    Ahh that explains it. She used fraud to get a full scholarship, and now she's committed to the fraud.

    I just read on cnn that the application did not ask race. So technically she did not, they just assumed.

    not really no, i don't have a problem with it, especially those 2 examples, first of all elizabeth warren was told since childhood she was part native american and found out later in life it wasn't true, this woman appears to be suffering from some kind of nervous breakdown, she was not raised to believe anything she just started to pretend to black for some weird reason after her divorce

    this case is a weird one, in this case it was her whiteness she kept secret, it's similar, but your right, it's also different

    You are making an uneducated guess as an excuse.

    well im making an educated guess by reading the article and what her parents said about her, apparently you either know more about her than her parents, or your assuming there's some kind of sinister conspiracy going on (probably involving the jews im guessing) so which is it?

    Also if someone starts insulting you from now on, im gonna defend you by telling everyone your a mental patient, since you think that's such a great defense

    Here is an interesting interview with her parents that pretty much points to some kind of breakdown, living in a world that is not quite reality.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/12/rachel-dolezal-parents_n_7571918.html

    So her parents adopted 3 black kids from the states and another from Haiti. Perhaps all along the line she had a desire to be like her brothers and sisters. Who knows? But the video was eye opening. But regardless, I guess it is as I stated before, this is between her and the Spokane NAACP.

    As for Warren, this is the first I heard that she had been told as a kid she was part indian. But the people of Massachusetts has decided they wanted her as their senator and their opinion is really the only one that counts.

    I think both were wrong, but it seems this Dolezal character by living in a world of not quite reality has perhaps the better rational.

    The term 'serial victim' comes to mind with this woman.

    So she went 'black face' eh? I thought that was supposed to be offensive to liberals instead of something to excuse.

    A Life to be Heard

    Filed under Eagle Life, Showcase

    When I first walked up to Rachel Doležal’s bright red front door that stood out from the light beige home on South Hill, I felt nervous to have taken up this busy woman’s time to ask her about her life. I wasn’t sure if I was an inconvenience to her or if she would be really interested in sharing her story with a stranger.

    She opened the door and looked at me with unexpected green eyes, a caramel skin complexion and a warm smile; I felt a relief from my nervousness and couldn’t help but smile back at her.

    Doležal has many faces in Spokane County, including NAACP President, chairman for the Office of the Police Ombudsman — she participates in ride-alongs, observing both police and citizens’ behavior — advisor for Black Student Union at EWU and Africana Studies professor at EWU. She’s an activist wherever she steps foot, a columnist for the Inlander and a mother 24/7.

    Yet these titles mean little to Doležal, she’s more concerned with the difference she can make in the positions they represent. “Some people think I’m really successful because I have titles, but I feel like my success is only measured in what work gets done,” she said.

    Doležal welcomed me inside her little home full of sweet simplicity. Our voices echoed off the room’s hardwood floors. The walls were covered in abstract paintings I felt must have had a story behind the bristles that I could not wait to ask about.

    She laughed as she excused the mess, though the mess was insignificant. Many books and papers were laid on her table and picture frames were on every surface showing her and a young boy; I could tell their relationship was sweet. She guided me to her black, leather couch where I sat across from this lively woman and began to ask her how she got to where she is today.

    From the Montana tepee where she was born in 1977 to empowering the black community in Spokane today, Doležal has lived a life full of experiences “most people normally don’t have to go through.”

    According to Doležal, “Jesus Christ” is the witness on her birth certificate. Her mother believed in living off the land; they lived in the middle of nowhere.
    As a child, Doležal and her family hunted their food with bows and arrows.

    Wow. Guess you have to re-invent your past if you want to change your heritage.

    Poor little white girl.

    “It’s a painful thing to talk about my childhood,” she paused as she looked down into her hands. “I kind of don’t talk about it much.” Doležal has no contact today with her mother or stepfather due to a series of events that still haunt her thoughts today. Doležal and her siblings were physically abused by her mother and stepfather. “They would punish us by skin complexion,” she said.


    According to Doležal, the object her mother and stepfather used to punish them was called a baboon whip, used to ward baboons away in South Africa. These whips would leave scars behind, “they were pretty similar to what was used as whips during slavery.”

    “I’m a creator, and so whether that’s painting, whether that’s creating organizationally or creating curriculum, whatever, I like to create things,” she said.

    As Doležal spoke about her artwork, I turned myself around on her couch to admire her large painting on the wall behind me.
    “You can come sit over here, so you don’t have to twist your body around,” she laughed as I got up and sat next to her and we admired her painting together.
    She named the painting, “The Return.” It was a large, horizontal painting with three different sections from left to right.

    One of Doležal’s paintings was at a convention center in San Francisco, where her and a trusted mentor went out to dinner together to celebrate the sale. As soon as Doležal looked away, the mentor slipped gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, also called the “date-rape drug,” into her drink. According to Doležal, her mentor took advantage of her that night. She said suing was nearly impossible due to the amount of wealth the man had. “I can never trust anyone to bring me a drink again, you know, because it was a trusted person,” she said.

    According to Doležal, her ex-husband was abusive to her and even their son. At two years old, little Franklin would intervene between Doležal and her ex-husbands violence and “he would sometimes get thrown across the room,” she said.

    In 2006, Doležal developed cervical cancer. During chemotherapy, she decided to keep her incredibly long, blonde dreadlocks she had had and still puts them on today. She was considered cured in 2008.

    In Idaho, Doležal took on the role as director of the Human Rights Institute, where North Idaho white supremacy groups burglarized every home she and her son lived in. Doležal said she believes the white supremacy groups felt threatened by female power

    According to Doležal, they hung nooses in her home, vandalized and stole from her property, directed death threats toward her along with threatening to kidnap Franklin while he was in the second grade.

    She reported all of these acts to the police and each was admitted into police records as hate crimes,

    I think you're on to the ultimate cause, money. She found benefit in becoming black. She found attention when claiming to be the target of racial hate. With her purloined racial makeup having produced education, income and now celebrity she just continued with the charade making a career out of lying.

    The problem I have, she's lied on police reports, she's lied on applications for employment and perhaps federally / state backed education grants.

    I think some jail time is due. Her lies on police reports could, and maybe did, land someone in legal trouble. At minimum she wasted the time of the agencies she involved with her reports of break-ins, nooses, kidnapping and death threats.

    This isn't about race, this is about criminal acts Ms. Dolezal is admittedly guilty of.

    Laugf...... Yeah, this lady has some issues. This complex web she has constructed, from whole cloth, embellished through multiple and daily supporting "events" and "wrongs" endured has become her life and she probably believes it all. Cumulatively it becomes so obvious and almost humorous it is hard for me to visualize or imagine the mind set required to continue.

    If this were a mother talking about (causing) the false illness and symptoms suffered by a young son or daughter all to further some internal need or for monetary gain we would label it as abuse. Child abuse. What's the difference here? Lying about her "journey" and the "symptoms" suffered by her in an attempt to garner attention, money and other things she values; all the while creating these "symptoms"...... I see no difference between the abusive mother pushing for medical treatments for an illness that doesn't exist and this lady.

    It's all about personal gain at the expense of others. It is all based upon a lie. There is no good in this lady's actions or claimed good deeds; they are all illusions, lies.

    The NAACP is ahead of the power curve on this one. They took in the LGBT movement, now they are showing respect for the racial identity disorder community.

    Can you imagine the torture she lived with as a young girl. She knew that she was a young beautiful ebony skinned black girl, but saw a pale, dishwater blonde every time she looked in the mirror. Then compound the agony of seeing her own parents deny the reality of her life. The horror!

    Probably a wig because to perm straight blond hair to get that is very hard.
