Last Monday (June 1), Caitlyn Jenner who formerly lived her life as Bruce, made her celebrated debut on the cover of Vogue magazine, and since then everyone from Snoop Dogg to President Obama have shared their thoughts on her brave transition. Although Charlamagne Tha God previously spoke about her transition on his Brilliant Idiots podcast, it was today's early morning Twitter disucssion that has caused him widespread backlash.
The initial tweet which sparked the heated debate was, "If Bruce Jenner can be a woman Rachel Dolezal can be black. #America," after which the always candid radio personality added, "So how can Bruce Jenner identify with what he wants to identify with but Rachel Dolezal can't? I'm confused about this...," and eventually Tha God included the post, "Last week with Caitlyn we were accepting "New Norms" now here comes Rachel Dolezal and yall not accepting her. 😂😂 Hypocrisy is Hilarious."
In a previous interview with us Charlamagne also presented this idea of hypocrisy to DJ Vlad, saying Bruce identifying as a woman "is almost like appropriation in a way." And went on to proclaim that if Iggy Azalea stated she felt like a Black woman her whole life, people would have a fit.
