MSNBC Guest: ‘Absolutely Possible’ Rachel Dolezal Is Actually Black

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

HARRIS-PERRY: "I want to ask this question as clearly as I can. Is it possible that maybe not Rachel -- again, I don't know what her whole story is. We will see more of that." 
HOBBS: "We don't know." 
HARRIS-PERRY: "Is it possible that she might actually be black? The best way that I know thousand describe this, I want to be very careful here. Because I don't want to say it's equivalent to the transgender experience. But there's a useful language in trans assist which is to say some of U transgendered, but is there a different category of blackness that is about the achievement of blackness despite one's parentage?" 
HOBBS: "That's absolutely possible. Why not? I think one thing she said that I found so fascinating, she said her identity is multi layered, and that her identity is very complicated. She didn't expect for people to understand it easily. And I think what she's eluding to is this sort of perhaps -- again, we don't know that much about the story. We need to hear more from her, more of her personal story. But there certainly is a chance that -- that she identifies as a black woman, and that that there could be authenticity to that."
