As former Spokane NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal remains at the center of controversy, many people are speaking out in her defense. Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently penned an op-ed piece about Dolezal’s situation, titled “Let Rachel Dolezal Be as Black as She Wants to Be,” in which he said we should not condemn her for identifying as Black, and that the African-American community is better off because of her efforts. “Whatever the reason, she has been fighting the fight for several years and seemingly doing a first-rate job. Not only has she led her local chapter of the NAACP, she teaches classes related to African-American culture at Eastern Washington University and is chairwoman of a police oversight committee monitoring fairness in police activities,” he wrote. Abdul-Jabbar isn’t the only celebrity to support Dolezal; Melissa Harris-Perry said on her show that Rachel could be “trans-Black,” which means identifying with a race that she wasn’t born into.
