Rachel Dolezal is president of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP. She chairs a city police oversight commission. She jokes about being watched for a “black” reaction at movie theaters, and she posts photos of her “natural” curls. In her world, and that of her friends and colleagues, she is a black woman.
But to her family, she’s white. On Thursday, reports BuzzFeed, her parents told local media outlets that their daughter’s heritage was Czech, Swedish, and German, with possible traces of Native American. This was prompted after Dolezal reported a hate crime—someone had purportedly mailed a threatening package to the local NAACP—that was challenged by postal workers who “told police the envelope was not timestamped or canceled.” The only way it could have been delivered there, notes BuzzFeed, is if it “had been placed there by a post office employee or someone who had the P.O. Box key.”
