Outrage as NACCP president outed as being 100% Caucasian

First topic message reminder :

Well, this is just bizarre – OK, it’s VERY bizarre – the parents of the President of the local Spokane, Washington, USA NAACP organization have come out to tell the truth about their daughter:  she’s white.  The parents of Rachel Dolezal say she has been lying in every way possible about her race.

The president of a local chapter of the NAACP who has identified as partially black on official documents is “Caucasian by birth,” according to her parents, who are accusing her of misrepresenting her identity.

Rachel Dolezal, head of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, does not speak to her parents. This week, they told reporters that Dolezal is white, despite how she portrays herself.

“She knows it’s false, but I think she’s told herself as well as she’s told others this erroneous identity of hers enough that by now, she may believe it more than she believes the truth,” Dolezal’s mother, Ruthanne Dolezal, told NBC affiliate KHQ in Spokane. Ruthanne and her husband Larry live in Montana and have not been in contact with their daughter for years.

“She is Caucasian by birth,” Larry told KHQ.

On Friday in an interview with HuffPost Live, Dolezal’s parents added that it wasn’t their daughter’s identification with African Americans that was painful, but “for her to reject us as her parents is what hurts.”

Ruthanne went on to plead to her daughter, “we love you, please tell the truth.”

On Friday, the NAACP said it has a “long and proud tradition of receiving support from people of all faiths, races, colors and creeds.”

“NAACP Spokane Washington Branch President Rachel Dolezal is enduring a legal issue with her family, and we respect her privacy in this matter. One’s racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership,” it said in a statement, adding that it stood behind her advocacy record.

In addition to her position at the NAACP, Dolezal, 37, is the chairwoman of Spokane’s Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, a volunteer appointment. On the application for the job, she identified as white, black, and American Indian.

Prompted by claims from her parents that their family heritage is Czech, Swedish, German and a trace of Native American — but not black — the city is looking into whether Dolezal violated policy by lying about her race on a job application.

“We are gathering facts to determine if any city policies related to volunteer boards and commissions have been violated,” Mayor David Condon and Council President Ben Stuckart said in a statement Thursday. “That information will be reviewed by the City Council, which has oversight of city boards and commissions.”

“I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY THAT YES, I DO CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE BLACK.”

Precisely...no one would care if they were not, first, interested in opposing an organization aimed at promoting the well-being of black people. That is why it is telling that the conservative Coeur d'Alene Press kept pressing this story on us.

Hate mail is the material evidence that we need to prove that it is a racially motivated issue. On a bigger scale, it proves that America is still fundamentally a racist nation. Events from Trayvon Martin's murder to the Charleston Massacre also show this as well.

It is one more incident in a long line of incidents proving hatred of the black man, for no other reason than the he was emancipated from slavery.

The point is that there is doubt whether the hate mail is genuine or not.

I think in the absence of proof, it must be assumed. It is as any of us could expect: white woman identifies with blacks...reaps hate male from racial corners of the world.

Is the hate mail racist hate mail or hate mail because she's a liar?

It was the alleged hate mail which drew attention to her in the first place.

Yes, of a racial nature.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that a police investigation into hate mail allegedly sent to Dolezal has been dropped. According to the AP, Dolezal claimed to have received the mail at the organization’s post office box, but the envelopes reportedly had no time stamp or bar code. Postal officials said only someone with a key would have been able to place items in the box.

There were also earlier complaints from a few years ago about a noose left on her doorstep, and another about a swastika stuck on a building. I'm trying to find a mainstream news link about it.

Well that's horrid! Receiving hate mail is nasty and finding a noose on your doorstep? Very worrying.

Doesnt excuse her lying behaviours though.

Well some people are questioning the claims.
