Notorious racial imposter Rachel Dolezal sued Howard University in 2005 alleging the University discriminated against her because she was white.  – Story Here–

Many of those who have struggled to understand her story have sought to identify the reasoning for her change in ethnicity/race.  It would appear the failed lawsuit she filed against Howard University was the beginning of her self-identified transition from white to black.  She then chose to live a life based on lies.

After leaving Howard University Ms. Dolezal began constructing a life as a black female; denouncing/hiding her family’s racial identity and creating a new identity as an African American ‘activist’.

Ms. Dolezal told her brother not to “blow her cover“, and enlisted several black people to support her false constructs; even going so far as to identify a black male friend as her father, and claiming her adoptive bother was actually her son.  Apparently all of the co-conspirators were willing participants in the ruse.

It all fell apart when a Washington reporter called her parents and asked  them if Dolezal was indeed black.

Her parents told the truth.

Today she announced her resignation of position as head of the NAACP via a facebook post:

[…] “I have waited in deference while others expressed their feelings, beliefs, confusions and even conclusions – absent the full story. I am consistently committed to empowering marginalized voices and believe that many individuals have been heard in the last hours and days that would not otherwise have had a platform to weigh in on this important discussion. Additionally, I have always deferred to the state and national NAACP leadership and offer my sincere gratitude for their unwavering support of my leadership through this unexpected firestorm“….
