I say no.....many blacks pass for white but more than that is she doing a good job? if so then let her finish her term.
Then give her the opportunity to re- apply for the position as a white person.
The fact that she miss represented herself should be held against her.
A local NAACP leader's parents on Thursday dropped a massive bomb: their daughter, for years a highly visible civil rights activist in Eastern Washington, is white.
However, Rachel Dolezal, Spokane's NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at a local university, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her parents say.
Her mother even offered photographic proof. While Rachel currently sports tight, dark curls, her mom Ruthanne Dolezal showed KREM photos of the fair and freckled blonde daughter she once knew.
Now and then: Rachel Dolezal, Spokane's NAACP Chapter President and part-time Africana Studies professor at a local university, has been misleading people about her ethnicity for years, her parents say
'It's very sad that Rachel has not just been herself,' Ruthanne Dolezal told the Spokesman-Review. 'Her effectiveness in the causes of the African-American community would have been so much more viable, and she would have been more effective if she had just been honest with everybody.'
According to her mother, Ruthanne began to 'disguise herself' in 2006 or 2007.
Other than some 'faint traces' of Native American blood, Ruthanne said the family background is Czech, Swedish and German.
However, that's not how her daughter identified herself when she became chairwoman of Spokane's Office of Police Ombudsman Commission.
In her application for the volunteer appointment, Dolezal marked herself down as white, black and American Indian, reports the Spokesman-Review.
And according to her staff biography at Eastern Washington University, Dolezal received her master's degree from Howard University, a historically black college in Washington, D.C.
'Her passion for civil rights is influenced by her years in Mississippi, where she advocated for equal rights and participated in community development,' reads the bio.
