A White Past

The parents of NAACP leader and civil rights activist, Rachel Dolezal, say she’s been pretending to be black for years. Rachel is a well known member of the civil rights community in Idaho and Eastern Washington. She is also a teacher of African Studies at Eastern Washington University. Authorities are further investigating the situation after Dolezal identified herself as black in an application to serve on the police ombudsman commission.

According to her family, Rachel began to disguise herself back in 2006. Her mother revealed to reporters that their family background includes Czech, Swedish, German, and faint traces of Native American blood. Dolezal claims that her white father is actually her step-father.. Something is not adding up here. On Wednesday, a KXLY reporter confronted Dolezal about the situation on camera, “Are your parents white?” She immediately took off her mic and walked away.

Dolezal’s response to a simple question raises a lot of eyebrows. Larry Dolezal, her father, could not explain why his daughter would want to pose for a culture that is not her own, according to BuzzFeed News. He went on to explain that Rachel has cut off all communication with her caucasian family in hopes of keeping her secret hidden. Rumors regarding her true background are still circulating, and investigators will continue to dig deeper for the truth.

This young lady needs help. If she is pretending to be black, a simple DNA test will tell. However, what is the criteria for "declaring" someone black? Is it 1/10, 3/10, 0.1%...........?
