Rachel Dolezal 

Most of you should know about this lady who has been the talk of  CNN, twitter and more social media platforms, well her name is Racheal Dolezal, she pure white but disguises as black. Here's an update on her story which has gone viral as reported by Uk Daily Mail;
 
Rachel Dolezal, the white NAACP leader who misrepresented herself as black for years, was pictured for the first time since the scandal surrounding her race erupted as she left her home on Friday.

She also gave an interview about the controversy, saying of her detractors; "I don't give two shi*s what you guys think." You are so far done, and out, of my life'


Spotted: Rachel Dolezal, 37,was pictured outside her home Friday for the first time since scandal erupted over her misrepresentation of her race

When pressed further about her race, she told KREM; 'I actually don't like the term African-American. I prefer black, and I would say that if I was asked I would definitely say that yes I do consider myself to be black.'


As for the outcry over her race, Dolezal said she 'can understand' why some people believe that she misrepresented herself.
She the reiterated earlier statements she had made in which she stressed her need to speak with her NAACP board and the black community about this situation before the public. 
'It’s more important for me to clarify that with the black community and with my executive board than it really is to explain it to a community that, quite frankly, don’t really understand the definitions of race and ethnicity,' she explained. 
She also urged her critics to 'maybe think about W.E.B Du Bois that said race is usually biological, always cultural.'
As for her appearance Friday, she kept a low profile as she left her home, attired in shorts and a tee shirt as she carried a book to her car. 
It was also revealed that despite the public outcry, she is still expected to lead the NAACP meeting next week as she always does, with the organization completely behind her at this time.
Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal spoke from their home in Troy, Montana on Friday after they revealed that their daughter, Spokane's NAACP Chapter President, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years.
Dolezal, who has been a civil rights activist across Idaho and Washington and works part-time as an Africana Studies professor at Eastern Washington University, is now facing a city ethics probe for falsely claiming on an application that she was black.
Her parents, who are estranged from their daughter, say they first found out she was claiming to be African American as they read a newspaper article about her 'some years ago'.
'She has never claimed to be biracial or African-American in our presence,' they told CNN.
But they have also not spoken to their daughter in years, they said. She has claimed in interviews that they were violent towards her, which they have denied. Instead, they say she has cut them out because she fears they will blow her cover.
