When I met Rachel Dolezal, I found it easy to accept her description of her ethnicity. Along with BBC correspondent Jonny Dymond, I talked to Dolezal in 2011 in a coffee shop in Spokane, Washington, while producing a BBC World Service documentary on a surge in extremist militia activity in America. She told us that she was of mixed racial heritage but that she primarily identified with her black ancestors. She matter-of-factly listed the abuse she says she received at the hands of racists, including threats, break-ins, and nooses being left at her workplace.
At no time during our hour-long interview, or during a number of phone and email conversations before and after, did Dolezal give any cause to doubt her heritage. But today Dolezal, a well-known local civil rights leader, university lecturer and head of the local chapter of civil rights group NAACP, is being talked about across social media networks, because her family have said she was lying about her background.

BBC Trending has tried to contact Dolezal, but she hasn't yet responded

That was Rachel Jeantel.
It’s a perfect combo. A fake faking fakes.
I met Bruce Jenner, and never doubted his male roots
This will no doubt cause her to lose her job. What will be her career path now? Talk show circuit?
What Nazi "one drop" rule? A person who was half Jewish was a Mischling (first degree), one fourth Jewish, a Mischling second degree. Less than one fourth, was not a Jew (unless self identified). Field Marshall Milch's father was Jewish. Many Mischling and full Jews served in Wehrmacht. SS Office candidates had to prove pure "Aryan" ancestry going back to 1750.
The part of Sideshow Bob , in the Simpsons Movie ?
The Nazis never had a one-drop rule. That was a refinement of the American South.
The Nazis defined a person with two Jewish grandparents as a mischling of the first degree, with one Jewish grandparent as one of the second degree.
First degrees were in theory discriminated against but not normally imprisoned or killed.
Second degree mischlings were generally treated as Aryans, though they might have trouble getting into the Nazi Party or the SS.
In theory, both groups were to be eventually sterilized, but they never got around to it.
What a joke of the LIB fools who promoted, trusted and accepted her. Maybe tomorrow she’ll decide she’s a salamander or something. The mentally unbalanced (aka LIBs) are somewhat amusing.
Sorry, working on my post when your’s showed up.
No problem, but I prefer “Aryans” in quotes.
So, Capehart is throwing her under the bus, and Gaskin is defending her. I’m confused. Let’s get Capehart and Gaskin on at the same time. Once they settle on the correct reaction, then I’ll know how to feel about this.
Maybe Caitlin Jenner can work her (a thousand apologies if “she” is offended by gender identity) into its new teevee program.
The picture her parents are showing the world as a blue eyed blond with freckles. That’s how her father described her.
I saw on her application, or whatever it was, she claims African, Caucasian and American Indian.

Is she naturally blonde too?
:p
Fair enough. The way the Nazis used the term made no genetic or linguistic sense.
