Rachel Dolezal Are American Women Who Claims to Be Black

Rachel Dolezal are American women who claims to be black.

All tree text is concerned, Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal was head of Spokane NAACP, and she called herself incompletely Afro-American, even though her parents claim that she isn’t.

Text 1: “Civil rights activist Rachel Dolezal misrepresented herself as black, claim parents” is written by Jessica Elgot. Jessica informs her readers, how Rachel Dolezal's parents claim her about being Afro-American. Not because they have any hate for Afro-Americans but because their daughter lies about her race and doesn’t accept her real race. Rachel Dolezal has German, Czech and Native American origins and not Afro-American as she claims. After Rachel Dolezal divorced her Afro-American husband, she wanted to be like an Afro-American and started to change her look like an Afro-American.

Text 2: “Why black women feel so betrayed by Rachel Dolezal” is written by Guilaine Kinouani. The writer for the text is a psychologist, and Guilaine writes an opinion article, that criticizes Rachel Dolezal for lying about her origin and race. As a psychologist, the writer believes that Dolezal lies about her race will affect the African people and community negatively and that her civil right activism can’t make up for her lies about her ethnicity.

Text 3: “Let Rachel Dolezal Be as Black as She Wants to Be” is written by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The text Abdul-Jabbar has written is opposite to text 2. He means that the race and ethnicity should make attention, and all of it is a myth. He means that the single person has the right to accept themselves the ethnicity and race they wanted to be. Kareem points out that in his text that Rachel Dolezal has the right to choose which race she wanted to belong to.

How Guilaine Kinouani engages the reader

The writer Guilaine Kinouani engage in with using argumentation. When she argues in the text she uses two different methods. Firstly, she uses open and closed argumentation then she appeals to the arguments through ethos, pathos, and logos. Guilaine Kinouani gets also attention that she wastes her time to help Rachel Dolezal, and she says in the text that; “Would you feel grateful that this professional had spent much of their career working towards a better understanding of the experience of bereaved parents”. That sentence makes the readers get to a bad conscience, when Kinouani, who is a professional psychologist, waste her time on Rachel.

There is a kind of closed argumentation is the beginning of the article in text 2. The arguments are made through a story, probably unrelated to the title and the topic of the text. Although describing a proposed case of a psychologist lying to a client that has been through the same as the client to get the end open.

To supplement the message and engage readers and argue them of the arguments, appeals Kinouani to ethos by letting readers know that she is qualified to comment on Dolezal’s actions, both as a black woman and as a psychologist. Based on all these arguments, Guilaine tries to get the reader to her point of view. Which means that she manipulates with the reader's consciousness.
