Rachel Dolezal hits bottom, keeps digging
Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP president of the Spokane chapter who was born white but now says she "identifies" as black, told NBC News that there was no "biological evidence" that she is the daughter of white parents.
Dolezal, who resigned Monday as president of the African-American advocacy group’s chapter in Spokane, Washington, after her parents said she’d been misrepresenting her racial heritage, told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, “I haven’t had a DNA test. There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents.”
Guthrie noted that Dolezal’s birth certificate includes both her parents’ names.
“I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not,” Dolezal responded. “But I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean, the birth certificate is issued a month and a half after I’m born. And certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth.”
“Have you ever lied about your race?,” Gutherie asked.
“No, ‘cause never have I been asked, ‘Are you human or not human,” Dolezal said.
“You know when someone asks you, ‘Are you black, are you African-American,’ you know exactly what they’re asking you. And for you to say yes, is that an honest answer?” Guthrie clarified.
Dolezal said she had not been asked that question very much before the past few days and reiterated, “Yeah, I do — yeah, I am black.”
By all means, let's get that DNA test done pronto. She's going to need it if she ever goes on trial for fraud. She has been lying about being black for years, despite her assertion that she hasn't. Her lies have allowed her to receive race-based benefits, defrauding the taxpayers. Her only chance to avoid jail is to somehow prove that her parents are the ones who are lying, not she.
This is one pathetic woman who is either a con artist or mentally ill. And every time she opens her mouth, she digs a deeper hole for herself as her life continues to unravel.
