Rachel Dolezal is in talks to star in her own reality-television show, RadarOnline reports.
Dolezal is a former NAACP leader who recently decided to step down from her position after being outed as being white by her parents.
Although Rachel has said that she identifies as black and has posed as a black woman for many years, her parents Larry and Ruthanne recently revealed to local newspaper The Spokesman-Review that their daughter has been lying about her ethnicity for many years and even provided the paper with her birth certificate and photos of Rachel as a white woman, People reports.
Now that the news has come out that Dolezal is in fact white, two production companies have reached out to offer her the opportunity to star in her own reality-TV show, says RO which adds that Dolezal is also seeking professional representation following her newfound celebrity.
An RO source revealed that Dolezal's "phone has been ringing constantly since the scandal broke, and she truly seems to be enjoying all of the attention. Going back to her former life just isn't an option."
The source added that "Rachel wants to use all of the publicity to raise awareness about race relations."
Dolezal's rumored reality-television gig comes on the heels of her interviews on NBC's "Today" and NBC's "Nightly News" to further discuss her belief that she is black.
Dolezal explained she felt she that she was black from a very young age and does not definitively believe that her white parents are her biological parents.
"I haven't had a DNA test. There's been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents," she said on NBC Nightly News."I'm not necessarily saying that I can prove they're not, but I don't know that I can actually prove they are. I mean the birth certificate was issued a month and a half after I'm born. Certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth. It was in the woods."
While appearing on "Today," Dolezal revealed that Caitlyn Jenner's transgender story resonated with her because she, too, felt isolated in her community and always felt that she was black.
"I cried," Rachel said about Jenner's story. "Because I resonated with some of the themes of isolation, of being misunderstood-to not know if you have a conversation with somebody, will that relationship then end because they have seen you as one way."
There’s also Roller Derby.
Idiocracy. It is not a comedy, it is a documentary.
OW, MY BALLS. Starring Rachel
“Turn Brown For What?”
Not hot and very crazy are “no-go”. Probably why she faked being black as there are some uber crazy black women, and in that environment she “might” be datable (Face down only).
Too bad and too sad my commentary on this loon and our current culture is as accurate as it is. Sad for society.
The revival of blackface?
It will be a cinnamon raisin donut that really thinks it’s a pizza bagel (who’s to say it isn’t?).
“I am Curiously Yellow”
In many cases these shows are contemporary versions of the old time carnie freak show. Except the freaks often appear mentally disturbed or retarded such as Kim K. and Paris H.
