lmao

quote:

Controversy is swirling around one of the Inland Northwest’s most prominent civil rights activists, with family members of Rachel Dolezal saying the local leader of the NCAAP has been falsely portraying herself as black for years.

Dolezal, 37, avoided answering questions directly about her race and ethnicity Thursday, saying, “I feel like I owe my executive committee a conversation” before engaging in a broader discussion with the community about what she described as a “multi-layered” issue.

“That question is not as easy as it seems,” she said after being contacted at Eastern Washington University, where she’s a part-time professor in the Africana Studies Program. “There’s a lot of complexities … and I don’t know that everyone would understand that.”

Later, in an apparent reference to studies tracing the scientific origins of human life to Africa, Dolezal added: “We’re all from the African continent.”

local NAACP members said they had a hunch she might not be black but didn't want to ask lmbo

"In 2000, Doležal earned a bachelor’s degree from Belhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi, and a master’s degree in 2002 from Howard University, a historically black university in Washington, D.C. She taught at Howard for two years before moving to Idaho. “Coming from a trans-racial family that has hop-scotched to a variety of racial-tension areas, I have seen racial hatred in many forms,” she says. Her artistic and human endeavors have everything to do with her “connection with the core undercurrent of the human experience” which she says attaches her to the creative process, and feeds her work."

I know what it's like to be black, coming from a czech and german household

I've been wondering whether anyone has ever had cosmetic surgery to make themselves look black, like how skin bleaching and stuff is used in the opposite direction. This woman was in the perfect position to benefit from it but was too lazy to do anything but frizz up her hair :mediocre:
