Spokane NAACP president is White Woman faking she's Black, her mother says

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.

Who cares if she’s white?

The NAACP says that race shouldn’t matter.

Funny that it does.

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.

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.

That worked for Elizabeth Warren-!

now there is quite a few indian tribes challenging Warren-
AND THOSE REAL indians are being ignored-

LOL- lets vote for more Demonrats

“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

Put her on the Rats' presidential ticket with Eliza Warren.

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.
