***** 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.
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
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?
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?
Yes. They = the black people at the NAACP in Spokane. Any other dumb questions?! 🙄 I was wondering the same thing about her fake tan. But black comes in many different Shades. I've seen black people with White looking skin. This woman suffers from delusions of grandeur.
Funny how the NAACP was Started by White People but now they want to shut Us (meaning White People, Xcaster or whatever tf your name is 🙄) out of the equation almost Entirely. And then bitch about Divide.
@Xastur Speaks most people are mixed now a days. But with Various races. Mixed no longer means Just black and white. It can be Asian and Hispanic, Black (crazy now that you said it like that~ black really isn't it's own Race anymore) and Indian etc
@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
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.
I forgot to get my free phone when I got out of prison last year:( Bad enough I cant ever get food stamps:( im a felon BUT IM WHITE COME ONNNNNN OBAMA PLZZZZZZ
You don’t know her struggles or what she’s been through in life. I knew a guy who seem to have the perfect life but he was molested by a priest. Don’t be so quick to judge people. And there are plenty of white people in poverty. People living in Appalachia have it worse than a Third World country
@Kool Kitties She harmed the Black community by falsely filing 8 police reports alleging harassment based on race. She’s supremely fucked up and a criminal
Everyone wants to be "oppressed". Everyone wants to have gone through a "struggle". Only problem, they don't want to give up their flat screen TVs, desktop PCs, cars, mobile phones, dishwashers and central heating. I suppose if they were REALLY serious they'd go to Bangladesh, move into a corrugated iron shack, and start working six days in week in some fucking sweatshop to MAKE the flatscreen TVs, and mobile phones, and desktop PCs. But then they'd get all dirty so fuck that. Anyway, we have important social justice wars to fight on the UA-cam comment pages. Let the peasants do all the work!
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.
I'm on the fence with this one, while I believe her intentions were good as far as supporting the black community. But, her lying about her race did more harm than good I mean it's ok to be a white person and support justice and equality for a race that you're not a part of. If you look back at the days of Martin Luther King he had white people march alongside him but did they claim to be black?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
On a woman turning from white to black: “it started with the hair... next she had, make a little bit darker of a tan...” how is this not a comedy sketch lmaoo
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
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.
Former chapter President thought it was hilarious in a "what is wrong with these White folk?" kind of way'. LOL. watching his reaction was priceless! 2:09
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 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
"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. “

interesting so you think it's about receiving undeserving prestige/prizes?
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.
Her brothers said she takes herself too seriously and she needs to lighten up.
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.
The whole point of her even having to put an emphasis on adopted is just hilarious 😂
I am now an aardvark... Always felt like one... I'm transanimal...
Gary Hughes
😂
actually that's a real thing trans species
Guess whose parents neglected her?
Oh leave her alone!!
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
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
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.
Every single thing about this story is straight from the onion. The face on BOTH her brothers... Absolutely perplexed hahahah
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 😂😂😂
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.
She is African American and we love her.
guracha bati shes the whitest girl ive ever seen
Rachael Dolezal: "There are many layers to this situation"
= "There are many layers (of foundation) to this situation."
She looks better faking black.
She took a Leader position away from a real Black person then made decisions on behalf of Black people
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
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.
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.
It doesnt make a difference, her heart and intentions are pure
..she is a human, thats what matters
1:30 HHAHAHAHA the little blonde hairs sticking out of the top of the locs 😆
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.
there is nothing wrong if want to be black.. love from Africa
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
This is just....... What the hell.
It's weird but less weird than trans men pretending to be women
Who cares let her identify with whatever she likes black, white or green this is silly to make headline news.
I’ve never known anyone who wants to be black.
Do she has black adopted brothers? The glass un-fogs slightly.
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?
Her white parents and black brothers betrayed her lol
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?
You know deep down the real problem is that she doesnt like her self and its sad to see.
My question is, why does her race matter?
BECAUSE SHE'S NOT BLACK!!!
Her two brothers betrayed her
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
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.
It honestly baffles me people believed her. But also why would someone lie about something like that? She's nuts
This is just so bizarre.
Why are they snitching?
nobody should care bruh, let her live...
Shame on her family
Rachel; SAY IT LOUD!!
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.
Bad brothers thats not how you do your family
I wonder what her dna test says. Seriously. I'm curious.
Brothers are snitches,
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.
They look like Bond villains. Lol. Mr Big and Nick Nack. Especially the shot at 1:41. They look they mean business.
Family betrayal is ugly.
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?
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.
On a woman turning from white to black: “it started with the hair... next she had, make a little bit darker of a tan...” how is this not a comedy sketch lmaoo
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
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.
Born in Montana, she can't get any whiter than that!
Why they snitching?
Former chapter President thought it was hilarious in a "what is wrong with these White folk?" kind of way'. LOL. watching his reaction was priceless! 2:09
IDKWTF to think about all of this, except to say she looks WAY hotter black!..... just saying!
Way to go ABC. Let's do a segment on Elizabeth Warren now.
"This small town of 200,000". a village. a hacienda. But it identifies as a turnip
Im not mad at her. I think shes great
Felecia Mathews
Me too (lol)
Bye Felecia
@star sign Tell me what have you done for the black community then?
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 😂
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.
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 .
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
That bald black reporter guy is really smooth and nice
