The "race-faker" known as Rachel Dolezal has been booked on welfare fraud charges after reporting to a Washington jail on Monday.
Dolezal, who stepped down as head of Spokane, Washington's NAACP chapter in 2015 after she was revealed to be a white woman posing as black, has been accused of stealing more than $8,000 in food and child care assistance. She was ordered to turn herself in by Monday on charges of first-degree theft by welfare fraud, second-degree perjury and false verification for public assistance.
KREM reports she was booked and released from the Spokane County Jail at 3:30 p.m. Monday, 90 minutes before the judge's deadline. She was fingerprinted and had a booking photo taken; her mugshot has not been released.
The Washington Post reports an investigation began after Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, wrote a book about her controversial experiences seeing herself as "transracial." Her publishing deal included payments of $10,000 to $20,000 as advances against later royalties, according to court documents.
At the time, she was reporting a monthly income of less than $500 at the time from child support payments. She said she had been unable to find work after her parents revealed she was white and she was forced to resign from the NAACP; she was also fired from a job teaching African studies at Eastern Washington University.
Fox News reports Diallo had actually earned nearly $84,000 from 2015 to 2017, according to a subpoena of her bank statements and other records. Most of her income, from book sales, speaking engagements, art and other services, had not been reported to state Department of Social and Health Services.
If found guilty, Diallo could face up to 15 years in prison and be ordered to pay the full amount owed -- $8,887 -- as restitution. A trial is set to begin September 10.
LOL!....She must go broke buying perms!.......No wonder she needed welfare!.....................
Did she get knocked up by some unknown guy, and turn against Whitey and blame Whitey for all her self-imposed failures?
That’s how to be accepted as “genuinely” black today.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction!..................
"I don't think so. Homey don't play dat."
She wasn’t stealing, she self identified as someone who qualified for food stamps.
Guess she could be black after all.
LOL!
Obvious defense : just playing the part
Ha-Ha!
If you can pick your gender, then why can’t you pick your race? All of us with too much honky blood could self identify as something else and tell the liberals their goal of making palefaces a minority has now been achieved so they should go away and leave us alone.
This Makes me SMILE!
They’re only prosecuting her because she’s black...or something like that.
With welfare fraud It appears Rachel has passed all of the required tests to be a NAACP official.
It’s white women like her that give black women a bad name. :-)
“””””””She said she had been unable to find work after her parents revealed she was white”””””””
Dat bitch be crazy, Jim.
She was...................
Oh no! The legal system in this country cannot possibly separate her from her child! Where are her rights?!
And released. Thought I read there were records of her depositing around $85k in to her account. WTH? I didn’t know it was THAT lucrative. Then again, I worked with a guy years ago who did not live at home with his wife and 5 kids and she collected big. He always had hundreds of dollars on him. And this was in, say, ‘73/’74 time frame.
