Rachel Dolezal, the “trans-racial” NAACP activist, was supposed to “address” the controversy surrounding her on Monday.

“As you probably know by now, there are questions and assumptions swirling in national and global news about my family, my race, my credibility, and the NAACP,” Dolezal’s message said. “I have discussed the situation, including personal matters, with the Executive Committee.
“I support their decision to wait until Monday to make a statement. The Executive team asked that I also release my response statement at the same time, which will be during the 7-9 p.m. monthly membership meeting.”
But now it seems that the meeting has been cancelled.

@TheRoot The only statement I want to hear from her is that she knows she's not black & she's going somewhere to sit down & shut up.
