Patently Absurd Racial Fear-Mongering

Ms. Dolezal, who is multiracial, said she could not imagine showing her face at a Tea Party event. To her, what stands out are the all-white crowds, the crude depictions of Mr. Obama as an African witch doctor and the signs labeling him a terrorist. "It would make me nervous to be there unless I went with a big group," she said.

Fear f white people? Honestly, how doggone fatuous. Ms. Dolezal lives in IDAHO. According to the US Census, 85.1% of Idaho residents are White (not Hispanic), while 94.6% of the Idaho population is White (including Hispanic). Ms. Dolezal is around white people ALL THE TIME. If Ms. Dolezal is afraid of white people, she might want to move to a more ethnically diverse state.
