Dolezal: I’m White, But We’re All from Africa Originally

Rachel Dolezal Admits She’s White While Saying Everyone Is From Africa (Mediaite)

Singer Rihanna failed to bring the former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal back into the spotlight in August, but the woman herself managed to do that during her appearance on the daytime talk show, The Real on Monday.

Despite getting profiled by major media outlets and print publications like Vanity Fair, Dolezal — who became a household name back in June when she was outed as a white woman posing as an African-American person — has never admitted to doing anything wrong. So when she sat down with the co-hosts of The Real on Monday, co-hosts Tamar Braxton and Loni Love decided to asking Dolezal about the matter sans pretense.

“It was hurtful to a lot of Black women,” said Love. “There were some people who felt that you never identified yourself as white so when you went to Howard University. Some people felt like they never knew you were Black, and so maybe the scholarship, you know when you got admitted to Howard, that took an opportunity from a Black woman.”
