WA - Civil rights activist Rachel Dolezal pretending to be black, parents say #2

[sonjay]

His mother raised him as a single mother. He claims he doesn't know who his actual bio father is, but that the man listed on his birth certificate isn't his bio dad.

Or maybe she was married, but she identified as a single mom.

Controversial former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal says she’s pregnant.

Dolezal, 37, is in her second trimester and expects to have a boy, she told celebrity gossip site TMZ

Any chance she is merely identifying as pregnant?


Sorry. Snark (but not very sorry)

Maybe she used a sperm bank? Then she could idealistically create and choose which race/s she will direct her child to identify with? (Pygmalion style, of course. Maybe she will name her son Paphos?)

I wouldn't put to past her to intentionally design and create another social experiment to exploit. She's sure done that a couple times now, lol!

Anyway, being unemployed and a pariah, she will have lots of time to attend to caring for her healthy pregnancy and newborn, right? That's a better use of her efforts, IMO, than the fraud act she's been doing for 10-15 years now.

I wonder if she is discussing the pregnancy safety of her regular spray tans and tanning bed use with her doctor? Maybe she doesn't care?

Okay I've decided to self identify as a spoiled house cat. I'll be sleeping in your sock drawer if you need me, although I'll likely just yawn at you. Meow out.

Earlier this week, Rachel appeared on The Real. Here is the full interview. What do you think? I personally, just from listening to her and watching her face and body language, find her very unsettling. It almost reminds me of some of the stuff I've heard and read about sociopaths.

Looking a Lil bit more like a white girl in that interview, huh?

Whoa. She looks totally different. Not just more white. And man did she ever get skewered. Her replies were ridiculous, and clearly the audience thought she was a bad joke. I also noticed that Rachel didn't go full out on pretending she was a sister. Knew she would get whacked even harder, methinks.

IN FULL COLOR: RACHEL DOLEZAL TO PUBLISH BOOK IN MARCH

Outrage at race-faker Rachel Dolezal after she publishes memoir about 'facing discrimination while living as a black woman'

Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...al-s-new-memoir-immediately-met-backlash.html

Rachel Dolezal's memoir won't be released for another five months, but already the critiques are starting to pile up.

The former NAACP leader, who became a national sensation after it was revealed she was a race faker, announced her book was available for pre-order on Amazon.

Dolezal's Instagram announcement about her memoir, titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World, was immediately met with backlash.

The $15 hardcover book, which is 256 pages, will also discuss 'the discrimination' Dolezal claims to have suffered 'while living as a black woman'.

'Her story is nuanced and complex, and in the process of telling it, she forces us to consider race in an entirely new light,' the synopsis concludes.

'Not as a biological imperative, but as a function of the experience we have, the culture we embrace, and, ultimately, the identity we choose.'

RACHEL DOLEZAL: 'I'M NOT GOING TO STOOP AND APOLOGISE AND GROVEL'

The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/25/rachel-dolezal-not-going-stoop-apologise-grovel

Dolezal’s desire to correct this misperception in her book is entirely understandable, but I wish someone had told her that readers can only take so much misfortune before doubt sets in: I have never read a more exhaustive encyclopaedia of outlandish injustice.
In person, by contrast, she comes across as highly credible, and her central claim that a lie can be more honest than a biological “truth” has an internal logic. I don’t think Dolezal deliberately or knowingly lies. What she calls her “creative non-fiction” does, though, make me uneasy.
She has admitted to fabricating needless deceits in the past – she once claimed to have been born in a tepee – which makes me worry that her subjective concept of truth matters more to her than veracity.
The way she justifies her race discrimination claim against Howard feels more telling than I think she realises: “I felt I was surviving in order to protect other people. It was my financial aid package that Kevin relied upon, I was seven months pregnant, so you know, a black man and black child also needed this.” What makes victimhood such a dangerous narrative is the false promise that it can justify almost anything.

Ohhhhhh........the depth of this woman's crazy just keeps getting deeper and deeper......

Now she's changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo. Really.

This woman is certifiably mentally ill. And her 15 min are over.

Perhaps she should consider emigrating to the African continent?

(She has $$ to go to court to change her name, but no $$ to pay her rent??)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4271436/Rachel-Dolezal-changes-Nkechi-Diallo.html

EXCLUSIVE: Just call her Nkechi Diallo! The former NAACP president Rachel Dolezal who lied about being black has legally changed her name to a West African moniker meaning 'gift of god'

Rachel Dolezal, 39, changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in a Washington state court in October, legal documents show

Nkechi, short for Nkechinyere, is a name that originates from the Igbo language of Nigeria and means 'what god has given' or 'gift of god'

Dolezal, former president of the NAACP’s Spokane, Washington chapter and a part-time professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University, shot to notoriety in 2015 after being 'outed' as white by her parents

Just days after her recent name swap, the former professor started a Change.org petition under Nkechi Diallo to lobby TEDx to post one of her controversial speeches

Dolezal's memoir, In Full Color, which charts her journey from childhood to NAACP president and activist, is set to be released next month

Thanks for you post, comments, & ^ link.

Q1) What does her new name mean?
"....officially changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo in a Washington court in October.... Nkechi, short for Nkechinyere, is a name that originates from the Igbo language of Nigeria and means 'what god has given' or 'gift of god.' Diallo, meaning 'bold,' is a last name of Fula origin... a Muslim ethnic group...."
bbm sbm http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ezal-changes-Nkechi-Diallo.html#ixzz4aERn7lrZ (Mar 1)

Q2) Why did she choose a Nigerian language name?
When hearing Nigeria, how many ppl immediately think of something other than 'Nigerian scams'?* Yrs ago my then-employer received a snail mail letter from the eldest "prince of the royal family" who wanted to transfer 50 million US$ from Nigerian bank and would give $10 mil to someone who would help him. That was ~1980. Hoping to find suckers, Nigerian con artists still send similar pleas but now work primarily online.

Maybe a name from Nigeria, infamous for fraud, is approp for the way she "identifies." Maybe not, IDK, difficult to understand what I see as discrepancies between her actions and her statements. JM2cts, could be wrong.


_______________________________________________________________________
* "Internationally, Nigeria is infamous for a form of bank fraud dubbed 419, a type of advance fee fraud (named after Section 419 of the Nigerian Penal Code) along with the "Nigerian scam", a form of confidence trick practised by individuals and criminal syndicates." bbm sbm ^ "Crime" heading in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria

"The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim, or simply disappears.
"...The scam has been used with fax and traditional mail, and is now prevalent in online communications like emails."
For other pretexts used in these scams, see "Implementation" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam.

 

[K_Z]

OMG-- al66pine, the association of her new chosen "avatar" moniker with Nigerian fraud is just too perfect.

Notice that she make the court changes in Octover 2016, and it's just now hitting the media? Right after the "woe is me, I'm on food stamps and about to lose my house" story of last week? No big coincidence there. Her book (reportedly turned down by 30 publishers before finding a vanity/ boutique press, Ben Bella Books) is due out March 28th.

Also notice the TED talks scam she perpetuated under her "new" name with the petition. Creative "marketing" for the new book, right? Totally coherent with BenBella's marketing methods, per their website. She's got to market this "transracial" scam, and figure out how to make $$ off it---AGAIN.

She just has one scam after another! If only she could put her talents to work doing.....well, actual WORK. Imagine what she could accomplish! Perhaps even pay her rent and get off food stamps. Just a thought.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/rachel-dolezal-african-phrase-article-1.2986238

A Change.org petition posted four months ago under the name Nkechi Diallo urged TED Talks to post her April 2016 presentation online.

The page makes no mention that Dolezal and Diallo are the same woman. Thirty-two people signed the petition, and TED Talks commented on Monday that her speech had been available on their website since November.

“The narrative was that I’d offended both communities in an unforgivable way, so anybody who gave me a dime would be contributing to wrong and oppression and bad things. To a liar and fraud and a con,” she told The Guardian.

Rachel Dolezal tries to stay relevant, touts book on ‘Today’

Her memoir, “In Full Color,” is due out in March.

^ In masquerading for years as a Black/African-American/POC (what-ev term we select), was she surprised:
(1) Some POCs resented a WASP-ish appearing woman (without skin & hair modifications) claiming racial discrimination/oppression/profiling? Esp after LE investigation showed found multiple evd'y items pointing to her as perp (e.g., writing & mailing racially based threats/insults to her, purportedly from someone else)?
and
(2) Some WASP/Whites resented her masquerading for years as a POC & claiming to be victim of racial discrimination, when her 'race' was a 'reversible condition'? Esp after learning that she filed complaint as an alleged victim of discrim against whites?

All ^ JM2cts, could be wrong.

Also, not saying it's exactly relevant to her choice of names, but Nigeria's official language is English, and IIReadC, since ~ 1960 when the country gained its independencefrom the U.K.
"The country... is inhabited by over 500 ethnic groups; ... these ethnic groups speak over 500 different languages.... English as the official language is widely used for education, business transactions and for official purposes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria

"Alternative facts"? Sorry, I couldn't resist. But it really isn't funny, is it. Scary stuff when people make up their own reality and think it's OK. Rachel is full of herself and apparently believes and glibly justifies her deception.

Rachel Dolezal on Why She Can’t Just Be a White Ally

by Amber Payne

After years of passing for Black, Rachel Dolezal's truth was very suddenly exposed in 2015.

Living in obscurity in Spokane, Washington, the head of the local chapter of the NAACP was forced to resign after her story was unraveled by a local news reporter who asked her point blank, "Are you African American?"

Dolezal didn't have an answer. She infamously left the frame, caught off guard. In the media frenzy that followed, Dolezal admitted that while she was born to Caucasian parents, she identified as a Black woman.

In her new memoir, "In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black And White World," Dolezal provides some context about how a challenging upbringing shaped her search for identity as a Black or trans-Black woman...

Ugh. Gross. She's a fraud and has no business fighting for any cause as a fraud. She destroyed her life by lying about her identity and claiming to speak for a group she is not a part of.

Thank you very much for posting the image & ^ phrase. I learn something new everyday from Websleuths.

"Circassian beauties is a phrase used to refer to an idealized image of the women of the Circassian people of the Northern Caucasus. A fairly extensive literary history suggests that Circassian women were thought to be unusually beautiful, spirited, and elegant, and as such were desirable as concubines."
