Regardless, trying to determine "right" in a morally ill-defined area might as well be asking to draw a 100% accurate map of the political borders of the world in the year 1200.

Pretty much. And even in well-defined areas such as murder, it is still defined very differently in the United States and United Kingdom, for example. Killing a burglar armed with a knife in the U.S. would almost certainly be considered justifiable homicide, so long as the burglar was not surrendering or fleeing. In the UK, it would probably be considered murder regardless, since they don't recognize the same rights to self-defense and defense of property that the US does.

If defining something as important as murder is impossible between two developed, Western nations, than defining right from wrong on a global scale just isn't going to happen.

MY SIDES HAVE TRAVELED BEYOND THE SPEED OF LIGHT, AND SEEN SUCH THINGS THAT YOU AND I WOULD BE INCAPABLE OF DREAMING ABOUT

Some background as to why my sides have left for orbit and I'm dying due to, as a wise man once said, intense tummy rupture. The NAACP is the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. Pretty self explanatory what they do. The President of the NAACP, Rachel Dolezal, has documented that she's been the target of some hate crimes in the past. Things like Swastikas stuck to the side of her building or hate mail being sent.
But then the police started getting suspicious, because they could find no evidence or suspects in regards as to who was threatening her. Most suspicious of all was that the hate mail sent had not been processed.

Postal workers told detectives the envelope had not been canceled, time stamped or imprinted with the bar code that directs mail to the right destination. According to the police report, the postal inspector told detectives, "The only way this letter could have ended up in this P.O. box would be if it was placed there by someone with a key to that box or a USPS employee."

Now, that's not hilarious. That's not even funny. Where it gets funny is that after this story came to light, her parents made an amazing allegation.

Spoiler: In America you can reinvent yourself, but this is just impressive (click to show/hide)

They've said this whole time she's been a white woman pretending to be black.
Here's an interview with her claiming who her father is. Someone is cheating someone here!

[Sheb]

Just going to note that she's only the NAACP's Spokane Chapter President. Also, that's some serious incompetence there: if you want to fake letters, why don't you just post them anyway?

But this is hilarious. :p Although it does make you think about what it means to be black or white, and whether those distinctions even make sense.

[Loud Whispers]

Lel, I'm assuming she must've forgotten. I do agree, this would make for an interesting discussion if my ribcage wasn't collapsing.

How did she fool anyone at all lolololololololol

Spoiler: she didn't even remove evidence of her pre-blackfacing it up (click to show/hide)

IT HAS REACHED INTERNATIONAL NEWS HEADLINES NOW

Dolezal's parents told local media the family's ancestry is Czech, Swedish and German, with some Native American heritage as well. Her parents say her African-American "son" is actually her brother, who was adopted by the family

WAT

Spokane NAACP’s Facebook page has an image of Dolezal with an older black man, whom it describes as her father. The CDA Press, however, names the man as Albert Wilkerson, a volunteer at the Human Rights Education Institute in north Idaho, where Dolezal previously worked.

WAT

Oh gods, it just gets better/worse, she is the crystallized embodiment of privilege checking - she checked it so hard she literally became the first recorded case of someone seriously trying to be transblack outside of tumblr

Spoiler: The resemblance to actual blackface is uncanny (click to show/hide)

From the Montana tepee where she was born in 1977 to empowering the black community in Spokane today, Doležal has lived a life full of experiences “most people normally don’t have to go through.”
According to Doležal, “Jesus Christ” is the witness on her birth certificate.
One of Doležal’s paintings was at a convention center in San Francisco, where her and a trusted mentor went out to dinner together to celebrate the sale. As soon as Doležal looked away, the mentor slipped gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, also called the “date-rape drug,” into her drink.
According to Doležal, her mentor took advantage of her that night. She said suing was nearly impossible due to the amount of wealth the man
“I can never trust anyone to bring me a drink again, you know, because it was a trusted person,” she said.
According to Doležal, her ex-husband was abusive to her and even their son. At two years old, little Franklin would intervene between Doležal and her ex-husbands violence and “he would sometimes get thrown across the room,” she said.
In Idaho, Doležal took on the role as director of the Human Rights Institute, where North Idaho white supremacy groups burglarized every home she and her son lived in. Doležal said she believes the white supremacy groups felt threatened by female power. According to Doležal, they hung nooses in her home, vandalized and stole from her property, directed death threats toward her along with threatening to kidnap Franklin while he was in the second grade.

Doležal said she believes the white supremacy groups felt threatened by female power.

WHAT IS MAN BUT A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS?

I'm experiencing poignant sadness and despair, as opposed to mirth and laughter.

The worst part is that this affair will provide cartloads of ammo for racists and wingnuts everywhere.

Hahahaha, just enjoy the sheer utter madness of it all, and don't worry about racists and their ilk I don't think they even know how to respond to a white woman blackfacing to climb the NAACP ranks, it's utterly unprecedented, I'm feeling more for the African Americans on twitter calling her out for betraying them in less polite terms oh god it's just too bizarre, the dank memes were too strong and now they're becoming real

This was basically inevitable when ideas like race being metaphysical and inner identity being as valuable as reality started getting popular among radical leftists.
