Former NAACP branch president Rachel Dolezal, who lied about being black but still identifies as black, is now jobless, living on food stamps and expects to lose her home next month.
"There's no protected class for me," the former NAACP branch president told The Guardian. "I'm this generic, ambiguous scapegoat for white people to call me a race traitor and take out their hostility on. And I'm a target for anger and pain about white people from the black community. It's like I am the worst of all these worlds."
Dolezal has applied for over 100 jobs, but has received no offers, even from a supermarket. She has, however, been offered work in porn and reality TV. While a friend helped pay her rent for February, Dolezal expects she'll lose her home next month.

I remember that crappy movie.
Yes, I mean ancestors. Sorry.
You may be splitting hairs, but the first sale was in Virginia in 1619 which predated the arrival of the pilgrims a year later. Technically, they were indentured servants because there was no legally established concept of slavery in the Virginia Company colony. I’m not sure, but suspect that was corrected before 1630.
For those with slave ancestry, records are either very good (if the owner kept breeding records) or nearly non-existent (most cases as few did), the reason why mostly just suspected or was stuff of family folklore before DNA testing became widely available.
DNA testing isn't expensive anymore, $50 or so in most cases. Swab a cheek, screw it back in the provided tube, send it off and get your results a couple of weeks later.
I don't suggest it as a primary source, but definitely helpful when there are no authentic records available.
People are often shocked to find different DNA origin results from siblings of the same parents. They shouldn't be. Just as traits like eye or hair color may differ depending on which sperm and egg cells combined, so do the national origin markers. Of course, they are not going to vary greatly. One brother isn't going to have 80% Native American DNA, while the other shows 20%, but a 5-10% difference is normal.
Could be. I came by my info not from any study of early slavery, but from family history. But my main point is that the "northern colonies" were just as guilty on the acceptance of slavery as the southern.
Pennsylvania was the first to do so. Massachusetts soon followed. The motivation was when the bodies were collected from the Battle of Bunker Hill for burial. There were a significant number of Black soldier who died fighting for our side in that battle, so much so that it led Massachusetts to follow Pennsylvania's lead.
As a sidenote, I am a member of S.A.R. (the male equivalent of the far more numerous and famous DAR). We have black members who are descendants of American Revolution veterans. In fact, there are whole chapters of them in some areas. A North Carolina chapter was featured in our last quarter's magazine.
“She sums it up well.....she’s a sicko victim. “
Yes, Ma’am!
Exactly. The ones who lie like her and Warren make me puke. They do it to obtain so called AA slots in colleges/jobs, plus to obtain many other bennies.
