(CNN)Rachel Dolezal -- fresh off of stepping down as head of the Spokane NAACP chapter over criticism that she's portrayed herself as black, even though she was born white -- stood by that self-assessment Tuesday, insisting, "I identify as black."
Dolezal did not deny her parents are white, that she was born white, or that she has changed how she looks at herself over the years in an interview on NBC's "Today" show. And she admitted not having corrected various published reports over the years labeling her as transracial, biracial and black.
At the same time, Dolezal -- while admitting she might have conducted some interviews differently -- insisted she'd do the same thing again overall when it comes to how she has portrayed herself racially.
"My life has been one of survival," she said. "And the decisions that I have made along the way have been to survive and to carry forward in my journey and life continuum."

Sure- most of the other Swedish/German 4th generation Americans— they identify as black, also-— NOT!
This woman is a lunatic— right up there with “Caitlyn” Jenner and Bradley “chelsea” Manning and a slew of other diagnosable schizoids.

Some people do not know when to just quietly go away.
If she had any love for the NAACP she would do just that.
Her former organization is now seeing how she feels that it is all about her after all.

"I identify as black." Unless I'm suing a black college for anti-white discrimination, that is.

I identify her as crazy.
Well, she has a life continuum. That explains a lot.

Today I’m “defining as” someone who doesn’t put up with liberal insanity.
Don’t be a “doesn’tputupwithlibs-ophobe”.

Well, obviously not. If you identify as a can of tune, you’re a can of tune, not a can of tunA.

Ex-NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal: 'I identify as black' Ms Dolezal can identify as a mushroom, but that doesn't make her one. She's nutty as a fruitcake.

Well then, by golly, she’s black. Saying it is so makes it so. This is America and you can be whatever you want to be.
Has Obama sent her a congratulatory tweet yet?
