She is 100% crazy.
eiffuy Yeah so is UA-cam .
Welcome.
No, she is scamming. She knows exactly what she is doing.
You can't be transracial without being motivated by stereotypes.
Roha Arshad Thanks, stud.
Roha very well said, and so very true.
lane bellamy How is anorexia a first world problem when we have malnourished anorexic people all around the world? 🤔 however, I agree that her issues are deeper than race, this woman has so much going on inside that head and needs help.
@@dianachin4849 you can choose your religion, through conversion. You can't choose your race/heritage. I normally support people's rights but she's a mess with this...
@lane bellamy Latin America isn't free of eating disorders and we ain't first world countries.
Man, she is suffering from a complete break from reality.... I can't understand any of her explanations. She just hustles around questions and obfuscates with "big words". Nothing is direct. Her blatant lying is making me so uncomfortable.
I totally agree. She is delusional. I'm convinced she has some type of personality disorder in my opinion
She hates white people and she is white
@@narcissisticawareness I'm over it. Put a large B on her forehead.
@@narcissisticawareness Sounds like a liberal.
she seems lost and confused.
Fernando Pina Yeh, i kinda pity her. She needs help.
She is completely sane. You are just confused in finding out that ‘race’ is just a made up thing so now your brain is trying to catch up
She contradicts herself right from the beginning when she talks about the human race. If there is only one race which is the human race then why do you have to be black!
A lot of money to be gained by lying!
I was thinking the same thing. Smh
@@marialvarez4212 Color is no Race its a color ;)
@@arthousecologne your response is a redirection just like hers
@Billie Jean Sub-Saharan Africans do not carry Neanderthal genes - there's quite a difference genetically there. Neanderthals were fairly light skinned and often red haired.
“Creative non-fiction”??? That’s LYING, girl.
How can she doubt that she is her mother's daughter?? she looks JUST like her !
Whiter than teeth
And what a hurtful attitude towards her parents, to deny your father his parentage and to suggest that your own mother was screwing around when you were conceived. That is the unkindest thing of all.
@@MrRhurbarb 'Specially when her father had throat cancer at the time - classy.
Wow the mother is black too!
Interviewer was so good in a non-threatening way!....
This lady is cray cray. It is also sad to deny your true heritage no matter what it is. It's a beautiful thing to embrace other cultures and nationalities but you should embrace your own as well.
So beautifully put.
This woman is crazy ! The interviewer did a good job calling her on her bullshit
oracle4eva she is a perfect example of what happens when you believe your own lies
oracle4eva She looks more like Side Show Bob than a Black American to me! Are clowns a race?!?
I don't have a problem with her loving the black culture or identifing as black but its the fact that she won't admitt that she was indeed born a white, that's the frustrating part.
@TheMikiros that's the whole point if she admits it then she acknowledges that it's fraud so it goes against the narrative
But it is fraud and the people that worked with her that knew her and had been lied to said that she didn’t need to lie that they would have accepted her anyways but the fact that she just kept lying was what was so disappointing to them, but still she will not admit it even her kids and immediate family are like why are you lying that you’re actually of african decent when you’re not.
Journalism at it's finest! She asked the big questions, the tough questions an followed through in a fashion that ultimately broke through to her, "whom ever she may be.
its sideshow bob.
Patrick Casey ....with a spray tan
Lmfaooo
Sidesshow Bob knows who he is...she doesn't
Omg. Shes so delusional. Shes embarrassing herself. Its one thing to love Black people and their culture but to act like something your not, that's pure sadness.
When asked a targeted question she can only answer with a glib generalisation. Such is the tactic of liars.
Wow her first minute of talking is the most creative way to explain...yes I lied, without saying yes I lied ❓...this is wrong on so many levels ‼️
Im surprised no one suspected she wasn't black before this. Im black and i can tell in her mannerisms, her features, and her way of speaking she is not black, at the most a quarter black.
Hannah Bannanah she can easily pass as half black she looks like comedian/actress Maya Rudolph from Saturday night live

Hannah Bannanah are you serious?? you actually believe there are none of us who look like rachel, have mannerisms like her or speak like rachel does?? how did you even get online, let alone learn how to use a computer??..you are ignorant and dangerous to black people, as well as to the rest of the human race, with your uneducated, stereotyped beliefs!....and hard to believe you are really a "black" person at all, as you claim to be..so, either you are lying [because you sound like a totally, ignorant racist who, like rachel, is pretending to be black]..or you have never been allowed to leave your house..either way, get off the internet, PLEASE!!..my vote: you are lying about being black..because, do you even *hear* yourself?? clearly not!!
*****
just got your freak out message. I don't know how what I said offended you or if you were just looking for someone to yell at. I am african american and all I am saying is that she looks very white. I'm not a racist and I believe we are on the same side, I just think you weren't in all that good of a mood when you saw my post. If I knew people like you were going to be reading it I wouldn't of said it. Don't get offended. Don't reply if you're just going to freak out again. I just wanted you to understand where I was coming from.
Henna Sage I'm sorry if you are but I don't think your black... I think you just said that for arguments sake. Any black man or woman knows we come in all shapes in sizes and complexions. And by the way you said you could tell by the way she talks let me know your white nice try.
I don't know about the rest of it but she looks German Irish. With twists, braids, makeup and a perm...she has looked white to me since she popped up. And yes, black is beautiful and comes in every shade and mannerism. But this...is a caucasian woman.
This is nothing new there's been white men and woman who wanted to be black to the point they would talk ,walk and even try to look black by tanning there skin curling or dreading there hair etc. i wouldn't go as far to say it's black face or racist in my opinion it's just the culture they would what to identify with . It's no different then when blacks try to be white or embrace white culture or other races try to identify as a race there not The problem is when you lie about it when confronted and that's what she did .
This Interviewer is legit yay!
Imagine how long she could have milked the system had she not been caught.
How did she milk the system?
What???? How did she milk the system?? She got that scholarship fair and square!
@@sarahpauline4904 She got a job and scholarship on the assumption that she's black. How's that not milking the system? The fact they gave her the flick when they found out she's white just proves the point!
you're embarrassing everyone all once.
She deserves a gold medal for her mental gymnastics
Ok, if you're gonna crucify her then Bruce better be next, he fooled people for decades.
Um yeah!
***** he hid the fact he was a transsexual for decade's, not from just the public but from his family as well.
***** ok?
***** really? Last I checked Bruce is still acting like a female.
You’re so ignorant
"There are no medical witnesses to my birth." Where was her mom during her birth?
Lol....i cant.....🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait for an interpretation of Rachel Dolezal's story by Family Guy's creators :)
I’m a unicorn 🦄
Hilarious, this never gets old
“I…don’t..understand the ..question .. yes I told you that is my dad and I told you why he couldn’t be there “Lmfao 🤣 😂😂😂”
oh, such a torture to even watch it. plea guilty and disappear to Botswana, done deal
She lied and got caught..end of story........
Hey I know her! That's Side Show Bob's sister!
Trifling, trifling, trifling.
she is way more denial than Brian Williams and Lance Armstrong combined
Deceiver....... and for an agenda
I wish Brian Williams did this interview. Just saying
Grant Rutter
Rachel: Well I mean there's no proof they're my real parents.
Brian: Actually I was there in the teepee that night, and they are.
Frfr...🤣🤣🤣
She's babying her. Big time...
"cray cray cray cray cray cray cray cray cray cray"
I hate how she has an answer for everything to justify herself. It's arrogant.
"Creative non-fiction"
You mean lying?
Ridiculous! She needs help.
She does she's Sick in the head fr
God, she's painful. Wow
If she is unable to answer the simple essential question, she has a lot to hide. She is not as authentic as she is.
If race is as simple as getting a tan then it no longer matters. Time to get rid of the NAACP and affirmative action programs. If it's as unimportant and easy as getting a tan and calling yourself an asian woman then BAM, NAACP and affirmative action have outlived their necessity. It's SO unimportant you can just call yourself Black out of nowhere when you get a slight tan.
WHATISUTUBE I agree with you: if something like this, the animosity Dolezal faces, despite her contributions, love, support and acceptance (up to this point) from the black community qualifies her as "racist", because she identifies as black, being called a "racist" doesn't mean anything anymore.
***** im sorry. i didnt know race was a club you get to join if you get enough brownie points. if that's the case then i say we get rid of it all together. if asked to identify we put american, and then proceed to talk about different "races/clubs" we feel match our personality. ya! =D
How did you interpret this portrayal of my position? It seems pretty intelligible to me that the entirety of my remark addresses what it even means to refer to someone as a racist in a country that wrongly applies it to the non-racist Dolezal.
In your use of the word "race club", it seems that somehow you believe I have used the term. Unfortunately for you and for the sake of having a talk, I did not say it, nor do I see how any of my remarks even resemble the taking of a position on race clubs or group admission.
I feel that you must have had a talk with someone else, or just imagined a position for me, and decided to address yourself. I don't even know what you're talking about.
***** lol, you are right. Totally in the wrong for this particular post, but i did respond above with similar to something else you said (under Byron's post). All in all, after re-reading what you said. i do agree. My sincerest apologies for my mix up.
Nobody was killed. It's fine, I was just a bit confounded is all.
"Her hair looks bad."
*looks in mirror*
"Never mind"
"I have tried to communicate my reality to others, using words to justify or explain why I've made decisions to protect people I love blah blah blah" I'll tell this to the judge when I'm being sentenced for robbing a bank.
this chic it crazy , period
This lady is ridiculous
She is a liar. I was more on her side when this first started, HOWEVER, my opinion has changed. I feel more sad for her than upset with her. SHEs the one who called the police reporting the “hate crime” that didn’t happen, the whole trial against her brother (did it really happen), the welfare fraud (just recently happened, and filing the lawsuit against HU for discrimination against her as a “white woman”. Using being black when it benefits you. On top of that, in her Documentary on NetFlix, she completely dismissed her sons views on doing it. He’s been confined to his room as he continues to be picked on by other kids, the media hounds him, and he just wants to be a regular kid. She didn’t care about that, she wanted to do it and she claims she didn’t get paid to do so. But she tells him she has to in order to make money. I think she has some serious mental issues that need to be addressed. So I went from supporting to an extent to side eyeing and feeling more sorry for her. She now has a new baby she has to support and now she’s facing Federal jail time for welfare fraud.
When would being black benefit her. I thought black people were constantly victimized systematically.
Sideshow Bob
Lies and more lies she tell herself and others!! Smh...at this point she telling lies it doesn't matter if it's a black lie or white lie!.. just know lying!!! is wrong!!! and God calls it sinful...so she needs to repent to him!! SMH...she needs to apologize!! hopefully one day she will do this.
I just want to know what people were walking around thinking this women was black
anyone else thinks she looks terrible for her age girl is not even 40 and looks 50
I'm confused as to why people are asking her "are you really white?".
You can see with your own eyes she is white.
It's irrelevant how she thinks or acts or does her hair, she is a white women with white parents and anything else is just delusional.
Besides, how can she say she feels black or thinks like a black person?
She can assume certain things and hope they are what black people feel, but she can't know...anymore than I can know what it feels like to be a woman.
I could have sex change, wear make up, and in all sincerity truly believe I am female, but I can never know for sure...only a woman can know what it is like to be a woman.
So please, let's stop the nonsense.
She's white, she's a fraud, and she's deeply flawed as a human being...just like Talcum X.
She keeps ignoring the real question you can not change your race so be proud of who you are
SHE WANTS TO BE BLACK....SO BAD
I self identify as native american...give me money now please
Side Show Bob is the father...
Batshit Crazy
It's fascinating. It's like she has no idea she's in a hole and she just keeps digging
And to so vehemently say she’s not white and she doubts her parents are her parents, the story she tells herself and she believes isn’t even practical. I have to now question he credibility with the case she bought against her brother. Those are SERIOUS allegations! I hope she gets help and soon, she is raising Black boys into men. I respect her love if the culture but it’s all in how you do it. The lawsuit is a major contradiction, I’mma be black when it benefits me is what’s unforgivable and offensive!
Changing your name to a West African name changes nothing!
DOING HAIR ON THE PORCH!!! YOU CAN NEVER AND NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND THE STRUGGLE! This is just SAD! But at least she isn’t like the IG/UA-cam young people who claim their black and acting completely IGNORANT!!! They 🤬🤬🤬
It really is sad that ppl just agree with anything said and done in this Country in fear of sounding like they could possibly have a different opinion that is considered the not so popular opinion because they are scared of how it will cause backlash and being bullied by ppl! I know alot of ppl want to keep it 💯 but won't and instead act like they are totally betrayed and impacted in some hurtful way by what this lady did! So what who cares she wants to be a different race and she embarrassed herself but she didn't do anything criminal or to try and hurt anybody! The position she got was given to her because of her knowledge and hard work and color shouldn't be a factor in that and her scholarship also was given to her fair and square and if u ask me in the exact way it should have been given to a person and that was not based on race but based on hard work and dedication! Period!
She didn't hurt anybody!!! Besides her white parents who loved and cared for her and got thanked by being cut out of her adult life and dragged through the mud.
@@token555how ? If she's literally lying for being black I don't get it at all
She's the Bruce jenner of race
to continue the lie she actually promotes ambiguity about her parents.
Her interview is very contradictory and is sad that she disclaimed her parents
Creative NonFiction...
Her parents adopted 4 black boys when she was a kid she grew up with 4 black brothers and she was a black Sister Nobody's talking about that that's why she is so Grateful 2 B black she was programmed at a small age...........❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her race is an alternate fact
From my truth? No, there is no such thing as your truth. There is THE truth, not your truth
There's 2 surefire ways to test her. Make her dance and test her food seasoning ability
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
So I guess she is admitting that there are different values and such between black and white people.
How can she be afro-American - I mean, her dad stuck around and brought her up for starters! ( sarcasm alert for the Americans )
The woman interviewing is a brilliant interviewer!!
Its Savanah Guthrie.
If you look closely you can see her hair is also fake. That interviewer did a great job knocking her down with every word
THE GIGANTIC QUESTION IS, HOW DID SHE GET THE JOB.
IF PEOPLE START FINDING OUT HOW SHE GOT THE JOB AND WHO HELPED HER GET THE JOB, ALL THE ANSWERS WILL COME EASILY.
The even bigger question is why did nobody say you aren't black ?
Why the CREEPY SMIRK everytime she answers a question? Loose the CREEPY SMIRK and maybe she would look more sincere. Lol
She’s blonde and fair skinned underneath that disguise. She is whiter than the interviewer.
I don't think she is confused at all. I think she saw an angle to make a career out of being a professional black person and carved out a nice little thing for herself, taking opportunities which were purposely created for black people. A hustler, plain and simple.
This woman makes C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man look politically correct.
Hmmm, I feel like KellyAnne Conway watched this interview and other interviews Rachel dis and was like - OMG Eureka - alternative facts! Rachel has the spirit of a Miss Anne and a Karen. Black women are not owning this mess - sorry Karen's this one is yours! Is this payback for Michael Jackson?
Coo-coo
The Cringe-o-meter overheated, exploded, and flew into orbit immediately when she answered.
Yep. Nuts.
So what she identifies as a color! Seriously like she wasn't hurting or doing it for something evil or to hurt anybody from what I understand she did great things and was very knowledgeable on African American history.
Human isn't a race
She still look white
Every moment for this woman is a huge CRINGE!
She's like a Dave Chapelle sketch.
She claims there was no birth certificate until a month and a half after her birth. It takes six weeks to get a birth certificate...duh.
Also, the their were no medical witness b.s umm...ya...I think the doctor, nurses and staff assisting your mother's delivery would qualify as medical witnesses
Guess we can all ridicule her for wanting to be defined 'black' , if that is her truth let her live it, people are calling her out, but she seems a bit lost and that's quite sad. Whatever she contributed I'm sure she made a huge impact, but dear Rachel come to Africa and then you will really see what being black is all about.
SHE IS WHITE !!!!!
And now to learn she has been fired from a teaching position because she has an Only Fans account. She is definitely entertaining.
Cringe fest
We have the whole world ' assimilated ' ,to white standards, lifestyle and culture, we have black men acting like white women ( complete with " birkin bags "? ) so if
Rachel wanna be a ' black woman ' ..then please just leave her alone !
LOVE YOU RACHEL.. " STAY BLACK "
she is actually rejecting the trauma inflicted upon her by her parents watch the documentary
I must say whatever she proclaims to he, she definitely speaks w intelligence but I must say, Rachel have some identity issues. I knew ppl like her...
Just keep lying. Look like you don't know you're lying and then everything will come out all right!
This chick can't victim hunt or be held less responsible if she made it her job (doubting her birth parents). Own that you got caught lying. my goodness
those people who she says, she has no proof are her parents but she knows who raised her(yet has never gave an answer or identified who the person or people were who did raise her), well who paid for her tuition(once the suit was thrown out) at howard university and why would the same people who claim to be her parents adopt other children to raise if they weren't even able or willing to raise their own biological child????
I don't think she's lying and even if she is, I can see why she would. If she wants to be black, then let's give her a chance. All lives matter. Including her's
Uhhhh you can't just choose to be black if clearly you are white. How bout she get that black treatment she gone hurry up and Holla I'm White.
Interesting how she just says from her truth!!.lolol I'm loving the b.s.!!
This woman is delusional. Anyone that says "my reality" or "my truth" is simply refusing facts.
This was such a big story. Here, 8 years later, it would barely be reported on.
She’s totally mental in the head
