SPOKANE, Wash. — Controversy is swirling around one of the Spokane region’s most prominent civil rights activists, with family members saying the local leader of the NAACP has falsely portrayed herself as black for years.
Rachel Dolezal is president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, chair of the city’s Office of Police Ombudsman Commission, and an adjunct professor at Eastern Washington University.
The Spokesman-Review reported Thursday that questions have arisen about her background and her numerous complaints to police of harassment. The story was first reported by the Coeur d’Alene Press.
Dolezal’s mother, Ruthanne, says the family’s ancestry is Czech, Swedish and German, with a touch of Native American heritage.
Dolezal has identified herself in application materials as white, black and Native American.
Police say they have found little evidence of racial harassment.

If the majority of people around her behaved as if she was black then maybe her claim is valid.
Her mom says she's not black but did anyone do a DNA paternity test for the father?
In the old South Africa, the government would have told her she was black and made it stick because she failed the pencil test.

The pencil test is a method of assessing whether a person has Afro-textured hair. In the pencil test, a pencil is pushed through the person's hair. How easily it comes out determines whether the person has "passed" or "failed" the test.

As a result of the pencil test, combined with the vagueness of the Population Registration Act, communities were split apart on interpreted racial lines.[1][2] In some cases, members of the same family were classified into different groups, and thus were forced to live apart

Is she "pulling a fast one" or is she just bowing to the pressure of almost everyone assuming she is black?
