found an article of a wm in the same county they believed to be black and was trying to award him. they interviewed Dolezal about it http://m.spokesman.com/stories/2015/apr/29/man-lauded-as-african-american-councilman-was/

Dolezal said she was familiar with Oliver’s name from references in books that researched the African-American community’s roots in Spokane. She’s seen a picture of bearded Oliver, who admittedly doesn’t look African-American, but that doesn’t really prove anything, she added.


“Visible identity is just one factor,” Dolezal said. Homer Plessy, the plaintiff in the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1896, the year Oliver took his council seat, was similarly light-skinned, she noted. Plessy was considered “colored” even though seven of his eight great-grandparents were white.


People of mixed race in that era often tried to pass as white “for purposes of survival,” Dolezal said. “Now, that might be seen as a little bit of a traitorous act. Given the time, it’s forgivable, looking back in hindsight.”

This might get me some negs, maybe even get me thrown out the militant trust tree...but she married a Black man, adopted FOUR Black kids, and worked with Marilyn Mosby/ did work for Freddie Grey...

They fire her they gonna look stupid unless her replacement is a prime Angela Davis level militant.


Not defending the lies--but damn she's done a lot of good while in the NAACP. Cac or not.
I agree...I forgive the chick...but it's just like why lie about that:mindblown:...as though no one would find out...I guess her, her husband and kids were like you look good fukk it:pachaha:...but all her professional credibility is out the window:camby:

This is the saddest part of the whole thing. She could have done all that good without pretending to be Black and ruining her legacy/life.

and that is why she has to go, not because she is white, but because her credibility and integrity are shot
IIRC, the NAACP was started and ran by white people initially

What did she do? Provide receipts.

All I could find was her selling fake hair, African inspired art (for hundreds of dollars), filing police reports saying she has been racially targeted (:troll:) even though there was no leads.

Basically.



'Dat while/liberal guilt is a trip sometimes.

I met one of these before irl, talked about how she was travyon and she had a black husband and kids (amongst other things), made me feel all kinds of :scust: & :comeon:. But she didn't hide the fact that she was white like this woman.
