Rachel Dolezal paints a dark picture of her childhood in her new memoir, In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.

In the book, she says her brother molested her as a child, her family forced her to eat her own vomit and she wore clothing made of dog fur.

She talks about her desire to be black at a young age.

“I would pretend to be a dark-skinned princess in the Sahara Desert or one of the Bantu women living in the Congo … imagining I was a different person living in a different place was one of the few ways … that I could escape the oppressive environment I was raised in.”

She would rub mud on her hands, arms, feet and legs, she writes.

As she grew older, she didn't correct those who thought she was black. In fact, she embraced it. She tanned and braided her hair.

Her first marriage to an African American man was rough because Dolezal writes she was "too black" for him.

During a television interview in November 2015, Dolezal acknowledged being born to white parents, but also said she identifies as black. Amid the controversy of her racial identity she stepped down as president of the Spokane, Wash., branch of the NAACP.

Last year, Dolezal legally changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo, a West African way of saying "gift from the gods," to help with job searches but continues to use Dolezal for her public persona AP reports.

In February, Dolezal said she was on food stamps because she's been unable to find work.

Dolezal said in a release she wrote the book to "advance the conversation about race" and to set the record straight about her life.

"I wish Americans understood that race is a social construct, even if we don't want it to be," she said in the release. "The system of racial classification is fiction, and we need to thoughtfully evaluate whether perpetuating it rigidly or allowing fluidity across the spectrum best supports human rights and social justice."

In Full Color releases to the public March 28.

Or any of the other animal furs that are made into clothing?

I've never met anyone who made their own Mink coat.


She's implying that her family made her wear clothing made of dog fur ( which I took to mean they somehow procured it themselves.)

If she would've just been who she is (a white woman), but stated "yeah, I just identify with and embrace black culture" she would have gotten FAR less shit.

If she wants to "advance the conversation
about race", she can start by admitting
all the racism she's practicing in her
actions. She can continue the work by going
among white people and teaching them how
they all participate socially... since
she claims to be aware that race is a
social construct.
Her bringing up the "social construct"
argument is interesting in that she uses
it ONLY as an attempt to support her
desire to be Black, but not as a means to
understand her own culpability in the
system. That's because she's not really
trying to get rid of the system of racism
(white supremacy). She's trying to enhance it.
Racial classifications only give voice to the
way the system operates. Removing the
classifications won't stop the system from
operating, and she knows that. Stopping the
system from operating just isn't her concern,
as evidenced by her actions.

And for anyone who thought I was talking nonsense,
here: http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=13136242&mesg_id=13136242&page=2#13136302

Here's an article I happened upon from 2 yrs ago:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/social-studies/201506/transracial

Notice a white woman wrote that. BOTH of these
are examples of why referring to this system
as a white supremacist "patriarchy" often serves
to minimize the very important role that white
women play in maintaining the system.
