A prominent civil rights activist in Spokane, Washington, has been lying for years by portraying herself as black when she's really a white woman, according to some of her family members.
Rachel Dolezal, 37, president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, declined to directly answer questions Thursday about allegations she's lied about her racial background.
For years, she's described herself in application materials as a mix of white, black and Native American heritage, news reports say.
She's filed numerous complaints with the police, claiming she's been a victim of racial harassment.
Dolezal is also chair of the city's Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, and an adjunct professor at Eastern Washington University. The mayor and the city council president said Thursday they were gathering facts to determine if any policies were violated in her city appointment, KXLY-TV reported.
Asked directly this week if she is black, Dolezal said that question carried a lot of "complexities," then added: "We're all from the African continent," The Spokesman-Review reported.

Don’t pick on Michael Jackson.
He began life as a poor black boy and died a rich white woman.
I made no judgment whatsoever. Not even about Al Jolsson’s inability to commit...
She said there’d be days like this.
Exactly! Who are we to say she is not black? I’m a unicorn.
DING! DING! We have a winner!!
I am a Trans-Am, vroom vroom
Who cares if she’s white?
The NAACP says that race shouldn’t matter.
Funny that it does.
Hilarious! What a fool. She deserves all the ridicule she gets.
so “colored people” is racist, but “people of color” is ok...
what the hell is the difference between the two?!
we’ve indulged the left’s monkeying about with language for far too long.
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL, YA’LL!!!
Sounds like what is going on with the Lumbee indians in NC.
Probably, but they may have feared being labeled Uncle Toms if they questioned her authenticity.
When you are a fake black, it’s totally possible that you could be the victim of fake racist attacks, so what’s the problem?
On Saturday I think I’ll be a black woman. On Tuesday I’ll be a duck.
Hey!
That worked for Elizabeth Warren-!
No one challenged her-as far as we know- her whole “adult life”
now there is quite a few indian tribes challenging Warren-
AND THOSE REAL indians are being ignored-
LOL- lets vote for more Demonrats
article -just ONE of her responses-
“Asked directly this week if she is black, Dolezal said that question carried a lot of “complexities,” then added: “We’re all from the African continent,”
LOL
Also, what difference does it make? At this time anyhow?
Black people want to keep Mother Africa all to themselves.
Some push a false ideology that white people are the result of an African science experiment gone awry long ago.
She has a black soul.
