***** Since Dolezal's lying is so creepily obvious and strange. You're usual politicians aren't spray-tanning and wig-wearing to call themselves black, but threatening black colleges with lawsuits for discriminating against them for being white. This lady is a circus-like curiosity.
E Lombard Yeah, because people never lie. Do you hold you political and authoritative figures to the same standard? They lie all day and no one bats an eye.
It's okay to embrace a certain culture. It's okay to have a passion. It's not okay to lie about your legal identity to employers, fellow NAACP members, and the general public.
NAACP members and some of the general public are corrupt anyways...and most jobs are wage slavery jobs. They already lie. + how do you know her soul isn’t black? What if her soul was meant to get into a black body but somehow nature/reincarnation fucked it up?
Am black and agree with her..if she feels black she is black..( yall cant have it 2 ways,transgenders can be what they feel but this woman cant be who she feels???? Not fair
At some point in her adult life (maybe while at Howard U.) she figured there would be a bigger pay off if she were black. Loving African American culture is wonderful, whether she was white or not, but we need allies, not replacement.
@Roa hahaha black people are funny lot. so now you're saying there ARE benefits of being black?? i thought u've all been saying u are the least privileged race in america. *cue the eye rolling here*
@@thedbq1 Yes, the privilege of being Black is being Black. Get jealous.. The only good thing she got from being "black" was hate crimes lol. P.s hope your eyes pop out.
If you look at the Spokane NAACP site you can see how she claims to be the victim of hate crimes.. Honestly think this issue is far deeper than just faking her race.. She's defining herself as a victim and has created an identity for herself that is noticeable and important enough to matter to people and to be victimized. This is identity/existential crisis from a woman who lacks substance an relevancy and knows it who would rather create one as opposed to earn an identity worth noticing. She has a very strong sense of entitlement.

She didn’t just lie about her race and she did NOT have good intentions. The reason she got exposed in the first place is because she lied about hate crimes being committed against her. She got caught planting fake racist letters in the NAACP PO Box and claiming they were sent to her by white supremacists. So people started investigating who is this woman and why would she do this, and that’s when her past came out.

Yeah the reporter (Kendis Gibson) is mistaken. Small towns are by some definitions as large as up to 50,000 residents, and by other definitions as small as 1,000 residents. Anything over 100,000 is definitely not a small town. www.city-data.com/smallTowns.html
Right? I grew up in a small town of less than 1,000 and a METROPOLIS of 30,000 by comparison. 200,000 is a city. A legit city. Was he perhaps making a joke, given the topic?
@Minimalism and no poo sucks nobody is jealous of someone like her. Being trans is not the same as something like this. This is a mockery, being transgender is not
Well the way she shunned and distanced herself from her parents with what seems to be for no good reason; Would her irrational crazy behaviour make them feel loyal to her. Her horrible white parents that had adopted minority children.
Yeah. Suppose you're right. Its the details they went into that got me. I guess if I were in that position, where my sibling denied I existed, I'd be inclined to expose the hypocrisy too.
I guess. I imagine the whole family she left behind felt betrayed so she essentially compromised her 'good standing' with them, so by then - sheesh, why not fill in the details. Weird story.
The way she went about this has ruined her life. I’m fine with her passion and her advocacy for my community but you can’t infiltrate an entire race and not expect to receive some backlash. I just wish she would apologize, accept accountability for her actions and begin rebuilding her life again. I think she has done great things for my community but using your privilege to be “trans-racial” is just not ok because I can’t choose to identify as white. I can’t change my hair texture, skin complexion, or the institutional oppression that comes with my identity as a black woman. As smart as she is, I can’t believe she didn’t think about the fact that a lie will always catch up to you. There are white people who have done great things for the black community but they didn’t pose as black they accepted their race as well as the privilege that comes with being a white person in America. Ugh Rachel
I'm white, and I totally agree. Mainly because people shouldn't pretend to be what they're not or lie about their past. She also committed welfare fraud and faked hate crimes(the biggest insult to real victims I can imagine).
Yep, the so-called "installation operation" sucks, I’m 40yo white male and I’m still waiting for my "white privilege," hopefully Joe Biden and Kamala will do something about it.
@shadowbanned1996 same, am a 20 yr old white Australian woman, I am also still waiting for the gift of "white privilege" to befall me! I am also attractive so that says everything about "white privilege"
I don’t think this ruined her life I this made her famous and rich and that’s all she wanted, you do not profit off of a race which you claim you want to help, does not work that way, the insane things people do for fame and money is beyond explanation and incredibly vile
Rachel Dolezal said she identifies as being African American personally, not just because she is an activist or professional. You say you cannot change into a white person, however there are some mixed race African Americans that have "passed as white", and many have gotten privileged treatment for looking closer to being European. Is that fair? I think it's unfair that Rachel's life has so far been ruined over this. She was eventually reduced to doing adult videos on OnlyFans and was fired from her job when discovered. Obviously she's deeply insecure and troubled.
Having affinity for a culture or race, or group of people makes sense. But to transform yourself into something you are not is fraud. It's like the people who pass themselves off as physicians or something like that. There is prestige, money, and respect involved with faking this but the person doesn't deserve it. I have great affinity for Native American culture but I would never declare myself one of them, never.
I know this is an old comment but I'll answer your question. People are angry mostly because she lied on employment documents, that is fraud, a crime, and she was allowed to continue to do so. What would you think if she marked the same section on her college applications to get scholarships based on her race? The same issue would apply, fraud.
@@jessiemartin678 It's sad that in the states you are accepted based on what race you are in college. I agree she did a lot of great things for the African community.
@@jessiemartin678 but being black doesnt bring her privelge elsewhere! what she did is wrong but she didnt steal from anyone. and she might be suffering from a psychological condition, to which she should get treatment.
She is clearly white, and I sincerely doubt she has ever faced the discrimination Black women experience. Buuuut, what makes you think her ancestors owned slaves? If her parents could say that their daughter is of Czech and German ancestry, I am guessing her family came to the US years after slavery ended. And she is from Montana.
imagine being friends with her, relating to her, having her be your spokesperson! and then finding out she isn't even your race and has been living a lie, and lying to everyone! I'm not black but this woman is CRAZY.
She did a great thing. She exposed how stupid people are. A look at here drivers license or State I.D., or birth Certificate would have prevented this.
It's very difficult to believe that her skin color is as a result of natural tanning. In her childhood pictures, she had a lot of freckles, and in general, that would indicate a high level of skin sensitivity to the sun (i.e., burning, not tanning).
I'm black and I always thought this woman got a bad rap from people who should not be so fast condemning her. How many years have black people been made to run away from their blackness, straightening the hair, lightening your skin, watching white people and talking and behaving white just to survive. She was not doing anything racist or to undermine black people's progress from 2nd class citizenship. In fact we needed more white people like her at many stages in our history to overcome prejudice and discrimination. It's not like she's displaying some crude blackface and behavior to mock black people. She did her homework and dove into black culture, learned black history (something a lot of black people should do) and that's all right with me ya'll. get off her case and concentrate on real honest to goodness racists whatever their race.
Yeah stealing black college scholarships and opportunities like NAACP presidency while pretending to be black and telling her family not to blow her cover… then fabricating racial hate crimes towards herself and calling the police dozens of times just to prove that she’s a victim. She sent herself a noose, alluding to lynchings- all to get attention and publicity for herself. This is SICK and mocking black people’s suffering throughout history. All that was exposed in the original reporter interview. What has she done for black people except deceive and mock them? Not to mention the hair and skin darkening. She’s mocking you and stealing from you, and you are falling for it.
She's free to identify and present how ever she wants. That doesn't mean people have to perceive her as black, but it's her right to express herself how she feels most comfortable. Gotta give her credit for the dedication! She's lived as a "black woman" for over a decade and devoted her life to African-American issues. And props for stepping up and doing the interviews instead of tucking tail and hiding in shame after the story broke. I wouldn't have been that brave.
Ok maybe she lied but its sounds like she was doing a great job and a part of her needed to belong she done,hopefully she can talk about what her cause was about.
She thinks she can play black. Like it's something you do for fun. That tells me she actually doesn't have much respect for black people or what blacks deal with despite her "activism". Either that or the black people in her life have been too welcoming. To the point where she thought it was okay to play black
there are very light-skinned Africans, like Egyptians or Afrikaans, which are dutch descendants, but yeah they also have other features that she doesn't have. it's sad though, like she may have dissociative identity disorder from growing up in trauma if you look deeper into her story. she grew up with adopted siblings from Africa, whom she actually later adopted because they grew up in an abusive home and her brothers asked her to adopt them. when someone is mentally ill, half the time, they are so gripped by their illness that they don't seek help, even at the cost of fraudulence. i think it's like an addiction almost, which i believe are always rooted in trauma as well.
If boys can be girls, and girls boys, then why not be able to select your race. Clearly the government's documented preferences were betrayed and they want revenge.
I read that her parents favored her adopted brothers over her. She may have been trying to get their love by becoming "black." What kind of parents would have "outed" their own daughter like that?
She actually earned money based on her lie about her identity. So let us say there was a big scholarship that someone created to help black people. If she got that, a full ride at an ivy league school you are just.. Well that is fine?
drServitis I guess if I steal other people's lands after I slaughtered them for it, force people I kidnap to talk and have names just like me, profit off their cultures, then totally prevent them from supporting themselves and being treated like actual people, and then totally blame them for being pissed off about it and then go shoot 9 of them because I think they are taking over my shit, I guess I could be white too. It's just that simple. I think I could pull it off.
***** Gawd I really have to say it again: She threatened a lawsuit against that same black institution (Howard University) where she was a "black teacher". Her complaint? They supposedly discriminating against her because she was WHITE. She is a compulsive liar and only uses race for her personal gain.
I feel for her... Her parents and brother blasted her. We black oriole have bigger problems. That’s the NAACP fault for not doing a $10 background check. You shouldn’t have to be black to support black people.
Amazing, she really wants to be black. I wonder if she apologize will we give her a pass. I think she has did her part with our community. i think we are being a bit hard on her, yes she lied but she made great things happen for the community by being a poser. Give her a get out of jail card.
I agree it is sad that the parents although loving the children somehow overlooked an important lesson on self empowerment and esteem for their heritage.
Yeah she lied, not it wasn’t right that she lied. But the amount of work she was putting in for African Americans acknowledgement and for their struggles is more than 99.8% of anyone can say, not even other African Americans can say they’re as much of an advocate as she is.
Why would you rat your sister out??? If that was my sister, I would've been like.."Huh? Wha? I don't understand the question." Y'all better learn how to ride.
I find this so weird about she’s literally a white lady dressing up as a black person. But I will say that it doesn’t effect me so she can live however she wants I guess. But she shouldn’t lie
I wish people would back off and concentrate on really bad things happening in this world...If a woman who grew up with such abusive white parents doesn't want to be connected to them in anyway..instead feels connected to her adopted siblings...wants to be like them,look like them...there's nothing wrong with that.Its her right to feel what she does...and just like Rihanna said.Theres nothing wrong wanting to be black...it's beautiful to want to be black. There are some black ppl out there who bleach themselves to lighten their skins......because the white is the only acceptable human color !!!!according to the white supremacists !!!! So what's wrong with bronzers???? Wanting to look black?feel like it because black people, black culture and black hearts are truly beautiful... She's being punished for this one thing so harshly?so heartless?lost her job had to live on coupons... She did ALOT of good things...and most importantly her HEART is in the right place...She is an ALLY!I don't care about the "wording " of her identity!I care about the progress she has brought, the successes she has brought. yes I feel for her...she had abusive parents...And I am glad she doesn't want to identify with that white supremacists, religious behavior and beliefs she was being brought up with. Her parents adopted black kids because white kids were harder to get and the process was more expensive ! Secondly when their white older brother abused the sisters sexually....no one did anything for them..!!why???because of racial identification???have ppl lost their minds???? So now sexual abuse can be ignored just because some ppl don't like how one person likes to identify herself as???likes to feel black? Ofcourse she never went through the slavery hardships...but really why do you wish that apon anyone???? It's enough. Where's the humanity??? Where's equality??she's trying atleast.... But she was slammed for it...and all her good deeds were dragged through mud.. She's just one Woman.... Ppl spend so much time hating!!! Help each other...built each other instead of tearing each other down... To hell with " WORDING" Find some love and compassion in your hearts... See the big picture and don't get stuck on irrelevant stuff. Hats off to this woman for feeling black with her and for her siblings and kids...being the mom and support they needed...creating awareness because yes BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!!!!! She wanting to ,trying to be Black...Makes me proud of her. Those are her feelings,she's hurting no one...she's just helping the cause. So it's time ppl backed off.
@@DC_Rthanks....but a lie that doesnt hurt anyone is it sinful? There are worse things "worse " ppl have lied about.As I said there are real crimes going on...so that should be the focus. Not this case...She is ashamed of her white identity and wants to be like her beloved siblings.Black.Nothing sinful about that.infact I find that beautiful and brave of her.Its time ppl saw the good in all of this..... Thankyou
This woman is low....... No dignity! Either fire her or pressure her to resign without benefits. Reason: lying in her job application! Go to court, if necessary.
rmsolympic1 A lot of mixed people do look completely white. Genetics are tricky. I don't think anyone black would want to be questioned on their blackness, and I think he and the rest of the people associated with the NAACP were just trying to be politically correct and not want to exclude who they thought was a black person.
She looks white to me as well, but there are numerous cases of black people that look white. I mean, Mariah Carey, just off the top of my head. The NAACP would not want to tell Mariah that she's not black enough- and Mariah also uses a spray tanner sometimes.
2theOmega rmsolympic1 troian bellisario is another example. Alot of my cousins are half black but appear completely white with blond hair. You'd never guess they're mixed by looking at them. You really can't judge based on appearance because genetics are really that tricky. I'm mixed myself and I thought she pulled it off quite well, her "black" self looks real similar to my aunt, features and all.
She did her job, she has ties to the african American community and through family. No one got hurt and no one died, and by all means she sounds like she had good intentions. Leave her alone
I still don't understand what is the problem. She can claim whatever race she is. I a mix race person and I check either one of my race and sometimes other.
Pretty easy to see what happened here. Her parents adopted a couple of black kids, and she thought that's what she needed to be to get her parents affection. Why did her parents adopt black kids? Not that there is anything wrong with it, but at this point it's a logical question.
I don't get whats wrong with it. You got people out there buying skin lightening creams to make themselves lighter. People can change their hair, eye colour, heck even get surgury to look like a different person. If she wants to look this way and identify as how some people in society will view her, why not. I mean Micheal jackson was born black, but due to skin condition his skin started to change colour. He got hair straightening, surgury and skin bleaching to combat the uneven tones in his skin, in the end he looked like how society would view white. If he wasn't famous and you met him, he wouldn't be treated as a black man. Black and white are just lables, in reality we are all human. Society has built these lables to put on ourselves, in the end race is a social concept. If thats what makes her comfortable, if thats how she wants to be then why the hell not? Is that not backwards, like saying that black women can go on dyeing their skins light and thats okay to become more white lookin, but it cant be the other way around? We got men becoming women and women becoming men and its completely okay. You got people paying to get surgury looking like celebs all the time, you are in the end looking like someone else. Newsflash, not all "white people" are the sama genes, heck a man who is black and a man who is white can be more closely related than someone who has same skin colour. So if a person can get surgury to look like another celeb, why not this. There are worse things in the world to be upset on than a girl looking how she wants, and identifying as to what suits her in socitys eyes.
You sound like a fool , the woman said she was black and she wasn't. She is white and to respond to your comment about black women using cream to make there skin lighter that different because there not claiming to be white but a light skin black woman. Get it right !
I agree!! Why do people care? She did positive things in the black community. It's not like she made her self look black then went out destroying stuff. People need to realise that we are all the same. All of us are people with souls that are all connected to one another. Who cares what we look like or want to look like.
What's wrong with it well let's see she's not black. She was a black activist and she actually profited off of her lie pretending to be black. She lied to everyone around her and basically pulled a giant con. Race is something you can change you are born a certain race it's not something you can just say is different because you want it to be. It's completely fucked up that she profited off of her "black struggles" and built her life on a lie.
No wonder frauds like this come up, in a world with equality of outcome where you can improve your situation in a specific field by playing the victim card. She learned her lesson at Howard University.
Especially mom& dad they outed her like she killed someone people whose kids commit murders & big crimes get more protection & support from their families with a family like that who needs enemies lol hope they got $ for dragging her smh
"Are your parents white?"
"I don't understand your question"
bravolondon 😂
bravolondon she answered that honestly. Define parents.
The reporter asked her is she was African American and she said "I don't understand your question" lol
I’m surprised she didn’t say yes historically they were.
That’s not the question she said she didn’t understand. She said she didn’t understand the question when she was asked “are you African-American. “

Yeah. Suppose you're right. Its the details they went into that got me. I guess if I were in that position, where my sibling denied I existed, I'd be inclined to expose the hypocrisy too.
Well by the time her brothers spoke out it was already national news. So they weren't blowing her cover.
I guess. I imagine the whole family she left behind felt betrayed so she essentially compromised her 'good standing' with them, so by then - sheesh, why not fill in the details. Weird story.
The way she went about this has ruined her life. I’m fine with her passion and her advocacy for my community but you can’t infiltrate an entire race and not expect to receive some
backlash. I just wish she would apologize, accept accountability for her actions and begin rebuilding her life again. I think she has done great things for my community but using your privilege to be “trans-racial” is just not ok because I can’t choose to identify as white. I can’t change my hair texture, skin complexion, or the institutional oppression that comes with my identity as a black woman. As smart as she is, I can’t believe she didn’t think about the fact that a lie will always catch up to you.
There are white people who have done great things for the black community but they didn’t pose as black they accepted their race as well as the privilege that comes with being a white person in America. Ugh Rachel
I'm white, and I totally agree. Mainly because people shouldn't pretend to be what they're not or lie about their past. She also committed welfare fraud and faked hate crimes(the biggest insult to real victims I can imagine).
Yep, the so-called "installation operation" sucks, I’m 40yo white male and I’m still waiting for my "white privilege," hopefully Joe Biden and Kamala will do something about it.
@shadowbanned1996 same, am a 20 yr old white Australian woman, I am also still waiting for the gift of "white privilege" to befall me! I am also attractive so that says everything about "white privilege"
I don’t think this ruined her life I this made her famous and rich and that’s all she wanted, you do not profit off of a race which you claim you want to help, does not work that way, the insane things people do for fame and money is beyond explanation and incredibly vile
Rachel Dolezal said she identifies as being African American personally, not just because she is an activist or professional. You say you cannot change into a white person, however there are some mixed race African Americans that have "passed as white", and many have gotten privileged treatment for looking closer to being European. Is that fair? I think it's unfair that Rachel's life has so far been ruined over this. She was eventually reduced to doing adult videos on OnlyFans and was fired from her job when discovered. Obviously she's deeply insecure and troubled.
She actually looks better black than she did being white.
she just looks like every other spray tanned girl in the midwest hahaha ive seen girls go darker than that.
You can support black lives and love black culture and people without lying about your ancestry
I'm writing a book about my ordeal called "My Brother The Snitch!" pick it up in stores this winter.
What
Omg 😂
Having affinity for a culture or race, or group of people makes sense. But to transform yourself into something you are not is fraud. It's like the people who pass themselves off as physicians or something like that. There is prestige, money, and respect involved with faking this but the person doesn't deserve it. I have great affinity for Native American culture but I would never declare myself one of them, never.
interesting so you think it's about receiving undeserving prestige/prizes?
people get black features and do nothing for the black community. .she helped the black community. .why are people angry
I know this is an old comment but I'll answer your question. People are angry mostly because she lied on employment documents, that is fraud, a crime, and she was allowed to continue to do so. What would you think if she marked the same section on her college applications to get scholarships based on her race? The same issue would apply, fraud.
Thank u
Silvotore styles97 amen I totally agree, we should rather be admired than hated.
@@jessiemartin678 It's sad that in the states you are accepted based on what race you are in college. I agree she did a lot of great things for the African community.
@@jessiemartin678 but being black doesnt bring her privelge elsewhere! what she did is wrong but she didnt steal from anyone. and she might be suffering from a psychological condition, to which she should get treatment.
When the reporters pause for a few seconds and then start talking,it makes me laugh cause they are just staring at you.
hahah !!! I thought I was the only one who laughed at that for years
Rachel- “I’m black”
Rachel’s slave owner ancestors- “Am I a joke to you?”
She is clearly white, and I sincerely doubt she has ever faced the discrimination Black women experience. Buuuut, what makes you think her ancestors owned slaves? If her parents could say that their daughter is of Czech and German ancestry, I am guessing her family came to the US years after slavery ended. And she is from Montana.
@@farapipsqueek636 I think it was a joke🤦♂️ ..but the kind of joke that might be true and shows hypocrisy. Lol
@@farapipsqueek636 it's a joke. Lighten up Francis
I have black and white and native ancestors and they are still existing today whom are my mom, dad, and other family
imagine being friends with her, relating to her, having her be your spokesperson! and then finding out she isn't even your race and has been living a lie, and lying to everyone! I'm not black but this woman is CRAZY.
She took a Leader position away from a real Black person then made decisions on behalf of Black people
Her brothers said she takes herself too seriously and she needs to lighten up.
0:25 "the more we talk with people in this small town of about 200,000..."
That ain't a small town. That's a city
She did a great thing. She exposed how stupid people are. A look at here drivers license or State I.D., or birth Certificate would have prevented this.
It's very difficult to believe that her skin color is as a result of natural tanning. In her childhood pictures, she had a lot of freckles, and in general, that would indicate a high level of skin sensitivity to the sun (i.e., burning, not tanning).
she looks sticky af she's spray tanned
I'm black and I always thought this woman got a bad rap from people who should not be so fast condemning her. How many years have black people been made to run away from their blackness, straightening the hair, lightening your skin, watching white people and talking and behaving white just to survive. She was not doing anything racist or to undermine black people's progress from 2nd class citizenship. In fact we needed more white people like her at many stages in our history to overcome prejudice and discrimination. It's not like she's displaying some crude blackface and behavior to mock black people. She did her homework and dove into black culture, learned black history (something a lot of black people should do) and that's all right with me ya'll. get off her case and concentrate on real honest to goodness racists whatever their race.
I actually somewhat agree.
The problem is LYING on OFFICIAL employment documents. Thats a big problem.
I agree
This is not what most people are accusing her of.@@malcolmjelani3588
Yeah stealing black college scholarships and opportunities like NAACP presidency while pretending to be black and telling her family not to blow her cover… then fabricating racial hate crimes towards herself and calling the police dozens of times just to prove that she’s a victim. She sent herself a noose, alluding to lynchings- all to get attention and publicity for herself. This is SICK and mocking black people’s suffering throughout history. All that was exposed in the original reporter interview. What has she done for black people except deceive and mock them? Not to mention the hair and skin darkening. She’s mocking you and stealing from you, and you are falling for it.
2:22 "......................and everybody believed her" 😂
her brother said her tan was very progressive😂😂😂😂😂
Family betrayal is ugly.
She's free to identify and present how ever she wants. That doesn't mean people have to perceive her as black, but it's her right to express herself how she feels most comfortable.
Gotta give her credit for the dedication! She's lived as a "black woman" for over a decade and devoted her life to African-American issues. And props for stepping up and doing the interviews instead of tucking tail and hiding in shame after the story broke. I wouldn't have been that brave.
Ok maybe she lied but its sounds like she was doing a great job and a part of her needed to belong she done,hopefully she can talk about what her cause was about.
None Ya maybe she lied?
this never gets old
Yep, never! 😂
It's the gift that makes you want to go back to for a chuckle...it keeps on giving. 😆
Y’all on the same
Timin I am 😂😂😂
She thinks she can play black. Like it's something you do for fun. That tells me she actually doesn't have much respect for black people or what blacks deal with despite her "activism". Either that or the black people in her life have been too welcoming. To the point where she thought it was okay to play black
It doesnt make a difference, her heart and intentions are pure
..she is a human, thats what matters
I'm really confused she looks 100% white even with the braids, how could people not have known??
there are very light-skinned Africans, like Egyptians or Afrikaans, which are dutch descendants, but yeah they also have other features that she doesn't have. it's sad though, like she may have dissociative identity disorder from growing up in trauma if you look deeper into her story. she grew up with adopted siblings from Africa, whom she actually later adopted because they grew up in an abusive home and her brothers asked her to adopt them. when someone is mentally ill, half the time, they are so gripped by their illness that they don't seek help, even at the cost of fraudulence. i think it's like an addiction almost, which i believe are always rooted in trauma as well.
Oh leave her alone!!
It's weird but less weird than trans men pretending to be women
Her white parents and black brothers betrayed her lol
Guess whose parents neglected her?
Rachael Dolezal: "There are many layers to this situation"
= "There are many layers (of foundation) to this situation."
I find it more disturbing that it was her family that outed her. I get the feeling that her parents/siblings didn't like her to begin with.
Exactly I can't imagine going thru all that to expose your child who did she hurt ? I find it pretty sad on the family's part
They told the truth, why is the truth so bad these days?
She looks better faking black.
She is African American and we love her.
guracha bati shes the whitest girl ive ever seen
I am now an aardvark... Always felt like one... I'm transanimal...
Gary Hughes
😂
actually that's a real thing trans species
her hair is good though
joy ntuli LMAO!
Which hair!!! Oooooh I was being NASTY!
THE GRINCH Her fake/real "black"hair
joy ntuli WHICH HAIR? HER WEAVE DREDS, OR HER FEAKY PERM?
drServitis what ever it is. It suits her. Don't hate
Do she has black adopted brothers? The glass un-fogs slightly.
I’ve never known anyone who wants to be black.
Who cares let her identify with whatever she likes black, white or green this is silly to make headline news.
The whole point of her even having to put an emphasis on adopted is just hilarious 😂
If boys can be girls, and girls boys, then why not be able to select your race. Clearly the government's documented preferences were betrayed and they want revenge.
This almost saddens me because this actually inspires and leads to a lot of negative connotations about black people....way to go Rachy. 💀💀💀💀
like ?
@@hanawana she said she was treated badly and discriminated against because she was white while going to an HBCU … what do You think
"This small town of 200,000". a village. a hacienda. But it identifies as a turnip
I read that her parents favored her adopted brothers over her. She may have been trying to get their love by becoming "black." What kind of parents would have "outed" their own daughter like that?
It still doesn’t give her a right to pretend to be another race
@@kookiesandtae. Not to mention send herself death threats which apparently, frightened her sons.
Well technically they outed her after several years of claiming she was black and that her dad was a black dude named Albert.
there is nothing wrong if want to be black.. love from Africa
You know deep down the real problem is that she doesnt like her self and its sad to see.
Why is this such a big deal? Let her be who she wants to be! 😅😅😅
She actually earned money based on her lie about her identity. So let us say there was a big scholarship that someone created to help black people. If she got that, a full ride at an ivy league school you are just.. Well that is fine?
@@anvior45 u tryna get all that money back from obama then?
So if I get myself an NAACP membership. a horrible orange spray tan, and an even worse wig, I can be black to?
hawkermustang No. You have to be on welfare, be a single parent of multiple children, and hate white people.
drServitis Ok
drServitis I guess if I steal other people's lands after I slaughtered them for it, force people I kidnap to talk and have names just like me, profit off their cultures, then totally prevent them from supporting themselves and being treated like actual people, and then totally blame them for being pissed off about it and then go shoot 9 of them because I think they are taking over my shit, I guess I could be white too. It's just that simple. I think I could pull it off.
***** Gawd I really have to say it again: She threatened a lawsuit against that same black institution (Howard University) where she was a "black teacher". Her complaint? They supposedly discriminating against her because she was WHITE. She is a compulsive liar and only uses race for her personal gain.
***** the NAACP is not and has never been a black organization. It is a Jewish organization fronted by Blacks. Check me out on it.
I feel for her... Her parents and brother blasted her. We black oriole have bigger problems. That’s the NAACP fault for not doing a $10 background check. You shouldn’t have to be black to support black people.
Amazing, she really wants to be black. I wonder if she apologize will we give her a pass. I think she has did her part with our community. i think we are being a bit hard on her, yes she lied but she made great things happen for the community by being a poser. Give her a get out of jail card.
Her two brothers betrayed her
Born in Montana, she can't get any whiter than that!
This is just....... What the hell.
My question is, why does her race matter?
BECAUSE SHE'S NOT BLACK!!!
Bad brothers thats not how you do your family
It honestly baffles me people believed her. But also why would someone lie about something like that? She's nuts
I honestly don't see a problem with her claiming that she's black. It's acceptable for people to be transgender , so why can't she be transracial?
She tanned black, her brothers prayed to be white. Tragic.
Technically you can't tan black......a tan isn't black!
+MsVegaslasv Orange is the new black. ;)
MsVegaslasv
Nigga.
Ronald Nelson
The fuck?
I agree it is sad that the parents although loving the children somehow overlooked an important lesson on self empowerment and esteem for their heritage.
Yeah she lied, not it wasn’t right that she lied. But the amount of work she was putting in for African Americans acknowledgement and for their struggles is more than 99.8% of anyone can say, not even other African Americans can say they’re as much of an advocate as she is.
Why would you rat your sister out???
If that was my sister, I would've been like.."Huh? Wha? I don't understand the question." Y'all better learn how to ride.
This is just so bizarre.
I find this so weird about she’s literally a white lady dressing up as a black person. But I will say that it doesn’t effect me so she can live however she wants I guess. But she shouldn’t lie
I wish people would back off and concentrate on really bad things happening in this world...If a woman who grew up with such abusive white parents doesn't want to be connected to them in anyway..instead feels connected to her adopted siblings...wants to be like them,look like them...there's nothing wrong with that.Its her right to feel what she does...and just like Rihanna said.Theres nothing wrong wanting to be black...it's beautiful to want to be black.
There are some black ppl out there who bleach themselves to lighten their skins......because the white is the only acceptable human color !!!!according to the white supremacists !!!!
So what's wrong with bronzers????
Wanting to look black?feel like it because black people, black culture and black hearts are truly beautiful...
She's being punished for this one thing so harshly?so heartless?lost her job had to live on coupons...
She did ALOT of good things...and most importantly her HEART is in the right place...She is an ALLY!I don't care about the "wording " of her identity!I care about the progress she has brought, the successes she has brought.
yes I feel for her...she had abusive parents...And I am glad she doesn't want to identify with that white supremacists, religious behavior and beliefs she was being brought up with.
Her parents adopted black kids because white kids were harder to get and the process was more expensive !
Secondly when their white older brother abused the sisters sexually....no one did anything for them..!!why???because of racial identification???have ppl lost their minds????
So now sexual abuse can be ignored just because some ppl don't like how one person likes to identify herself as???likes to feel black?
Ofcourse she never went through the slavery hardships...but really why do you wish that apon anyone????
It's enough.
Where's the humanity???
Where's equality??she's trying atleast....
But she was slammed for it...and all her good deeds were dragged through mud..
She's just one Woman....
Ppl spend so much time hating!!!
Help each other...built each other instead of tearing each other down...
To hell with " WORDING"
Find some love and compassion in your hearts...
See the big picture and don't get stuck on irrelevant stuff.
Hats off to this woman for feeling black with her and for her siblings and kids...being the mom and support they needed...creating awareness because yes BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!!!!!
She wanting to ,trying to be Black...Makes me proud of her.
Those are her feelings,she's hurting no one...she's just helping the cause.
So it's time ppl backed off.
What You Said Is Valid.... And I Commend You For Having A Pure Heart.... However, Lying Is A Sinful Nature. Just Saying
@@DC_Rthanks....but a lie that doesnt hurt anyone is it sinful?
There are worse things "worse " ppl have lied about.As I said there are real crimes going on...so that should be the focus. Not this case...She is ashamed of her white identity and wants to be like her beloved siblings.Black.Nothing sinful about that.infact I find that beautiful and brave of her.Its time ppl saw the good in all of this.....
Thankyou
This woman is low....... No dignity! Either fire her or pressure her to resign without benefits. Reason: lying in her job application! Go to court, if necessary.
Her NAACP predecessor's claim is unbelievable: she looks White, albeit well-tanned.
rmsolympic1 A lot of mixed people do look completely white. Genetics are tricky. I don't think anyone black would want to be questioned on their blackness, and I think he and the rest of the people associated with the NAACP were just trying to be politically correct and not want to exclude who they thought was a black person.
2theOmega I understand what you're saying, but she looks White to me.
She looks white to me as well, but there are numerous cases of black people that look white. I mean, Mariah Carey, just off the top of my head. The NAACP would not want to tell Mariah that she's not black enough- and Mariah also uses a spray tanner sometimes.
2theOmega rmsolympic1 troian bellisario is another example. Alot of my cousins are half black but appear completely white with blond hair. You'd never guess they're mixed by looking at them. You really can't judge based on appearance because genetics are really that tricky. I'm mixed myself and I thought she pulled it off quite well, her "black" self looks real similar to my aunt, features and all.
RemSenS912
She did her job, she has ties to the african American community and through family. No one got hurt and no one died, and by all means she sounds like she had good intentions. Leave her alone
Except this became a thing because there is evidence that she may be manufacturing her own race based hate crimes and this plays to her credibility.
fwd105 no
Calvin Shumaker this would be awful. I hope it’s not true
Her paintings are beautiful
1:30 HHAHAHAHA the little blonde hairs sticking out of the top of the locs 😆
Every single thing about this story is straight from the onion. The face on BOTH her brothers... Absolutely perplexed hahahah
I still don't understand what is the problem. She can claim whatever race she is. I a mix race person and I check either one of my race and sometimes other.
Omg. Are people going to drag her though the mud all over again. Lol just leave her alone
Nah some of us are here today seeing if this dumb broad was still a it.
Pretty easy to see what happened here. Her parents adopted a couple of black kids, and she thought that's what she needed to be to get her parents affection. Why did her parents adopt black kids? Not that there is anything wrong with it, but at this point it's a logical question.
I don't get whats wrong with it. You got people out there buying skin lightening creams to make themselves lighter. People can change their hair, eye colour, heck even get surgury to look like a different person. If she wants to look this way and identify as how some people in society will view her, why not. I mean Micheal jackson was born black, but due to skin condition his skin started to change colour. He got hair straightening, surgury and skin bleaching to combat the uneven tones in his skin, in the end he looked like how society would view white. If he wasn't famous and you met him, he wouldn't be treated as a black man. Black and white are just lables, in reality we are all human. Society has built these lables to put on ourselves, in the end race is a social concept. If thats what makes her comfortable, if thats how she wants to be then why the hell not? Is that not backwards, like saying that black women can go on dyeing their skins light and thats okay to become more white lookin, but it cant be the other way around? We got men becoming women and women becoming men and its completely okay. You got people paying to get surgury looking like celebs all the time, you are in the end looking like someone else. Newsflash, not all "white people" are the sama genes, heck a man who is black and a man who is white can be more closely related than someone who has same skin colour. So if a person can get surgury to look like another celeb, why not this. There are worse things in the world to be upset on than a girl looking how she wants, and identifying as to what suits her in socitys eyes.
You sound like a fool , the woman said she was black and she wasn't. She is white and to respond to your comment about black women using cream to make there skin lighter that different because there not claiming to be white but a light skin black woman. Get it right !
kanadajin3 You're joking, Right? You can't POSSIBLY think those things are equivalent.
I agree!! Why do people care? She did positive things in the black community. It's not like she made her self look black then went out destroying stuff. People need to realise that we are all the same. All of us are people with souls that are all connected to one another. Who cares what we look like or want to look like.
She isn't black. Her parents are white therefore she is white.
What's wrong with it well let's see she's not black. She was a black activist and she actually profited off of her lie pretending to be black. She lied to everyone around her and basically pulled a giant con. Race is something you can change you are born a certain race it's not something you can just say is different because you want it to be. It's completely fucked up that she profited off of her "black struggles" and built her life on a lie.
Rather than "feeling duped" perhaps they should feel stuped by their own racism
Shame on her family
Um she looks 1000% white even with the tan & dreadlocks. She doesn’t even look like a mixed black her. How can people be so blind 😂
Nobody in this poor woman's family is loyal.. Damn :/
Why they snitching?
Why are they snitching?
No wonder frauds like this come up, in a world with equality of outcome where you can improve your situation in a specific field by playing the victim card. She learned her lesson at Howard University.
man this raises so many questions. crazy
Mentally CrAZY!
THE GRINCH yea kinda seems like that
Chad Kimball IT DOESN'T RAISE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL. SHE'S JUST A NUT-JOB. SIMPLE AS THAT.
drServitis I mean bigger philosophical questions. Rachel obviously has some serious issues but it raises other questions
Chad Kimball What questions does it raise?
And people ask me why I'm getting increasingly paranoid...
Amen to that my friend , and the world we live in is getting stranger , by the second of everyday .
Her family throwing her under the bus.... some family. That part of the story is especially heartbreaking.
Especially mom& dad they outed her like she killed someone people whose kids commit murders & big crimes get more protection & support from their families with a family like that who needs enemies lol hope they got $ for dragging her smh
just because she's family doesn't make her right, and they know that. I ain't mad lol
We should all take a lesson from Mr. James
