Rachel Dolezal has no genealogical claim whatsoever that she is black, going back through the last four centuries, an investigation by Daily Mail Online has revealed.
The woman who sparked a national debate on race has no black relatives dating back to 1671; in fact her family were entirely white including some who were Mormons.
Archives show that Rachels ancestors came to the US from Europe and have no bloodlines linking them to slaves or Africa.
Even a great grandmother who has almost identical features to Rachel was identified as white in two census documents.
Our reporters commissioned Massachusetts-based genealogist Elizabeth Banas to look into Rachels past to see if her heritage was indeed as her parents described.
Ruthanne and Larry Dolezal, from Troy, Montana, said in interviews that Rachel was a mixture of Swedish, German and Czech heritage with a little Native American.

The DM obtains facts.
The US Media put these people up in five-star hotels and give them 5 min softball interviews in which categorically impossible statements such as ‘I identify as black’ are treated as entirely reasonable.
“If she received preferential treatment or benefits by falsely claiming shes black, prosecute her.”
That would be 110% unjust! You know that if Obama had another daughter, she’s be just like Rachel.
That’s Rachelist.
i saw a Warren 2016 bumper sticker on a car the other day... in a very republican part of Colorado. it made me want to puke. there are so many smug, dumb libtards from CA, NY, IL moving here and ruining this place. i guess living in CO has become very trendy.
this state is doomed.
She is useful in that she has completely derailed the Sharpton/Ferguson/Pool Party racist cop narrative.
She has also made the NAACP into a laughingstock as they wrestle with keeping a militant in the fold or confirming that they are a purely racist (under a strict definition) outfit.

Oh yes it is; especially since she got a place on a police board by claiming to be black on the application form.
But once again we have to rely on the British press to do what the US press won't.
I don't think Kenyan records are that accurate.
They must be doing something right to get kept off the Hillary Clinton campaign bus.
Black / Negro is no longer a race.
It is an ideology.
(:
NOBODY should have got extra money based on race. I support her scamming THAT racist system.
My Cherokee relatives would claim to be white and if that didn’t work I know my grandma claimed to be Mexican.
Now she couldn't get to her well-paid position with the NAACP if she was white. I'm sure they aren't really happy. She made a fool out of ALL of them.
I feel wealthy but when I look at my bank statement the numbers don’t approach wealthy. I guess these things only work for liberals
I don't think so. She can be dismissed from the board for ethics violations but that's about it. The only racial claim that requires verifiable proof is Native American, and that's due to tribal rolls.
There used to be laws on the books that made it a crime to "self identify" as a race you weren't. These Jim Crow-era laws were enforced against light-skinned blacks who were able to "pass" as whites and have pretty much been stricken.
It's uncharted legal waters if she can be criminally charged for fraud by taking something of monetary value like a scholarship by falsely claiming being black. After all, at what point does blackness begin? 50%? 25%? 1/32nd? Are we going to return to the "one drop rule" days?
Sure she could have. the NAACP has no racial requirements to serve as President. That would be illegal.
she’s luckier than many blondes then who have dark roots
Now, now.
Racist only applies to pale whiteys because they’re the only racist people on the planet. Any whitey who abuses the system that whiteys put in place to put money into the non-whitey fund is Beelzebub with pasty white skin and should be burned at the stake!
Of course Rachel is NO WHITEY. She FEELS like she’s not a whitey. She has cast off the shackles of her whitey prison. She’s entitled to the money those evil whiteys stole from the poor brothah man. Give her even more money, and reinstate her into the NAACP. Let her be the proud African American she was born to be!
” has no black relatives dating back to 1671...”
Yeah, so what? If we go back far enough we all have black/African roots, according to the anthropologists.
Dolezal should be celebrated for busting up the stupid “protected group” priviledge system. If everybody could claim “African-American” then the whole Affirmative Action preference system would collapse, Cloward/Piven-style.
