Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone defended former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal on Monday’s “The View.” Both Goldberg and Raven-Symone said during the Hot Topics section of the show that they didn’t see anything wrong with Dolezal pretending to be a black woman.
“If she wants to be black, she can be black,” said Goldberg, adding, “Look, just like people say, ‘I feel like a man, I feel like a woman, I feel like this.’ She wants to be a black woman, fine. Everything that comes with that she is prepared for. Okay.” Raven-Symone noted that “everybody has some type of African blood inside them,” and asked rhetorically, “And what makes a black person, just your skin?” [via Gossip Cop]
