I’m ashamed of myself... I’m black and don’t have not one African map at my place. I need to step my black up... 🤦🏾‍♂️

[RickRudesMustache]

She really had to do the interview in front of a map of Africa? That girl is going all in lol

[davidmalebranche]

Her primary identity is not Black or White… It’s Narcissist.

[dylanmurphy]

The picture of her serving dinner for kids is FRIED CHICKEN hahhahahahhaha

[ellls]

People were also upset because she was faking hate crimes against herself. She also got a black man to play her father. It wasn't just her identifying as a black woman. The issue is more of a lack of integrity.

Rachael is NOT going back to her factory settings, EVER.

[lalruatpuiikhiangte]

She seems genuinely connected to African culture and her work reflects it. I just wish she realised that she can love that culture, do good work for the community, raise black children while still being a white woman. I hope one day she realises that it’s OK to be white because that part of her won’t change no matter what.

I'm confused, just say you are white and enjoy black culture, everyone else does.

[msve]

Its like she's in a movie role that ended years ago and she never got out of character..

[matthewsoto]

She braids hair for a living now dang………. Still living the dream

[BeADad]

She is a single mom with 3 black kids, no job, ? Well debate is over! Welcome to the family!

[allahuackbar]

She looks like a girl who came back from a Bahamas trip 😂🤣

[Tker]

I identify as a millionaire. I have everything but the million.

[healthreformers]

The Same Would Apply to Transgenders. But Black folks have NO Problem accepting them identifying as someone they are Not. But Yall BIG Mad at Rachel who has done more for Black people than any Transgender. Thats what's Messed UP!!

[karlscher]

Seriously, being fascinated by a certain culture and wanting to be part of it is not wrong at all. But hating yourself or the culture you were born into mostly points to some deeper psychological problems.

[janayaelyse]

She’s sitting here with box braids, a big map of africa, and saying, “Racially, I’ve always identified as human” 😂😂 this shit never gets old

[Marcus-cmdi]

Nobody:

White girls after a Cruise to the Bahamas:

[noelleninja]

When u cant admit you've done something wrong to a community and you try to justify it

[matthewsoto]

This is hilarious, the lady loved black culture so much she wanted to be black. Then she got black balled by the black community

[SaxandRelax]

I’m really glad she’s so into black cultures, as a black person it’s somewhat flattering. But on the other hand, she needs to realize it’s OKAY the be a white person with an interest in black culture. You can do all the hair stuff, learn a language, the history, get the decorations… but it’s okay to say you’re white.
