Spokane NAACP President Rachel Dolezal who built her entire personality and career around being identified as a black woman, was recently outed as while last week when her parents revealed to the world hat Dolezal is actually a white woman! Click here if you missed it!
Rachel’s Montana birth certificate states her parents are “Caucasian” according to CNN and Rachel said recently that she preferred to be identified as black, rather than African-American.
Dolezal was born of two white parents. She is of primarily Czech and German ancestry, and has naturally blonde, straight hair. She has been masquerading as a black woman for years, using kinky hair extensions, dreds, and makeup to bolster her persona. Since she was outed by her parents and by a local news reporter, critics have slammed Dolezal for perpetrating a fraud, and now, as Daily Mail reports, she is responding to those who are upset that she has been pretending to be black without an apology, according to Radar Online!
“I don’t give two shits what you guys think,” Dolezal said in an interview. When asked if she considers herself African American, she said, “I actually don’t like the term ‘African-American,’ I prefer black… I would definitely say… say yes I do consider myself to be black.”
“Rachel is a master artist, so she is able to disguise herself and make her appearance look like any ethnicity,” her mother said.
Rachel, who argued that W.E.B Du Bois said that race is a cultural thing, said “It’s more important for me to clarify [the situation] with the black community and with my executive board than it really is to explain it to a community that, quite frankly, don’t really understand the definitions of race and ethnicity.”
Everyone including the black community does have questions about why Dolezal, who had listed herself as white, black, and Native American on an application for Spokane’s Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, would misrepresent herself rather than serve as an ally while owning her white ethnicity. And due to her misrepresentations, she will have to answer not just to the black community, but to local investigators as well, who are currently looking into the situation.
