Genuine puzzle
Usually I can spot the underlying consistency in these Satanic "contradictions". This one stumps me entirely.
(1) Dolezal dresses up as black. Uses the costume to gain plenty of money and prestige, and to waste police time and cast suspicion on plenty of innocent people, including her own adopted brother, for MORE THAN 5 YEARS. Causes tremendous damage. Destroys many lives. No punishment at all; instead she is treated as a hero.
(2) Three British teenagers dress up as black for ONE HOUR, for a COSTUME PARTY. Absolutely no harm done; nobody falsely accused, no police time wasted. NATIONWIDE MANHUNT! MUST CAPTURE AND DESTROY! KILL! KILL! KILL! DEFCON 9999999999999999999999! TERROR STATE RED WITH LAVENDER STRIPES!
I understand (2) as a typical excrescence of modern infinite x infinite x infinite insanity. I still don't understand why the organizations who employed Dolezal enjoyed having a publicly known faker as their CEO.
Most likely explanation: Blackmail is more powerful than blackface. Still seems like a long stretch, though.
