Apparently you can’t teach an old fraud [1] new tricks.
Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP chapter leader who resigned after her parents revealed she’s not African-American, is facing a felony theft charge in Washington state after she allegedly made false statements to secure nearly $9,000 in food and childcare assistance.
The charges against Dolezal, who changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in October 2016, were first reported by KHQ-TV. [2]
According to court documents, investigators with Washington state’s Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) started looking into Dolezal’s finances in March 2017 after the publication of her autobiography, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.”
Clearly this is somebody that knows how to work the angles and has been doing so for a very long time.
There’s a number of questions that spring from this, however. Chiefly among them why would she be trying to pass yourself off as black if she didn’t think there was some kind of an advantage to it?
Some kind of, shall we say, privilege?
