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'
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.
