Speaking with Savannah Guthrie, Rachel Dolezal claimed that there is "no biological proof" that she is not black because she has not had her parents' DNA tested. She pushed further, stating that she is "definitely not white," despite the fact that she sued Howard University in 2005 claiming they discriminated against her because she was white.
“When someone asks, 'Are you black?’ which I actually don’t get asked very often until recently, since a few days ago, I say, ‘Yeah, I am black,’” she told Ms. Guthrie.
“I haven’t had a DNA test," Ms. Dolezal continued. "There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents. I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not, but I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean the birth certificate was issued a month and a half after I’m born. Certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth. It was in the woods.”
Ms. Dolezal continued, “I definitely am not white. Nothing about being white describes who I am. So, you know, what’s the word for it? The closest thing that I can come to is if you’re black or white, I’m black."
She went on, "I’m more black than white. On a level of values, lived experience currently. In this moment, that’s the answer. That’s the accurate answer from my truth. But I hope the dialogue continues to push against, ‘What is race? What is ethnicity?’”
There is a simple genetic test which can tell what her racial makeup is. They do it on Maury occasionally.
She faked hate crimes and took a position from a real black person.
This is what happens when you let nutcases define what gender, race, marriage is .
Okay, let’s go there: I am the product of a traveling salesman and a teenage girl having an illicit affair in the late 1950’s. She went to a home for unwed mothers in another state and gave me up for adoption. I have absolutely no clue who or what my father was, what race he was, genetics, or anything. I did meet my birth mother through CUB near the end of her life and she appeared to be a white Midwesterner. Going by what Rachel is saying above, can I claim to be black or Hispanic? LOL
Why is it a given that the position is only for bla cks? Sounds mighty racist.
Your claim is already 1000 percent more solid than hers
It all depends on what your ‘truth’ is.
Here is a racist White Woman who is taking advantage of Blacks and taking away their position that rightly belong to disadvantaged blacks. Liberals don’t care how many blacks get hurt as long as she promote white racism
Yep
She’s stupid for not taking a DNA test. Most white Americans are part black.
Sounds like she just found out that she could be prosecuted for fraud.
She has a point... There is no evidence that I am not the King of Prussia either!
Not old timey Mormons
I would love to see her on Maury with Lawrence Dolezal. “You ARE the father!” And she runs backstage crying. The father says “Damn!”
Then just what does “being white” describe?
So, she is accusing her mother of sleeping with and getting pregnant by a black man.
I am black, have been since last week. Now where is my Obamaphone and all the other free stuff? When do I get the extra points on the civil service exam? When do my kids and grand kids get admitted to college under “affirmative action?”
Seriously, one can understand the absurdity of a proposition by taking it to the extreme. For instance, if every white person in America suddenly declared themselves to be black, all of the racial set-asides that favor blacks would disappear. Think about that.
She should sit down and have a beer summit with Henry Louis Gates, host of the PBS series ‘Finding your roots’ The program uses DNA testing. Drag Elizabeth Warren to the beer summit too...

I’m always amused when you see the baby mama who was 1000% sure that no good SOB is the father hearing “You are NOT the father.”
Sometimes they get a little half-smile and then quickly cover their face with their hands and start fake bawling. They never pull their hands off after that. Just Boo Hoo, “Tess is wrong!” and all that. Hands still over their face.
The reason they’ve got their hands on the face is so you can’t see there are NO TEARS. Later on, when everybody calmed down, you might see her face - makeup and eyeliner, shadow all is intact.
