BET SHE WISHES SHE HADN’T SAID THATÂ
Rachel Dolezal, the embattled former head of Spokane’s chapter of the NAACP, has been saying a lot of pretty controversial things lately. Dolezal who stepped down from her post after her parents revealed that she is actually white — not black as she has long claimed — now says she “identifies” as black. In other words she is attempting to open the door to a world that accepts the concept of trans-racial. This, of course, has fired up a stupid debate amongst the talking heads of television, an intellectually challenged demographic to be sure, who are now trying to equate the reality of transgender to the newly and conveniently minted trans-racial concept.
As a point of observation, Dolezal’s attempt to explain away her past lies and deceitful behavior under the guise of being trans-racial is doing more to set back the important cause of the transgender community than anything else of late.
So as a final bit of irony, it was recently reported that Dolezal had called for a boycott of the movie Exodus: Gods and Kings because the film had the audacity to use white actors to portray black characters.
We could be wrong, but we bet she wishes she hadn’t said that.
Who knows, maybe Hollywood was using trans-racial actors to play black characters. Nah.
STONER CAMPÂ
All-inclusive ranch resorts are a popular vacation destination in Colorado, full of stunning hikes, delicious Western cuisine, invigorating games and now, marijuana cultivation workshops.
Well, at least that’s what guests at the CannaCamp in Durango will get to experience when the new resort opens on July 1 — that and horseshoes and hiking and yoga, but we recommend not getting too blitzed before a game of horseshoes. CannaCamp management is calling the camp the nation’s first cannabis-friendly ranch resort. Yeehaw!
“We’re bringing an element of luxury to that adventurous, exploratory vibe of childhood summer camp — in a beautiful setting where visitors can enjoy marijuana in a safe, comfortable, social environment,” Joel Schneider, head of the management group opening CannaCamp, said in a statement via The Associated Press.
While state law prevents the resort from providing patrons with marijuana, guests are welcome to bring their own smoke and enjoy it on the porch of their cabin — but not inside the cabin, which may not be very different from how many marijuana users currently handle smoking while on their ranch resort vacations. But at CannaCamp, guests can know they are free to puff away legally on the premises. Cabin rental rates start at $395 per person per night, with a three-night minimum.
