“I acknowledge I was born biologically white, to white parents,” Rachel Dolezal admitted to hosts of “The Real” in an interview. “But I identify as black.”
Dolezal made waves at the beginning of this summer when her biological parents “outed” Dolezal, who has self-identified as Black for seemingly her whole life, as actually being white.
Dolezal served as the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP until she resigned this past June at the height of the controversy. In her statement, Dolezal said, “Please know I will never stop fighting for human rights and will do everything in my power to help and assist, whether it means stepping up or stepping down, because this is not about me. It’s about justice.”
