Bruce Jenner's debut as "Caitlyn" swept the headlines earlier this year, and the former Olympian received an outpouring of support from around the globe, which is what Charlamagne Tha God believes should have happened to Rachel Dolezal.
The outspoken radio host questions the big difference between former Spokane NAACP president Dolezal, who was accused of lying to pass herself off as Black, and Jenner, who is now a transgender woman. Charlamagne added, "Don't transgenders lie for the most part, because it's hard for them to come out, because they feel that they'll be judged and ridiculed? Maybe [Rachel Dolezal] felt the same way."
After explaining that he likes calling out people on their "hypocrisy and bullshit," Charlamagne said that he's not taking sides with Caitlyn or Rachel, but he thinks that acceptance shouldn't be on a case-by-case basis.

ESPN The Magazine has rolled out it's annual Body Issue, which features many of your favorite athletes in the nude with strategically placed items covering their private parts.
We'll start by concentrating on the women featured.
Ali Krieger "Everyone makes fun of my calves. They are so big. I don't really even like them, I don't really want them as big as they are, but I have no choice. In college, girls would come up to me: 'I want your calves.' It just makes me laugh. I guess people pay a lot of money to have the types of bodies athletes have," the 30-year-old USWNT defender joked. (Check out our interview with Krieger to find out what she eats to fuel her body.)
Paige Selenski "It's not like I woke up one day and I had a really athletic body and ripped-up abs. I was lucky that I was naturally gifted with an athletic body, but I also put a lot of work into it. I don't stay home and do abs all day long; it just comes with running and all the things I do to stay in shape," the 25-year-old field hockey player said. "I use my body every day for my job. We constantly put our bodies through pain. I'm not afraid to show that off."
Sadena Parks "I have a butt that is larger than I want it to be. I know it gives me power in my swing, but everybody is like 'You've got a nice butt!' I'm like 'Well, thank you, but you can have it if you want it. I'll give it to you, it's all yours,'" the 25-year-old LPGA-golfer shared.
Aly Raisman "I think imperfection is beauty. Instead of being insecure about my muscles, I've learned to love them. I don't even think of it as a flaw anymore because it's made me into the athlete that I am," said the 21-year-old Olympic gymnast.
Natalie Coughlin "I'm self-conscious about my arms. It's really hard to find a dress that's a size 10 in the lats but a size 4 in the waist. But I want to be as successful as I can; if that means having big arms, I'll take big arms," the 32-year-old Olympic swimmer said.
Brittney Griner "I'd describe myself as athletically lanky. I want to show people that. I'm comfortable in my body and I don't mind putting it on display. Honestly, I like how unique it is. My big arms, my bigger hands, these long legs—I love being different. If everybody was the same, it'd be a boring-ass world," said the 24-year-old two-time WNBA All-Star.
Amanda Bingson "Dense would be the right word for me. Generally when you look at athletes, you see their muscles and all that stuff; I don't have any of that. My arm is just my arm—it's not cut, it's not sculpted. I don't have traps bulging out to my ears; I have a neck. I don't have a six-pack. My legs are a little toned, but they aren't bulging out. I'm just dense," the 25-year-old USA Track & Field hammer thrower said. "I think it's important to show that athletes come in all shapes and sizes."
Leticia Bufoni "I never lift weights. I don't want to get big. If you want to skate well and be fast you can't be big, you know? I use more of my body weight [when I train]," the 22-year-old skateboarder said.
Gabrielle Reece: "In college, I was modeling in New York, and I worked with the most beautiful women in the world. They were so beautiful you could barely look at them," the 45-year-old professional beach volleyball player (who posed with husband and big wave surfer, Laird Hamilton) shared. "And then I would go back to my team at Florida State, and we were all trying to get as big as we could because we wanted to be as strong as possible. And they seemed more confident and happier. I thought, being perfectly beautiful—or what's defined by the standards of the world as beautiful—doesn't actually make you happier."

"My back muscles are beautiful! Archery has helped sculpt my upper body. I'm in great shape and really happy about that, very satisfied. I put up slow-motion videos that focus on my back and on my shoulders, and when I watch them I think, 'Damn, I look good!'" said the 41-year-old archer.
Dallas Friday "I was built like a little powerhouse. When I was transferring from gymnastics to wakeboarding, I was a little self-conscious. There's not a huge difference going from a leotard to a bathing suit, but you'd see these beautiful girls in bikinis, and I'm only 13 or 14 years old with this buff little body," the 28-year-old wakeboarder shared. "I grew into being really proud of it, knowing that that's what has enabled me to do what I do."
Chantae McMillan "I don't look in the mirror and think 'slim'; I look in the mirror and I'm like, 'Whoa, beast!' It's just crazy how much the body changes. Looking in the mirror, I get surprised like every other week. It's like I'm Wonder Woman," said the 27-year-old Olympic heptathlete.
2-Year old Sire Jackson is very close to his dad 50 Cent, who celebrated his birthday on July 6. His son wanted to send 50 a happy birthday video, but first he shed a few tears because he missed his father.

"Oh my God,I been running around turning up, and now the little boss is missing me," 50 wrote.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby's first accuser has asked a judge to release the comedian's full deposition in her sex-assault lawsuit, saying Cosby, his lawyers and agents broke the confidentiality agreement that sealed the 2006 court settlement.
Andrea Constand's lawyer argued in a sanctions motion Wednesday that the entire deposition should be made public, including questions Cosby answered under oath about his use of quaaludes and other drugs, his alleged use of hush money to silence women, his deal to have an accuser's story spiked and his alleged affairs with other women.
Andrea Constand
Her lawyer said Cosby and his representatives broke the confidentiality agreement with public comments made over the years and again this week, but Constand has been powerless to respond.
"The release of these documents will assist other women who have been victimized and bring awareness to the fact that sexual assault is not just committed with a gun or knife but is also committed by mentors who engage in exploitative behaviors," lawyer Dolores M. Troiani wrote in asking the judge to sanction Cosby and his lawyers.
Lawyers for Cosby, 77, did not immediately return calls for comment.
The motion comes after U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno unsealed excerpts from Cosby's deposition this week in response to an Associated Press request, concluding that the public had a right to see "the stark contrast" between Cosby the public moralist and the statements he made under oath about his lifestyle and conduct.
The excerpts show Cosby admitting that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s so that he could give them to young women he pursued for extramarital sex. Asked if they knew what they were taking, his lawyers objected and he never answered.
Frustrated by their attempts to dodge questions, Troiani went to court then to force Cosby and his lawyers to cooperate in the pre-trial deposition. She asked that Robreno force the comedian to answer 50 questions about his lifestyle, drug use and sexual encounters with 13 other "Jane Doe" women who had come forward to say Cosby had molested and perhaps drugged them years earlier.
The deposition eventually proceeded. And Troiani now wants his answers to those questions made public.
"Although some of the women engaged in consensual relations with Cosby, their accounts substantiated defendant's alleged predilection for somnophilia," Troiani wrote in her motion Wednesday, referring to a term used to describe someone aroused by having sex with an unconscious person.
Cosby settled the case after his deposition for an unknown sum. Both sides agreed to keep the terms confidential and not comment on what did or didn't happen between them.
His lawyers have not returned messages seeking comment since the release of the deposition excerpts, which they had fought. However, ABC reported that an unidentified Cosby associate, in a statement this week, said Cosby settled the suit to save accusers the embarrassment of testifying in open court. Cosby's representatives have since said the statement didn't come from anyone in the comedian's camp.
Troiani, in her motion, pointed to that statement in support of her motion.
She also said that because the unsealed material does not include Cosby's full answers, supporters could argue that the "seminal question of his admission to administering Quaaludes to sex partners was taken out of context."
She said making public the entire deposition and written settlement would let people decide if that's the case.
Cosby's statements might also be of interest to women now suing him for sexual assault and defamation, she said.
"They have a right to determine what if anything can be used as evidence in their respective cases," said Troiani, who sought permission this week from the Jane Doe witnesses to have Cosby's testimony unsealed.
Cosby has never been charged with a crime and has repeatedly denied the allegations. Most of the sexual misconduct accusations that more than a dozen women have made against him happened too long ago for criminal charges.
The AP generally doesn't name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to have their names published, as Constand has done.

Adrien Broner a.k.a. About Billions might have to ante up some cash to a woman he publicly shamed in a 2014 video.
In the clip Adrien describes the first time he caught crabs from a woman named "NeNe." While his friends laugh hysterically, AB talks about realizing he had the STD, getting cured, then deciding to go back for a second time for sex with the same woman because "the action was so good."
"When I got home [from training camp] the act was so good that I went back," Adrien says. "The action was so good that I didn't believe that she gave it to me. So, I said in my head, 'I'm going to go see for myself when she just gave it to me.' I went back. And for damn sure I went back to camp, and I had it again. I wouldn't Facebook poke this bitch."
TMZ Sports reports that the woman has sued AB in an Ohio court claiming she's never had crabs. And as a result of the video she's been "ridiculed, harassed and embarrassed ever since."
She's asking the court to award her a boatload of money for emotional stress.
