A day after the parents of Rachel Dolezal, the President of the Spokane Chapter of the NAACP, said she has been misrepresenting herself as black for years, the NAACP says they are standing by Dolezal.

In a statement released Friday, the organization said:

"For 106 years, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds. NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership. The NAACP Alaska-Oregon-Washington State Conference stands behind Ms. Dolezal's advocacy record. In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational, and economic justice for all people, and we encourage Americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization.

Hate language sent through mail and social media along with credible threats continue to be a serious issue for our units in the Pacific Northwest and across the nation. We take all threats seriously and encourage the FBI and the Department of Justice to fully investigate each occurrence."

Let’s put this to rest. There is only one way to prove this true or false. For 3 months she is not allowed to have any contact with the world. Put her in a home in ANY state she wants all by herself with food, tooth brush, water no hair care product at all but a hair brush. Take a pic cure before and after. If she is not black or if she is you will find out. It’s like detox for hypocrites.

Before THEY told us we would never understand what the blacks went through, unless the rest of us have the same skin (color).

Now this 180 about face. I would laugh if it weren't so pathetic.
