Rachel Dolezal’s Story Gets Weirder: She Considers Herself Black, Not African American + Her Brothers Compare Her To Blackface (VIDEO)

Rachel Dolezal, the President of the NAACP’s Spokane chapter, who’s been outed as a white woman and exposed for lying about her upbringing continues her web of lies in a recent interview. 

You may recall Dolezal became a trending topic after her parents admitted that she had become intrigued with the black race 10 years ago. Rachel’s claims of racially charged hate mail then came in to question and the FEDS have since called off their investigation, after it appears Rachel sent the hate mail to herself. Basically, she’s discredited victims of real hate crimes by 1) not being black 2) creating fake hate crimes and 3) using her hate crimes as media bait.

Rachel claimed that she was raised by black parents to used whips to beat her and at some point she even lived with Native Americans in a teepee and hunted food with spears in Africa. That’s her lie and she’s sticking to it, despite her parents saying she grew up a normal girl in Montana. 

Read an excerpt from the interview below. 

On claiming her Black adopted brother ‘Izaiah’, is her son:

I think that’s between me and him. I don’t think it’s fair. It’s none of their business.

I am that I am his mom, and I do see myself [as his mom]. He’s not my brother. That’s not our relationship.

On Why She Has Chosen to Lie on the Identity of Her Real Parents

First of all, it is a very private matter especially getting into childhood pasts and family members that have had a history of litigation. Number one, I don’t think that there’s any contradiction in my mind or Franklin’s mind or Izaiah’s mind. We are a family unit. My real dad is Albert Wilkerson. That’s who I call that, and that’s all that matters to me.

I do not talk to [biological parents] Ruthanne or Larry anymore. Neither does Izaiah or other siblings.

On her race and ethnicity- ‘I consider myself Black’
I feel like the article was questioning. Really it’s Larry and Ruthanne who are questioning. So what I say to them is I don’t give two sh*ts what you guys think. You’re so far gone and out of my life.

I can understand [the misrepresentation]. It’s more important for me to clarify that with the black community and with my executive board than to explain it to a community that I quite frankly don’t think really understands the definitions of race and ethnicity.

I don’t like the term “African-American.” I prefer “Black.” If I were asked, I would definitely say, “Yes, I do consider myself to be Black.” Whatever [naysayers] say, I wish I could say doesn’t effect me at all, but, unfortunately, people might listen to them or give them a platform they don’t deserve. But I have nothing to say to [naysayers].

Okay, Rachel beloved. You don’t get to call your brother your son because “that’s how you feel” just like you don’t get to call yourself black because “that’s how you feel.” Doesn’t really work that way and never really has. If it isn’t a mental instability that has caused Rachel to behave this way, it’s surely a sick case of entitlement. 

But apparently Rachel’s (black) brothers aren’t exactly on board with her antics either. They spoke with the Washington Post about their adopted sister’s antics and this pretty much sums up their feelings. 

Ezra Dolezal compared his sister’s make up and acts to conceal her race to blackface. “Back in the early 1900s, what she did would be considered highly racist,” he said. “You really should not do that. It’s completely opposite – she’s basically creating more racism.”

Zach Dolezal said that he was forbidden to bring up their parents the last time he visited his sister, and called Rachel’s Facebook reference to a black couple as their parents as “a farce…I can understand hairstyles and all that,” he said, “saying her brother is her son, I don’t understand that.” 

Indeed, Izaiah Dolezal, Rachel’s youngest brother, lives with his sister. Ezra said that when she withdrew from the family, she alleged abuse and claimed custody over her brother, referring to Izaiah as her son.

Ezra reiterated what his parents said about how the family does not speak with his sister, but alleged that “[Rachel] turned Izaiah kind of racist. Told Izaiah all this stuff about white people, made him really racist toward white people.”

So the story gets weirder and weirder. She alleged abuse and took her youngest brother with her, which is why she feels the need to call him her son. She found random black people to call her “parents” and now she considers herself black, not African American, when she’s indeed white as white can be. In fact her parents say she’s Czech, Swedish and German. The un-blackest nationalities possible. 

Someone brought a good point as to why Dolezal’s lies have harmed the black community more than help. Yes, she was head of an NAACP chapter, but under what guise? What good works did she personally perform in her position that did NOT include her receiving added media attention. If you look at the Spokane NAACP’s instagram page, it’s full of pictures of her in the center of it all. She may have finally wanted to feel good at something.

Also, she attended Howard for two years on a scholarship, Accepted paid speaking engagements to talk about the plight of African American women, accepted paid positions to teach and lecture on African American women, all while not being an African American woman. Is that fair? To get paid to speak the lives of other women’s lives? Are there not authentic black women who can talk about their issues?

This is so much more than a woman with a tan and micro braids. There’s seriously something wrong with this woman.
