WA - Civil rights activist Rachel Dolezal pretending to be black, parents say #1

[gitana1]

He's 13 though, old enough to remember the time before the racial deception started. And the adopted brother more so.

It started 10 years ago, when he was about three, so I don't know that he would really remember her being white. And yes, the brother knows that she's perpetrating a fraud. I don't know what his role in it is. Also, just to note, she had a guardianship of the brother. He was not adopted by her from what I can tell!

The court opinion also noted that Dolezal claimed that the university’s decision to remove some of her artworks from a February 2001 student exhibition was “motivated by a discriminatory purpose to favor African-American students over” her.

Unbelievable. RD seems to be a malignant narcissist who cares for no one - black, white, or brown - but herself.

When she applied to Howard, she wasn't yet pretending to be black. I think they expected her to be black based on her portfolio. But then she showed up and wasn't black. My guess is that where her desire to be black took roots.

Even her dad said (sorry, no link, but I recall the interview) that jaws probably dropped open on the day she showed up to schedule her classes.

"eyes were popping, and jaws were dropping".... check at the 6:19 mark.

It is so odd. Because on one hand, she sues and claims she was discriminated against because she was not black. And then years later, she files claims that she has been threatened and harassed for being black. So weird.

Yes, she still had her long blonde hair back then, and wasn't pretending she was biracial.
So if she felt she wad discriminated against for being white (as alleged in her lawsuit) that could explain why she started pretending she was black.

That final paragraph in her 'non-apology' letter is just too much. Donjeta nailed it. It is so self serving, so narcissistic. wow. Just wow. :no:

Precisely. This is too much.

Who else could get booted on her fake tanned behind and manage to describe it like she saved the world while it was happening.

You are on a roll today!!!!

Unbelievable. RD seems to be a malignant narcissist who cares for no one - black, white, or brown - but herself.

Wow. A lot of the traits of that seem to resonate here, Deb:

Malignant Narcissists will go to great lengths to achieve their aim. They can be intelligent, high functioning (hold an important job for example) soft-spoken, charming, tearful/seemingly emotional, gracious, well mannered, kind and have the ability to form relationships. They may lie, falsely accuse, dramatize, smear, cheat, steal, manipulate, accuse, blame or twist to get what they want and feel justified in doing so. Because they are entitled, egocentric and desperate, they do not experience it as wrong. They are determined to gratify their wishes and furious if thwarted. Their desire can be so consuming that there is little comprehension of, respect for or ability to empathize with the other. They lack guilt or remorse and tend to feel or pronounce that it is they who have been mistreated. They can be of any gender, race or social class.

The combination of subtle paranoia, lack of conscience and sadism in Malignant Narcissists renders these individuals scary, dangerous, and ruthless. Because they have not internalized the capacity for restraint, revenge for imagined assaults can be cruel, excessive and unfathomable. Their wish to humiliate and destroy can be extreme.
The brutality can be directed at a specific person and hidden from others. They may torment someone in private and claim that it is the other way around, as masters of this classic form of “projection.” They pinpoint those with gullibility and goodness who might trust too much or be incapable of fighting back with similar measures. For many people, it is not psychologically possible to return the lies, manipulations, deceit, and emotional violence. A modicum of mental health and basic decency preclude this option. Unfortunately, if the Malignant Narcissist is an effective storyteller, unknowing, well meaning others will support his or her destructive actions, and contribute to a horrid, wrenching mess. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blo...02/malignant-narcissism-and-the-murder-parent

I think it's very clear she feels or wants everybody else to think she is a victim of something. She has been regularly alleging hate crimes as of recent years. Before alleging hate crimes due to being black, she believed herself to be discriminated at Howard for being white.

Donjeta-- absolutely brilliant post #493!! Post of the day!!

Geez-- Rachel Donezal is a piece of work in her own, special little category.

And, in closing, I want to say to all of you, that I am proud and humbled to carry the burden-- YOUR burden, and be the voice of the ENTIRE human race, when I post here at Websleuths. I willingly shoulder this burden for cosmic justice for extraterrestrials, as well. And audio animatronic transbiological beings. And muppets, who are not accepted by the puppet community, nor are accepted by marionettes. I speak for these disenfranchised beings as well. Because somebody has to be willing to step up and further the dialogue. (Just don't anyone tell Tricia.....)

I'm not quitting this post, I'm just limiting the length. And despite what you all think, the color of my keyboard does not represent which operating system I choose to identify with. That's my personal business. :takeabow:

Oh it just has to be way more complex than that. No normal person would react that way!!!! Clearly, this woman has had an obsession with black culture and being a hero in the civil rights movement, for years. Long before she perceived herself to have been discriminated against.

She just wants to be seen as a victim who is heroic for fighting for what's right, I think.

Well, I agree. She seemed to have been obssessed with the culture before she went to Howard. But if she went there, and felt like she wasn't getting the opportunities because she was white (as alleged in her lawsuit) that could explain why she started pretending she was black. It would be much easier to advance in the area she wanted to advance if she was black.

Yes, I agree and according to this she was for sure in 2008.



When she was a teenager, her parents adopted four black children. After graduating from high school in 1995, she went to Belhaven College, now Belhaven University, a Christian school in Jackson, Miss., where she became involved in a “racial reconciliation ministry,” her father said.

Ms. Dolezal worked from 2008 to 2010 at the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, a short drive east of Spokane. Marilyn Muehlbach, a minister and board member of the institute, said Ms. Dolezal told people there that she was black.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/13/u...ent-accused-of-lying-about-her-race.html?_r=0

A spokesman for Eastern Washington University, where she has been a part-time instructor since 2010, would not say how she had represented herself there. Scott Finnie, the director of the Africana Education Program, who hired Ms. Dolezal, said that she was a popular and effective teacher, and that although he thought she was black, he did not feel offended by what he had heard this week.

I guess it was a sort of a gradual change but her parents said it started around 2007 and the brother Ezra gives the impression that it started getting serious more recently.

As time went on, their daughter began sounding African American on the phone and then she started to 'disguise herself' from around 2007, her parents said.

It was 2012, and Rachel Dolezal had a warning for her adopted brother as she prepared for a new life in Spokane, Washington.
“She just told me, ‘Over here, I’m going to be considered black, and I have a black father. Don’t blow my cover,’” Ezra Dolezal, 22, told BuzzFeed News in an interview.

Ezra first began noticing a change in his sister around six years ago, including a lot of hair products when he visited her in Spokane.
“My younger sister Esther is fully African-American and Rachel used to do her hair a lot. She really enjoyed it, so she already knew a lot about hair products and started applying them to herself,” Ezra said.
Then, starting in 2011, Rachel began applying makeup to her face to appear “darker and darker” and perming her naturally straight, blonde hair, Ezra said

She already looks slightly fake tanned here in this 2009 photo but apparently she still admitted her true parentage and hadn't yet switched to claiming the AA male was her bio father.
ww.thefigtree.org/dec09/120109hreicda.html

The commenter DS on the NAACP petition (currently i'm seeing her as nr 332) said that she met several Caucasian members of Dolezal's biological family (dad, older brother, and uncle) during Rachel's time at the HREI so if she's for real, apparently Rachel hadn't yet adopted all her lies back then.



According to her Linked In (for whatever it's worth, it looks like she's full of BS) she was at HREI in 2005-2008, and I think in 2009 anyway because the Fig Tree article putting her there is dated Dec 2009
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/rachel-dolezal/34/a55/577
http://www.thefigtree.org/dec09/120109hreicda.html

According to http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/13/u...ent-accused-of-lying-about-her-race.html?_r=1

Ms. Dolezal worked from 2008 to 2010 at the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, a short drive east of Spokane.

If the coworkers met her biofamily it seems like the 13yo son was also likely to have interacted with those family members who weren't committed to the racial deception and gotten a picture of who all was in the family.

According to the paternal uncle, she only adopted Wilkerson as her dad 2-3 years ago.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...r-accused-child-molestation-article-1.2257560

Paternal uncle Dan Dolezal said Dolezal and Wilkerson shared a father-daughter type of bond, but that her characterization of him as her real father bothered her biological relatives.

“I think Albert was kind of baffled as well," said the uncle, 63. “When she started calling him dad two or three years ago, it caused my brother quite a bit of pain.”

Dan Dolezal remains the last line of communication between the divided family — and he holds out hope for a resolution.

JMO but if he's a bright 13 year old he knows that something is a bit strange if someone who was a close family friend before suddenly is his grandfather.

Maybe she felt that being in the ethnic minority may get one a job easier etc than if you are white..and possibly special favors..so in a way reverse discrimination. Or she is just really hoping to be black...and possibly feels she can relate to being black better than white? IDK. We let people be girls that are really boys as someone earlier pointed out..why not color? Why can she not have a color identity crisis/problem etc as some have sex/gender issues? Or maybe she is just crazy? Aren't we all?

 

[Hope4More]

She just wants to be seen as a victim who is heroic for fighting for what's right, I think.

I thought that too, but changed my mind after reading Donna S. on the NAACP petition.

I think Rachel uses claims of victimhood as a means to get whatever she feels entitled to, including power and recognition.

IMO she's a bullying manipulator who has routinely used false claims of victimhood to shield herself from scrutiny and from being challenged. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn this dates back as far as her claims during divorce that her husbsnd abused her, or even earlier.

 

[SweetT]

Yes, she still had her long blonde hair back then, and wasn't pretending she was biracial.
So if she felt she wad discriminated against for being white (as alleged in her lawsuit) that could explain why she started pretending she was black.

Good point. If I did not get into a school because I was "White" then re applied as "BlACK" AND got in...that would be discrimination...might make you want to try and see how far this black thing could get ya.

 

[Elley Mae]

If I am not mistaken this is when it hit the news. I have a feeling that the writer of the article, jeff humphrey for what ever reason, (could have been the fb post), did some digging/sleuthing and found her parents to be white and it went from there.

On the NAACP Spokane Facebook page, a picture was posted earlier this year showing Dolezal and an African-American man. In the post, he's identified as Dolezal's father. KXLY4's Jeff Humphrey asked Dolezal about that claim Wednesday afternoon.
