At least they didn't beat her which a rhinocerous hide whip (or did they?)

I don’t know what’s going on with this case, but yours is an interesting question. Here’s something:

-- what did she do to piss off her family so that they chose to reveal her as a fraud? --

The details of the revelation process are still murky.

WaPo sez "spokane-naacp-president-rachel-dolezal-may-be-white", and has a couple tidbits.

The Dolezals, it should be noted, are a family divided. Parents Lawrence and Ruthanne and brothers Ezra and Zach do not speak with their sister because, they say, she alleged abuse in the family and obtained custody of her 21-year-old brother Izaiah. Izaiah, who is black, lives with Rachel Dolezal in Spokane -- and Rachel says he is her son, the family alleged.

"Izaiah always was her favorite child," Ezra Dolezal said. "... She turned Izaiah kind of racist. Told Izaiah all this stuff about white people, made him really racist toward white people."

The custody battle wound up in 2010. I don't think the "outing" of Rachel was instigated by the parents, at least not in June 2015. I think the parents confirmed it, when asked, but I haven;t read a story where the parents approached the press.

Interestingly, Rachel also claimed to be part Indian, born in a tipi. Related to that fraud, Elizabeth Warren. Notice the biggest racist in this family bunch appears to be Rachel.
