Controversy is swirling around one of the regions most prominent civil rights activists, with family members saying the local leader of the NAACP has falsely portrayed herself as black for years.
Rachel Dolezal is president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, chair of the citys Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, and an adjunct professor at Eastern Washington University.
Dolezals mother says the familys ancestry is Czech, Swedish and German, with a touch of Native American heritage.
Dolezal has identified herself in application materials as white, black and Native American.
Police say they have also found little evidence to back up her numerous claims of racial harassment.

Is Rachel American, Colored, and a People?
I think that’s fair. She’s trans-black.
Actually this dust up is a perfect example of the phoniness of atempting to identify people by race. How does one prove they are black? What is black enough. In the 21st Century are we going to return to the “paper bag test”?
Well considering that the NAACP was started by whites ....
My Wife’s Friend is from South Africa.
She is the only true African American I know.
Pardon the Pun, but she is as White as a Sheet, just like Bill Clinton.
Just another hate monger.
She looks like a Melungeon.
Here’s a video of a reporter asking her if her father is black as she had claimed . . .https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oKRj_h7vmMM
Decent looking thang.
Thank so too.
Be happy to show her around the old haunts.
She’s an octoroon.
She’s an aspirational negro.
“If Bruce can proclaim himself to be a woman,...”
That would be Caitlyn to you!
Wow!
She’s a genuine grade A race hustler.
I too thought Melungeon immediately.
What a fascinating ethnic history those dusky folks possess!
Being black is a cultural thing. Bill Clinton was the first black American president. Maybe she is just a white African-American.
"You went full retard, man. Never go full retard."
Oh, a black wannabe.
I’ll bet your friend enjoys confusing and frustrating the bleeting American sheep on what African American truly means.
Depending on the Social situation, we do take some joy in introducing her as an African American.
Her amusement varies. LOL
