Spokane NAACP Members Start Petition to Topple Rachel Dolezal!! Protests to follow!!

I’m not sure what to call these people – trans-racial-phobes?!? Anyway, there’s a petition to get rid of that white chick who pretended to be a black chick in order to become the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. And that’s a big deal!!! Actually, no it’s not, but it’s kinda funny.

From KREM:

Spokane NAACP members organized a petition asking Rachel Dolezal to take a leave of absence.

“This is not about race. This is about integrity,” said Kitara Johnson, a member of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP.

Johnson was also the organizer of the online petition. She said it got 60 signatures in one day as of Saturday evening.

Dolezal’s parents said Thursday that she was born Caucasian, and has been deceiving people into thinking she was African American since 2004. Dolezal is the acting president of Spokane’s NAACP chapter.

AND THERE’S GOING TO BE A TRANS-RACIAL-PHOBE PROTEST ON MONDAY!!!

Sorry for going all caps but this story is too awesome. This is after the NAACP released a statement saying they’d support the fraudulent weirdo. Here’s a video:

OK so here’s the best part of this whole story that wasn’t reported by the local source up there – if you actually go to the petition:

IT’S ONLY NINE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! LOL!!!

Oh I love it. There are so few black people in lily-shiny-white Spokane that a petition of NINE people gets news coverage! How many of these people are trans-black?!?! The public demands to know! I’m a petition of one!!

Ooooh I can’t wait for the protest on Monday!!

UPDATE!

DAMMIT!!! Rachel wussed out and canceled the damn party. I guess she was afraid of the protesters so SHE postponed the meeting. And now the other members of the board are questioning whether she has the power to do that.

I love this story.

UPDATE!!

RACHEL DOLEZAL HAS STEPPED DOWN FROM THE NAACP PRESIDENTIAL POSITION!!!

Her statement:

‘It is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice and the NAACP that I step aside from the Presidency and pass the baton to my Vice President, Naima Quarles-Burnley.

‘It is my hope that by securing a beautiful office for the organization in the heart of downtown, bringing the local branch into financial compliance, catalyzing committees to do strategic work in the five Game Changer issues, launching community forums, putting the membership on a fast climb, and helping many individuals find the legal, financial and practical support needed to fight race-based discrimination, I have positioned the Spokane NAACP to buttress this transition.’
