DOLEZAL: Can't have it both ways

Poor Rachel Dolezal. If it’s now apparently socially acceptable to identify outside your born gender, then why not ethnicity? Such racism and hatred by the NAACP and the left who are now out to crucify her! Such intolerance! And now she’s being investigated for ethics violations.

Are the NAACP and those so-called tolerance-minded folks on the left so bent out of shape because she lied on an application or because she shed the “white privilege” label they pasted on her? It’s clearly the latter. I can hear them screaming, “It’s unethical to claim you are someone you’re not! Changing your appearance to look black doesn’t make you black!”

Oh really? This argument doesn’t apply to the man formerly known as Bruce Jenner? They can’t have it both ways and it borders on schizophrenia. When true ethics based on God’s standards are rejected by society, it allows societal confusion and delusions such as this. It’s time to repent and restore His solid standards before we sink further into confusion and depravity.
