshit.
So depending on the angle the documentary takes, it might be worth a watch idk.
Leaning on passing on this tho.

Damn
Listening to her son talk has me so bummed out. He sounds so defeated and sad, he definitely sounds drained which is what he said has been happening to him since this all became public. I can't imagine going through something like this.

As a black man the fact this woman is getting any traction is a fucking insult to me and black people everyone. I'm honestly disgusted.
In the grand scheme of things I suppose this isn't that big a deal.
But lord does it piss me off.
But lord does it piss me off.
To compare the issues with Dolezal with trans issues is insulting and ignorant
I kind of want to watch this. But I really don't want to support what she's doing. She's making money off this crap which is pretty fucked.
Y'all know they are gonna make her "sympathetic" while playing sad music and going "gosh isn't this sad how this woman has been treated".
If they spend the entire documentary insulting her I still would be pissed that they even give her money and attention but then at least I could understand it.

How is this even a question? Of course she got paid.
lol, it reminds me of a scene from Peep Show where the guy's ex left him for a black businessman
"Is it because he's black? Well, you're making a mistake, Suze, because he's terrible at being black. I'm a better black man than he is. Being black isn't about the colour of your skin, it's about vibe, about hanging out, kicking back, smoking a number, fighting prejudice and negative stereotypes wherever you find them, yeah? I'm down with all that, is Johnson? I mean, what's Johnson done for black people lately?"
"You mean, apart from his mentoring and his community work?"
"Yeah, apart from that."
It just feels gross that her son is clearly just begging "please god just get these cameras to go away so I can have a normal life" and netflix still greenlights this.
I had never heard of her, but I just read her Wikipedia and she sounds like a very disturbed person. She has to know she is lying, right?
I know Slayven already responded, but he didn't go into it much, so it really is as simple as this:
Trans people's identities are rooted in biology. Researchers have found trans people have "male" or "female" brains that do not match their biological sex.
Trans race is not rooted in biology. It's a fantasy identity, like all others that are not rooted in biology. You don't need to empathize with something that doesnt have legitimacy. That's why it's insulting to people with legitimate, biological identities, who are struggling to have even those legitimate identities acknowledged as real.
No, Netflix says that she didn't receive any payment for it, like all other subjects for their documentaries...

I understand why folks are pissed about it, I think the whole thing is insane with her also, but I do think some good could come out of it. I predict that in the end the documentary is going to cement her as the crazy person she is and it's going to instead focus more on her sons and their frustration with the entire thing. I think it will be more about them than her. We shall see.
Hold up. People were throwing a fit about her getting paid, but didn't actually know if she was getting paid?
