Rachel Dolezal; The Expanses of Truth

Role models have traditionally played an important function in the development of a child; even as adults we model contemporaries we find appealing or influential. The practicing of one’s Faith, for many, is a lifetime of modeling and hopefully into a state of grace that transfigures ones conscience we express throughout the human condition.

Rachel Dolezal’s modeling is something quite different. Hers is a modeling of selective-condition and though, in some ways, it is really no different than the various and synthetic assumptions made by others who express their preferences thru body modification(s), lifestyles and/or sub-culture affiliations. The underlying theme being, it seems, that an unsettled (internal) condition is driving an outward exhibition, the support of which requires a reformation to the boundaries of truth.

What is becoming clear is just how unsettling (or unsettled) the American experience has become and it’s not because the American ideal was/is wrong but more so due critically to the fact that it has been left behind and replaced with the flaccid boundaries of situational relevance. Nowhere is the practice more offensively conspicuous than in our own political theatre where the element of rigid adherence to what are foundational truths (“We hold these truths….”) are now, metaphorically speaking, best defined by the following:

“You can tell them whatever it is you want just be clear, you must never tell them what it is.”

When you have so-called political leaders such as the ever-truthless Clintons, the irreverent opportunisms of an Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson, the infinite-shades of self-righteous Al Gore, the elective-Indian Elizabeth Warren and so on, it explains why the social order of the nation is experiencing a modeling of contempt. Contempt for the truth as it is and the consequential horror of not having the required level of integrity to deal with it.

Rachel Dolezal’s elected to expand her domain of truth based on an assumption of what for her appeared to be the only choice available. The problem is, regardless of the reason, that she ignored the most conspicuous option of all and one that is ever present; the simple truth. We’ve become a culture that accepts this practice as a most common form of modelling and that’s the truth of it.

“I sought the calming waters of my desires; yet ever were the storms to weather thru a challenge; ignorance of choice would not keep my craft above the angry seas.”
