She warned her little brother about snitching? Are we sure she's not really black?

Rachel Dolezal told her adopted black brother not to out her as a white woman, Buzzfeed news reports.
“She just told me, ‘Over here, I’m going to be considered black, and I have a black father. Don’t blow my cover,’” Ezra Dolezal, 22, told the Buzzfeed.
She also told him to tell people that she and her adopted black siblings are blood relations.
Rachel, the president of the Spokane, Wash., branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, made international headlines last week when she was outed as a white woman with two white parents.
The NAACP has stood behind her, even after news outlets started running photos of the usually curly-haired and caramel-skinned African studies professor showing her natural pale complexion and straight, golden locks.
Ezra told Buzzfeed that Rachel didn’t give “any logical explanation” for her unusual request, but that she’d fallen out with their parents and wanted to start a new life elsewhere
“But she took it to the ultimate extreme,” Ezra said. “Not only did she move out to Spokane, but she created a whole new identity for herself.”
She started to change herself physically about six years ago, he told Buzzfeed, perming her hair and using skin products to appear “darker and darker.” She knew how to keep up her look because she’d spent years doing her adopted black sister’s hair, Ezra said.
But the internal changes started much earlier than that, he said, when Rachel studied fine art at Howard University.
“Because of her work in African-American art, they thought she was a black student during her application, but they ended up with a white person.”
She became isolated and angry, and that anger turned to hate — for white people.
“It’s like what psychologists call self-hating,” Ezra said. “She had no reason not to like herself being white. She was an awesome artist and she could have accomplished everything she did, if she had stayed exactly the same.”
That hate extended to their parents, Ezra said, whom Rachel believes are racist and abusive. She managed to obtain legal custody of one of her siblings, Izaiah in 2010, and now passes him off as her birth son.
Ezra admits his parents were harsh and used corporal punishment, though he denies Rachel’s allegations they were abusive. And he was once close with his sister, he now describes her ruse as a “slap in the face” to African-Americans.
“She puts dark makeup on her face and says she black,” he said. “It’s basically blackface.”

I just want to know if SNL is going to do a sketch about this tonight? Lots of material there for some huge laughs.
(disclaimer- I don’t normally watch SNL; I just catch occasional skits on Youtube)
Snitches get stitches
She’s busted doing the reverse Michael Jackson. How apropos...
3 sows will whup her senseless
Its times like this I wish Joan Rivers were alive, she could have enough comedy gold to last her a year with this story
This has to be one of the most insulting things to black people since all those racist stereotypes were once bandied about.
Why the NAACP is fine with this crap, I have no idea.
My mom (a conservative) is a well known artist in our state and has done many studies who are black. One of my favorites is of a local black man from years ago standing in a corn field. His face would launch novels it’s so incredibly poignant. Don’t recall my mom ever wanting to be black. Or wanting to because her parents used corporal punishment on her.
A post at the source:
There's some larceny involved here which has become the bigger issue.
She qualified for & cruised through a scholarship at a recognised African American university, yet had the audacity to complain about racism while there.
In her NAACP role she contacted the cops in February claiming that they were receiving hate mail, yet none of it was postmarked and the only access to the PO box is with a key; she's the keyholder. She further claimed that she was visited by neo-Nazis while in the front office, they asked for a tour (supposedly refused by her); saluted a swastika flag kept on the premises for "historic" purposes and asked where she lived, while the security camera was mysteriously down for the first & last time.
She's way in over her head now and whatever ruse she thought she had going will be blown wide open come Monday - guaranteed - at or after a promised press conference.
Blacks couldn’t run the NAACP so they went and got a white woman poser to do it for them. Rich....
Hey, at least Barry_O44 and MEEchelleO have actual blackness in them.
I guess that makes them authentic haters.
doctor phil would understand....
I'm betting they won't touch this... especially since they're in reruns until fall.
