Rachel Dolezal and #WrongSkin [Darleen Click]

Elizabeth Warren, courtesy phone please

An NAACP leader’s parents have made a startling revelation: their daughter, for years a highly visible civil rights activist in Eastern Washington, is white.

Rachel Dolezal, Spokane’s NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington University, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her parents say.

Her mother even offered photographic proof. While today the 37-year-old divorcee currently sports tight, dark curls, her mom Ruthanne Dolezal showed KREM photos of the fair and freckled blonde daughter she once knew.

Dolezal is now facing a city ethics probe after she identified herself as black in an application to serve on a local police ombudsman commission – a position she secured. […]

The Dolezals remain in Northwest Montana, where Dolezal grew up. It is not clear why they have now shared the revelations but Dolezal has previously said that she no longer has any contact with her parents. In articles in the Easterner, she claimed they were violent towards her.

But her father denies this and said that Dolezal cut off all communication with them and doesn’t want them to be seen in Spokane ‘because we’re Caucasian’, Buzzfeed News reported.

Rachel has also claimed a fair number of “hate crimes” directed against her, none of which have ever been solved.

In a more recent claim of racially motivated harassment, Dolezal made local headlines early this year when hate mail was supposedly sent to her at the NAACP post office box in Spokane.

However, police reports on the case revealed this week that whoever placed the letters and packages into the box would have had to have the key because none had bar codes or stamps.

Then there’s this wonderful bit …

Sadly, reading the replies to Elfwick, there are people taking him seriously.

Add in “Caitlyn” Jenner and the whole identity politics schtick has jumped a lake filled with sharks.
