The NAACP official who today resigned in the face of evidence that she masqueraded as black once sued Howard University for denying her teaching posts and a scholarship because she was a white woman, The Smoking Gun has learned.
Rachel Dolezal, 37, who headed the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington chapter, sued Howard for discrimination in 2002, the year she graduated from the historically black college with a Master of Fine Arts degree.
Dolezal, then known as Rachel Moore, named the university and Professor Alfred Smith as defendants in a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C.’s Superior Court. During the pendency of the civil case, Smith was chairman of Howard’s Department of Art.
According to a Court of Appeals opinion, Dolezal's lawsuit “claimed discrimination based on race, pregnancy, family responsibilities and gender.” She alleged that Smith and other school officials improperly blocked her appointment to a teaching assistant post, rejected her application for a post-graduate instructorship, and denied her scholarship aid while she was a student.
The court opinion also noted that Dolezal claimed that the university’s decision to remove some of her artworks from a February 2001 student exhibition was “motivated by a discriminatory purpose to favor African-American students over” her.

I guess her life is over.
I’m still confused. Is she in trouble for being white, or for not being black?
She found out that the law discriminates against people who don’t act ‘black’.
So she decided to be ‘black’ so she wouldn’t be treated unfairly by the courts.
Reasonable decision. Anyone can be ‘black’, it’s just a matter of attitude.
And when the system was colorblinded, she immediately got the scholarship. Looks like she was right.
she in TRUBBLE for being a lying preposterous fraud
#BlackLiesMatter
Yes
That’s what I thought.
For putting liberals in an uncomfortable position.
She’s an MFA.
This only gets better and better.
I would imagine in a “kindly” worded letter they told her to get lost. Guess the only thing left for her to do is to start teaching “transracialism” as a legitimate way of life. She has to pay for her weaves someway.
When, why and how did white and Christian become a designated unprotected and under-represented underclass in the USA?
She’s not an imposter. She felt black, ergo, she’s black.
Otherwise Bruce Jenner is just a man with a mutilated penis.
So let me get this straight, this crazy b*tch got into an all black college, then sued saying the blacks were discriminating against her, then she takes that, turns it around and hates on white people..WOW this woman is just straight up psychotic
What’s up with the Sideshow Bob looking afro it looks ridiculous
This is typical of the news that goes national from this nasty liberal Democrat State. Positive social news out of WA is very rare.
