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.
If you can pick your sex, you should also be able to pick your race, and all the benefits that go with it.
Look on the behave of white people everwhere.. can we trade her for a draft pick to be named later?
I was born to lower middle class parents but I identify as Gates kid so... Gimme that Aston Martin.
Wigger!
It is much harder to play the racism card, and the victim card, and the blame game if she is actually white.
Who cares? She is a SKANK no matter what color she chooses this week. What a mess!
Beautiful! Great observation. I wish I was as clever. May I steal it? What would be a line for Bruce Jenner?
Will she have to return any money that she might have received during the time that she was black?
The idiot still identifies as “black” so apparently...NO she hasn’t stopped lying.
VQ would then be a legally required factor in every factor of life: hiring, firing, promotion, school admissions, school grades, criminal sentencing, mortgage rates, etc., etc.
Harmony ensues.
Feel free
Already

Well played, Sir.

No. Since we all know blacks are paid less than whites she will be getting reparations, I'm sure.
I thought she was going to admit she was Shaun King's sister.
I had to laugh.
She’s the Bruce Jenner of transracialism.
