NAACP activist Rachel Dolezal is under fire after her parents claimed this week that she has long misrepresented herself as black.

Dolezal, 37, has been a key player in the Washington state and Idaho civil rights communities, and currently serves as president of the Spokane, Wash. chapter of the NAACP, where she was credited with reinvigorating the organization. She also chairs the city’s Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, teaches part-time in the Africana Studies Program at Eastern Washington University, and previously served as the education director for the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

But as her parents spoke out about what they said was a years-long deception—telling The Spokeman-Review that Dolezal is white, but had been pretending to be black for years—other details about Dolezal’s past emerged, raising questions about everything from a scholarship she received to her current role on the Spokane commission. Repeated attempts to reach Dolezal were unsuccessful on Friday.

Here’s everything we know so far about Rachel Dolezal:

Dolezal’s parents say she is not black

Ruthanne and Lawrence Dolezal, who live in northwest Montana, told a Spokane newspaper this week that Rachel began to “disguise herself” as a black woman in 2006 or 2007, but that she is of Czech, Swedish and German descent, with “faint traces” of Native American heritage. Dolezal subsequently said in an interview with the Coeur d’Alene Press that she was African-American, adding, “They can DNA test me if they want to,” and, “I would caution you on all of this. This is ridiculous.” Dolezal’s parents provided what they say is her birth certificate to the Washington Post soon after—it lists Rachel Dolezal as their biological offspring. They have also released photos of a girl they say is a young Dolezal, showing her with pale skin, freckles and straight, blonde hair.

Dolezal has adopted black siblings

When Dolezal was a teenager, her parents adopted four young children, at least two of whom are reportedly black. Ruthanne Dolezal says that the adoption fueled Dolezal’s interest in “being involved with people of color.”

Dolezal has previously identified her youngest adopted brother, 21-year-old Izaiah, as her “oldest son” on social media. She recently clarified to the Coeur d’Alene Press: “He used to be my brother, but I have full custody of him now.” Ruthanne Dolezal said that Rachel obtained custody of Izaiah by alleging abuse in her parents’ household—at which point her parents and two of her adopted brothers ceased contact with her.



These adopted brothers, Zach and Ezra Dolezal, also confirmed to the Washington Post that Rachel is white. Ezra, 22, who identifies as “25 percent black,” likened his sister’s claims of African-American heritage to blackface.

Dolezal received a full scholarship to a historically black university

Dolezal received her bachelor’s degree from Bellhaven University, a private Christian liberal arts university in Jackson, Miss. where her father told the Washington Post she was heavily involved in Voice of Calgary, a “racial reconciliation community development project where blacks and whites lived together.” She then went on to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at Howard University, a top-ranking historically black university in Washington, D.C., where Dolezal developed a particular interest in African-American portraiture. Her father told the Post that the university “took her for a black woman” in issuing her a full scholarship.

Dolezal has made numerous reports of hate crimes

The Spokane police released files this week on reports of hate mail that Dolezal reported earlier this year, including a package Dolezal received in late February that had neither a stamp nor a barcode on it, suggesting that it had been put there by someone with a key to the post office box. Dolezal was given a key when she became NAACP president, but when asked about the possibility that she had planted the package by the The Spokeman-Review, she responded strongly. “That’s such bulls—,” she said.

The hate mail inspired Spokane community members to hold a rally in support of Dolezal in March, according to reports.

Dolezal is accused of misrepresenting her race on an application

The city of Spokane is looking into whether Dolezal was dishonest about her race when applying to the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, which she now chairs. Dolezal said she listed her ethnicity as white, American Indian and black on the application. Spokane’s Mayor, David Condon, says that the City Council is looking into whether any city policies have been violated.

This is how Dolezal is responding to questions about her race

In response to those who are asking about her race in the wake of her parents’ statement, Dolezal has said the question is “not as easy as it seems,” and that “there’s a lot of complexities” to the “multi-layered issue.”

Perhaps her most decisive statement on her background is: “We’re all from the African continent.”

The media is very insistent that she is not like Jenner. They can't explain why exactly, but they're definitely 100% sure that you need to think that Jenner is a woman and definitely 100% that you need to think that Rachel is white.

Everybody knows that they're pushing a very specific agenda very hard, and it's really beginning to bug a lot of people, and that's what's driving a lot of the comedy here. Really, only a tiny segment is JW/RW - they typically insult, issue commands and will tell you, if it's their facebook post, which opinions are acceptable - that's the media, and some people who have way too much to say about the brain chemistry of transsexuals.

Yeah, that's the funniest part to me. "Gender isn't sexual orientation." So you have a gender identity. You have a sexual orientation identity. Jenner said in interviews he's not gay, "I love women." In other words, he says his soul is female but he still wants to make love to women with his penis.

But your racial identity is God given. Heresy to try to betray that. :rolleyes:

MJ had a skin disease:

VITILIGO EXPLAINED
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder that causes a loss of pigment on sections of the skin. This de-pigmentation is not uniform, but manifests itself in blotches and patches on the body, particularly around the face and hands. It occurs when melanocytes — the cells responsible for skin pigment — die or cease functioning. The condition is not specific to those of African descent, but is simply more visible as a result of their darker pigment. Michael Jackson inherited the skin condition from his father’s side of the family. “We saw it coming on him at an early age,” said Joe Jackson. “You know, just a little spot. My aunt had the same thing.”

JACKSON'S SKIN FADES
Jackson, whose album “Thriller” has sold over 70 million copies, first learned he had the vitiligo skin disease back in 1986, barely four years after the release of the album. At this point, with the disorder in its infancy, Jackson's make-up artist Karen Faye used brown make-up to conceal what were then only small bleached patches. At the same time he began to cover up his skin for public appearances, wearing long sleeves and adopting his trademark gloves to hide patches on his hands and wrists. But over time the vitiligo became more aggressive, increasingly covering larger areas of his body, particularly his chest, abdomen, face and arms. “Michael is now almost completely devoid of colour,” confirmed Faye at the time. He was forced to take a drastic decision that would have deep racial overtones — to even out his skin tone to white — an easier task than wearing brown make-up all over his body, which would have been harder to apply in an even tone. “Instead of having it spotted like a cow or something like that he just decided to just do the whole thing,” said his mother Katherine.

I didn't know being "black" was a requirement to work for the NAACP. Seems that anyone regardless of color (or sexual orientation for that matter) should be "allowed" to work there if they do the job well in regards to what the NAACP wishes to accomplish. For fucks sake were in the 21st century, who gives a shit.

I don't really believe her story about her parents. She makes them out to be wicked, and hateful but then throws in later that they adopted 4 black foreign born babies. They seemed pretty normal when interviewed back when this all came out but I guess it is odd to throw your own daughter under the bus like that in the media even if you don't approve of her new identity.

Rachel Dolezal accused of welfare fraud after race scandal

http://www.breitbart.com/news/rachel-dolezal-accused-of-welfare-fraud-after-race-scandal/

24 May 2018663

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A former NAACP leader in Washington state whose life unraveled after she was exposed as a white woman pretending to be black has been charged with welfare fraud.

Rachel Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, was charged this week with theft by welfare fraud, perjury and false verification for public assistance, Spokane news station KHQ-TV reported Thursday.

She illegally received $8,747 in food assistance and $100 in child care assistance from August 2015 through November 2017, court documents said.

An investigation started in March 2017 when a Washington state investigator received information that Diallo had written a book. The investigator reviewed Diallo’s records and found that she had been reporting her income as usually less than $500 per month, court documents said.

A subpoena for her self-employment records, which included copies of her bank statements, showed Diallo had deposited nearly $84,000 into her bank account between August 2015 and September 2017, without reporting the majority of it to the Department of Social and Health Services.

The money came from authoring her memoir, “In Full Color,” speaking engagements, soap making, doll making, and the sale of her art, according to the case file.

Diallo did report a “change of circumstance” to the state agency, saying she did a one-time job in October 2017 worth $20,000, court documents said.

The former civil rights activist told investigators she “fully disclosed her information” and declined to answer further questions, the documents said.

She has said previously that she grew up near Troy, Montana, with religious parents and that she began to change her perspective as a teenager, after her parents adopted four black children. She decided to become publicly black years later, after a divorce.

The ruse worked for years until 2015, when her parents, with whom she has long feuded, told reporters that their daughter was white but was presenting herself as a black activist in the Spokane region.

The story became an international sensation, and she was fired as head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP and kicked off a police ombudsman commission. She also lost her job teaching African studies at Eastern Washington University.
