- One year ago, Rachel Dolezal, who was the head of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP, made headlines when it was revealed that she was white by birth despite identifying herself as a black woman for decades. She tells TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie she’s “ready to move on” after a difficult year, though “I don’t have any regrets about how I identify. I’m still me.” And she shares that she’s writing a book about racial identity.

Rachel Dolezal Writing Book On Racial Identity, Has No Regrets: ‘I’m Still Me’ | TODAY
Everybody wanna be black until the cops show up.
right😂👮
Actually, I'm perfectly happy being Asian/Caucasian...... Ya know, it's ironic how "black" people in Europe don't have these problems.... but we have noticed that "African-Americans" who visit Europe and brake the law ---seem to blame their outcome on racism. I suppose if people were willing to face the mirrors given to them, we would have already reached world peace.
+Basic_Psychology Hope you realize it was a joke.
+Basic_Psychology racism exusts in europe as well, you've just missed it
Yezzir you said it! 👏👏👏
This woman takes herself way too seriously. She needs to lighten up...Literally.
lmfao
Oh my goodness 😂😂
This woman needs to be psychologically evaluated.
+jed52 so do all the individuals that identify as "gender neutral"..
and you need to check if she isn't multiracial
I identify as President Obama. Where's my nuclear codes?
Lol 😂
😂😂😂 this is the best one yet lmao

I identify as David Cameron, where is that dead pig?
+Babies with Mohawks I Identify as you, I want access to your funds David Cameron.
Why are people entertaining this? It's insane, she's insane!
+Hazel Greene well if a man can become a women, then the next logical step is trans racial.
Exactly!
+World E A man can't become a woman though.
All SJWs are insane.
ikr! i don't know who's crazier, her or jenner
You can identify as a race horse, but that doesn't mean you're eligible for the Kentucky Derby.
Have you even seen Racing Stripes? Educate yourself!!!!!!!!!
***** Oh I have, but I'm pretty sure that's a fictional comedy.
How dare you insult my entire belief system.
***** Sorry not sorry ;)
😂😂😂😂
I self identify as a unicorn
+Alex Reddy Im biracial half mermaid half unicorn
+thehoneyeffect lol
im half elf half human
Omg I spit out my juice lol lol
Daniel Ray you benefit from human privilege being half human
Her name is Rachel and she's trans-racial lol.
+BEyondDaGamer and Caitlyn Jenner is trans-gender (it rhymes. lol)
I IDENTIFY AS AN ATTACK HELICOPTER
Laura is life, Laura is love. Lol.
Same
I thought I was the only one
+GreenYoshiHD ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL SOI SOI SOI SOI
I identify as a white girl who identifies as a black women.
I'm a trans billionaire. Give me my money I identify having.
I hope you got your money 😂
She's CLEARLY crazy, I don't get how this helps any.
"Just try not to sweat it." ...Because if you do, your bronzer might smudge.
where is the reporters top lip. its freaking me out to watch her talk
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's sorta prejudiced, I'm going to be honest, I'm tired of seeing white Chicks plump up their lips because of people like you. Why can't people be happy with what their born with. These comments encourage the behavior of this lost woman called Rachel Dolezal.
+AmiNunni its not "prejudiced" to not like someones lack of lip...
That's how white peoples lips are.. Like a slit wound. Remember Kylie jenners old lip? Lol
i identify as over 65 so I can get social security money
I identify as Harambe.
When parents say, "you can be whatever you want sweetie"🙍🏼🤔💁🏾
i came here to dislike, bye.
If she wants to be black, who cares!?
agree
that's not how this world works..
Because she's basically making the black struggle a game of dress up.
+dudelivestrong everyone expect you
+dudelivestrong anyone with even the slightest inkling of what it means to be a person of color, and specifucally an african american, over the span of the last 450 some odd years in North America. That's who.
"Why do want to go back to that world view of separate races" "I identify as black" Is she trolling us all.
I've read the book already and it goes like this: "Poor me, poor me, poor me!"
Just a few more years and I will finally be able to identify as 3CPO.
haha
you mean c3po
+Jenn Janson Stop oppressing me
+morrokbyo Best possible response, lol
"That lady is black NOT." - Borat
This is not a complex subject, though Dolezal would want you to think otherwise. She is white and lived her life while telling others she was black. She lied about who she was and her credibility is still nonexistent since she is unwilling to admit the lie she was living. That she wants us to understand the 'me of me' of Dolezal is a psychiatric study in and of itself! She has yet to come to terms with who she is, and to think this interview explained anything more than what we already know of her is to deny the evidence, as she does.
@@darcyperkins7041 ...fine.
Gee I wonder what 'race' her children are?
White Black Yellow Green Red...who cares. we're all human. Love has many colours. it's only Love in the end.
this woman is a disgrace, but on the other hand I am a duck I know I don't have wings or feathers or a bill or quack, but damn it I am a duck !
Rachel Dolezal is black? I mean back!!
She actually looks better with all the fake blackness, proving black features are more attractive
***** no, preferences :)
I totally agree
shaolintiger88 I like what I like, attraction is physical first. You want to use that word "racist" from out of your ass. You said "superior" because that's the only thing you ignorant whites think about, when i didn't even use or imply that point.
Sara Nuh I know right ? :)
***** probably the white man slapping books out of your hand right? lol
skin color has nothing to do with personality wtf
I identify as an ant. Don't step on my homes I'll sue you!!1!!!!!11!!!
"Creative non-fiction?" = lies
I feel like people need to get off her back. Ten years ago most of the medical community and people would of said the same thing about Transgender people. Who is to say Transracial doesn't exist we are constantly discovering more and more about the human psychology. I personally don't want my kids generation if twenty years time looking back and thinking "what bigoted racist people they were in the 2010s". Lets elect trump and complete this whole thing.
I see your point but there is other ways for what could be transracial to occur rather than genetically. We have seen imprint and PTSD effects on humans where they disassociate themselves and register as different people.
Also I think the fact three different universities are now looking into Transracial research shows there could be something there. Also it's 2016 now if Rachel is exhibiting a racial genetic link we've rarely seen or if this is a mental condition either way as far as I know she wasn't running down the street in a KKK outfit shouting "We blacks should agree with these dudes".
+TFMash55 True
But Trump is racist. So more than likely if he is elected your children will be living under a racist president...
She's white. Not black.
If you can show me the difference between Caucasian and Ethiopian on a neurological level (the level that affects behavior), I'll nominate you for a Nobel Prize.
Until then, there is no genetic variable between "white and black" aside from skin/hair gene expression.
She's just trying to stay relevant.
You're still you? Cool. We still don't care.
I identify myself as a cloud
And No if I was a clown I would be Wacko the drunken clown
im white and "asian" but I identify as an American first, and then culturally as white. I prefer cheeseburgers over noodles and rice. is that wrong?
what's "asian"
d7mbäßß ñ8gg34 It the UK it means the same thing as "East Indian" to us here in the States. Asian to U.S. obviously means people from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China, etc., etc...
I don't know think it is wrong but it does seem a little naive. I am curious as to if your facial features are Asian. If your facial features are Asian, people are going to consider you as Asian before they will consider you as white.
In the US, it is your ethnicity first and your nationality second. For example, African American, Asian American, Cuban American, Mexican American, Native American, etc.
I identify as magical liopleurodon. I shouldn't have to have a full time education!
If Caitlyn Jenner is a woman Rachel dolezal is a black woman
the same people attacking her for identifying as black are there ones who think it's OK for a man to identify as a woman. How can you have one and not the other?
"Are you African-American?" No; I'm SideShow Bob.
My parrot identifies as a potato
I identify as an orange marsupial wearing blue jeans.
😂😂😂 Seriously! After reading your post I laughed out loud!
her perm game is on point, it must not be good for her hair though
+Blockkingdom its a weave.. she said as such last year.
Pursuing Ancient Paths ooooh hell naw she ain't even natural
Blockkingdom Shes a white woman. Her hair is straight as a board like mine. So she has to put a weave in to makeit look like "mixed" hair- she admited as such. Its absolutely ridiculous.
Pursuing Ancient Paths well you do know that you can get those results with a curly perm right
um... I think it would be pretty hard to get her natural hair to look like that with a perm. But either way she was asked and she said it was a perm.
i identify myself as quagmire. hey meg, 18 yet? giggity
This chick is crazy.I say let Oprah a black women interview her with the hard questions LOL!
Night Rider, Oprah goes easy plenty though. So unimpressed with how she was with Lindsay Lohan. I admire how compassionate she was, but she let that girl waffle no end without calling her out.
I'm black and in not offended or bothered by this woman. If she want to be black or whatever then let her. Why is it okay for Bruce Jenner to identify as a woman then? It's all the same.
+Sarah Cleary ....but it is 'not alright' for Mr Jenner. It defies the reality of the 'meat and two veg factor'.
shes the opposite micheal jackson
I identify an attack helicopter.
so she admits she was born white but then supposedly a magical fairy came down and bopped her black??
+Miranda LaRue yup and that was when she went to a beyonce concert
I self identify as a potato.
+Anna Tanner same but only on tuesdays
What a troubled human being. Her parents are probably like WTF. Her kids are probably like WTF. Her kids friends are probably like WTF. What a deranged woman.
I think everyone is mad because its shocking and they feel deceived. But I believe that because her brothers are black, she tried to be black to fit in with them. And because compulsive liars actually believe their lies..she started to believe she's black.
I agree. I don't know what to medically call it but it's like people who act as though they have cancer so they can go through certain things and feel special or important.
She may have seen the treatment her brothers received from society and wanted to be a part of the that. Wanting to be included in the suffering.
Why is it okay for a man to identify as a woman but not for a human to identify as a different race? I really dont see the difference or the logic behind praising one and hating the other.
+msmissy9976 gender isn't something your. one with,it's merely a social construct. you are born a sex which is your chromosomes.Gender is not biological ,but something taught after birth.people who ate born with two genitals is a birth defect.Our chromosomes are figured out 48 hours after conception so that kills literally any " born in the wrong body" arguments . Gender also has nothing to do with people taking artificial hormones,cutting up their bodies and getting plastic surgery.Fact is these both according to science is a mental illness.Its just taboo to talk about. They are likened to anorexia ,since anorexics also don't identify with their body.Nueroscience literally confirmed this last year and they are taking strides to get transgender people the proper psychological help. I'd research it if I was you.
Why were people surprised? She is clearly not black!
+Andrew Hurrell I think it was racist to pretend to be black for years.
i indentify as a toaster so pls dont judge me
Saying that you are black when you aren't black is a LIE, LMFAO. Nobody is condemning anyone for loving or being a part of black culture and things even when you aren't black, but why are you saying you're black?
I agree but when we let people change their genders why can't someone change their race? To me you can't have 1 without the other
Mitch Charles If you are speaking about transgendered people. Transgendered people have different brains than people who aren't transgendered. As in, if you take an MRI and look at the brain, a transgendered person has a noticably and completely different brain from a cisgendered person. This makes being transgender a legitimate thing, unlike race, which every race has the same type of brain.. lol so.... you can't really compare the two because transgendered people don't just randomly become transgendered and it's not a mindset.
If "transgender" is accepted then "transracial" should also be accepted. This is a glitch the matrix hasn't been able to resolve yet. 2 Cor. 4:4
black people can bleach their skin, straighten their hair, and wear hair LITERALLY from the heads of other ppl(weave from indian, brazil, malaysia) and white ppl don't get mad. but when a white person does it, it's not okay? Racism won't end if people don't get rid of these double standards.
yes that's true but blacks don't identify as white
+Joseph Walker Realistically you can't speak for all African Americans, because in reality there are some who see their identity differently like she does.
They say; " Once you go black you don't go back. " but damn ..!
Reminds me of Ali G. When people treat him rudely in interviews "Yo! Is it because I is black?".
5:40 Did she seriously just say "Racism created race"??????
because there is literally no difference at all between black and white people her saying she feels black is one of the most racist things anyone can do or say. thinking that all black people feel or act a certain way is the definition of racism.
Thy used to treat people for thinking they were someone else. This woman is mentally ill stop treating her as a celebrity
She is one mixed up lady......
Let this women be. There's no reason she shouldn't enjoy life as any kind of person she wants.
I am a man but am gona say i'm a woman on my job application so i can get a job because of affirmative action and beat out much more qualified men.
if you don't want your race to define you than don't but stop pretending to be a race your not
she might know and understand the culture but she will never be one of them.
We Are One people with many different cultures
I'm sure in 10 years it will be acceptable for me to identify as a cat..
+Daniel May if so i will identify as a cat as well, sleep whenever i want, no work and no one will yell at me for licking myself; the dream (:
+Daniel May
Boy you're in for a rude awakening when you look up tumblr otherkin.
So how is this different from transgendered people?
Will Jean it's not
this white women remind me of all the different races that wanna be black so Damn badd
I identify as a 65 year old so now I claim social security
She lied! That's why people are so furious with her
$20 says she's going to be an alcoholic.
This is disgusting. She deceived everyone
I don't get why people feel its soooo shocking that she would want to be black as if we are saying to be black is absurd ore who in their right mind would want to be black. Plenty of light skin blacks have passed as whites. I think we are subconsciously saying black is a poor choice to want to identify with.
No people are saying that it's bullshit that a white women can get away with pretending to be of a different race. And yes the hardships of minorities in this country have to come to play.
Ah, the reverse Michael Jackson, he he
lmao how did anyone think she was black
The woman is nuts! And whats with that mop hairdo?
she seems nice but she talks in riddles
I mean, it makes just as much sense as someone being a transexual.
not reallyyy
+Jannara R how
+Flamingo Bill There are studies that prove that gender and sexual orientation is "pre-set" in a person's mind. It's not a choice. Trans people experience gender disphoria, which you can look up. It's not fun. On the contrary, nobody ever experiences "race disphoria". Nobody commits suicide because they are the "wrong race".
The difference is that race has nothing to do with personality. She wanted to be part of a community so she changed her appearance and lied about how she grew up and was socially. While race and gender are both social constructs, gender is a spectrum based on personally identified femininity and masculinity; race has to do with heritage and physical features.
+Vienna Jordan I'm not saying either one is wrong. I'm not taking a side because it doesn't effect me whatsoever. if someone wants to be a different gender or race, I don't care. I was just pointing out that I didn't see a difference in the two. as for studies, I don't think there are any disproving that this isn't a "real thing"
She lies to herself so you know she is going lie to us.
Everytime i see her now i think of the lyrics from queen speech 4 😂😂😂
UNOOOOO truss me "I got a lightskin friend that looks like Rachael Dolezal"
+danny garcia YESSSSSS😂👏
same
+Danny Garcia that line was a play off of a Kanye west line on Michael Jackson in the song slow jams.
I identify as mayonnaise
She isn't black.
She's also a big Bernie supporter! #FeeltheSunBern!
And?
+britney garza the sun burn -> darker skin; it's a pretty funny joke
Devon Austin Yeah, I got that part I just didn't get her saying a Bernie supporter but oh ok.
Thank you Bruce Jenner...for all of this. 😂
Nooooooooo☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
she's playing you all for fools, but not the fools you think you are (or were)
she's a performance artist and her book is going to make her a lot of money highlighting the hypocrisy of identity politics.
+Lupi33 ....you give her far too much credit! She is disillusioned and nothing more....not the genius or 'performance artist' you might want to think of her.
tragic and disgusting
I don't care what she does with her life but it's really funny to see her try and make sense of this and trying to get people on her side hahaha
WGAY SHE DID A TED TALK FOR WHA
I always notice people will say "I don't understand what you are saying". I think they do understand what you just said its just away to avoid the question or comment. Its an avoidance technique. She just doesn't want to answer the question, it causes discomfort and anxiety. Its obvious she is not going to change. I feel we should just let her be what she wants to be. She is not really hurting anyone. I find her an attractive lady and seems fairly pleasant intelligent person.
That's like how she answers questions that could be just answered with one word. "Are you black?" for example. This is like if someone asked me if I ate the last piece of cake and I go.
"Well, I think we need to really ask ourselves about the possibilities. When you consider that we can't rule out the cake slipped into another reality, you then realize that it deconstructs our notions and understandings of cake consumption. Therefore, it's not a simple question to answer."
Go on sister, do your thing.
"Creative Nonfiction" LMBO!! 😂
I live in Spokane and a lot of people smoke meth.
Literally crazy
She is still in denial!
I love how she uses linguistic gymnastics to get out of admitting any guilt lol.
