A Civil Rights Leader Has Disguised Herself As Black For Years, Her Parents Say
Defend the Sacred:
According to her parents, she's white. We see this all the time with pretendians, but white people this committed to passing as Black are kind of rare. I mean, lots of people who aren't Black misappropriate Black culture and style, but this is much more extreme. While her parents say it's possible they have a tiny bit of distant Native heritage, this woman is telling people she grew up in a tipi, hunting for food with a bow and arrows.

"Rachel Dolezal is president of the Spokane, Washington, chapter of the NAACP and also chairs a city police oversight commission. Her parents also told BuzzFeed News that she is passing off her younger adopted black brother as her own son."

It's all over the press now.

What a mentally disturbed person she is to carry on that kind of pretense (I can't imagine what she goes through to get her hair to go from straight blonde to kinky dark!) When she is questioned about it, she acts as all pretendians do, by saying "I don't give a s**t what you think".
Even though she has two white parents, she still says "I consider myself Black" (she doesn't like the term African American -- maybe because she has never been near Africa). What a wacko!

I live for days like these. :D
