Rachel Dolezal Infamously Pretended to Be Black

In 2015, the drama surrounding a woman by the name of Rachel Dolezal captivated the internet. Before her qualifications started to be questioned, she presided over the NAACP chapter in Spokane. nor, of course, her education. They inquired about her race. And it turns out that they were right. Dolezal was also white because she was born to white parents. She had made the decision to live her life as an African American lady, and that was how she wanted to be perceived by others.

Dolezal brought attention to her personal predicament by claiming a number of unproven hate crimes had been committed against her. Reporters started to discover gaps in her biography as they looked into these claims, particularly about her family. Despite the fact that her original parents were both white and that she appeared to be a fair-skinned blonde girl in childhood images, she insisted that an African American man who appeared in photographs was her father and that an adoptive brother was actually her son. Dolezal's mother claimed that she had been employing her artistic abilities to make herself appear Black.

Surprisingly, she made no apologies after the whole truth was exposed, and she was called out for showing disregard for the struggles and history of Black people in America. In actuality, she maintained her stance and said that she still identifies as Black.
