Rachel Dolezal has finally admitted that sheâs white.
The disgraced former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP acknowledged her racial background during an intense interview on Foxâs âThe Realâ on Monday.
âI acknowledge that I was biologically born white to white parents, but I identify as black,â Dolezal said at the conclusion of an intense round of questioning from the showâs all-minority, all-female panel.
The 37-year-old civil rights activist made national headlines in June when it was revealed that she had falsely claimed to be black for years. Dolezalâs white parents, who live in Montana, told reporters at that time that she had falsely claimed a black man as her father and that her brother â who was adopted from Africa â was her son.
The scandal led to Dolezalâs ouster from the NAACP. Her contract to teach Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University was also not renewed.
Until Monday, Dolezal had skirted all questions about her racial background, instead claiming that since she identifies as black that she is black. But the hosts of The Real called her bluff.
One of the hosts pushed back on Dolezalâs evasion asserting that one issue with her falsely claiming to be black is that she ignores that âthere are opportunities that I might not get that you can have only because of the color of my skin.â
When asked if she has ever experienced something like that, Dolezal said, âwell, the police mark black on my traffic tickets.â
âWhy not say youâre white, but you identify as black but you donât seem to answer the question straight on?â Dolezal was asked by another co-host.
When Dolezal finally caved and admitted that she has white parents, the audience gave her a standing ovation.
Despite that breakthrough, Dolezal was not made to respond to other unfounded claims she has made. For example, she has filed numerous police reports over the years claiming to be the victim of anti-black hate crimes. Police have never found evidence to support her claims.
Dolezal also made unfounded allegations that her biological brother, Joshua Dolezal, molested their adopted sister. Dolezal, a professor in Iowa, denied the charges, which were dropped this summer.
Now give back all the money that you fraudulently obtained...b****
No more watermelon for you!
I volunteer to explain White Privilege to her now that she has it. For one thing, it’s now OK for her to drive at twice the speed limit with a half-empty whiskey bottle in either hand, weaving lane to lane and shooting out the window, and the cops will never hassle her. Really. Try it and see!
Well, I enjoyed driving around in Canada so much in early July, that I now identify as a Canadian. I'm a trans-Canadian! Gimme my Canadian citizenship NOW!!!
She discovered that claiming to be Black had financial, professional, and social advantages. So she lied, in the same way that one hundred years ago people would claim to be members of the aristocracy. Many freeloaders in Europe would float along with the elite society blue bloods enjoying the many advantages of such status.
So, since people are now claiming to be a member of a disadvantaged minority group in order to enjoy the financial and social enrichment that follows, how do we know believe that racial prejudice and discrimination is prevalence throughout our culture?
How stupid do they think we are?
White what? Black what? Does she feel like being female? Does she feel like being human?
Celebrate mental illness, or we’ll kill you in the name of diversity, pilgrim.
She still has to admit that she is at the far, far, FAR left of the Bell curve.
This all must be so very confusing for her “friends” and associates.
STOLEN PALOR....
I am not an Iowa native, but I have lived here for several years. It’s a small state where everyone seems to know everyone else and their business. Until now, I had never that Ms. D was a professor here. The liberalDemocrat MSM completely ignored her psychotic idiocy.
Well, I hang out on FR so much that I identify as an American - I want full citizenship in time to vote in the Republican primaries!
What a despicable scum-sucking swine.
What a letdown!
How’s reaping that white privilege going for you?
NUTS!!
Sure, why not. Illegals are voting down here already.
Who cared?
Just another silly-ass "I feel your pain" dumb liberal.
