Rachel Dolezal, who posed as black, ‘vindicated’ by Black Lives Matter movement

She still sees herself as black — and yearns to play a role in the push for racial equality.

But Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who claimed to be African-American in 2015, sparking a national scandal, shrugs off the years of shaming that followed, insisting she can help inspire fairer treatment of minorities.

“Racially I identify as human, but culturally I identify as black,” Dolezal said in a phone interview from her home in Spokane, Washington, where she makes a living braiding hair and selling her artwork.

“I do hope that we can rework the vocabulary. That’s part of challenging the race world view.”

Dolezal, a single mom who changed her legal name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in 2017 but goes by Rachel socially, says she’s been energized by the drive for justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

“Black Lives Matter” cares about blacks as much as “The Peoples Republic of China” care about people.

I "identify" as Cantharellus cibarius. Does that make me one? These people have a mental disease.

Yep, like all things leftist it’s a con job. All the money they take in, how much has actually gone to a black family in need? I’m betting zero and I heard Soros alone has given them $650 million. The IRS should take a look especially since their leader made a threat against the USA.

“...where she makes a living braiding hair and selling her artwork.”

It’s nice that they want us to think that she’s self-supporting, but I think I read elsewhere she’s on the dole? Kind of a step down from running the local NAACP chapter, No? *SMIRK*

Secondly, she should actually be working in a sheltered workshop with the other lunatics.

She’s a Useful Tool for the BLM Pukes. For now. This is the ONLY reason we’re hearing anything from her quarter.

Welfare fraud charges

In February 2017, Dolezal was receiving food stamps. She claimed that she was on the brink of homelessness and was unable to find employment.[23]

In May 2018, Dolezal was charged with second-degree perjury and felony theft by welfare fraud by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.[127][128] The charges were filed after it was revealed that she had received $8,847 in food and childcare assistance between August 2015 and December 2017. During that time period, she had been receiving tens of thousands of dollars in unreported income, but had told the state that her income was less than $500 per month. State investigators discovered that after her book was published, approximately $83,924 had been deposited into her bank account in monthly installments between August 2015 and September 2017. According to the Spokane County prosecutor’s office, Dolezal could have received a sentence of up to 15 years in prison if she was found guilty.[129][130] She entered into a diversion agreement on March 25, 2019, agreeing to repay her assistance benefits and complete 120 hours of community service to avoid a trial.[131]

$84K from her book. My God, who are the fools who bought that crap? She’s a scam artist so anything she wrote is in doubt, unreal. I should try that. “My mom and dad are Irish but I feel like I’m really Chinese. Here is my life story”

It means that after her first fifteen minutes of fame ran out, she’s getting another. She must be a real nut. Any normal human being would have shame over such a farce of a life and would disappear.

Not a good kind, though. Chanterelles are delicious. Libs are more like jock itch, or ringworm. They get a lot of attention, but nobody really wants them sround.

"...where she makes a living braiding hair and selling her artwork..."

LOL, it made me think of an SNL sketch with John Malkovich where he plays a driftwood artist:

"...First I sand the wood until it is smooth, then I oil it until it is soft. It's usually a bird or a whale or a knotted, twisty shape. And then I glue a small squirrel on it."

How would the BLM vindicate her? It hates her and is offended by her.
