OPINION:
Rachel Dolezal’s long-running deception was a bad thing done by a woman who has clearly lost her real identity (“Rachel Dolezal, Spokane NAACP president, steps down amid race backlash,” Web, June 15).
If you are Czech, Swedish, German and Native American, you should be proud of each of those nationalities and ethnicities. However, in Ms. Dolezal’s case she was clearly not proud of them, because she thinks she is black. Unfortunately for Ms. Dolezal, however, lies matter.
Every race and ethnic group is proud of its heritage. Blacks are proud of who they are, whites are proud of who they are, Hispanics are proud of who they are, etc. Ms. Dolezal clearly does not understand self-pride.
