Former NAACP official Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who posed as African American for years, is now facing charges of welfare fraud after investigators say she illegally received thousands of dollars in public assistance.

Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, is accused of stealing $8,847 in food and child care assistance dating back to August 2015, according to court documents obtained by KHQ-TV. She is charged as “Nkechi Diallo also known as Rachel A. Dolezal” with first-degree theft by welfare fraud, second-degree perjury and false verification for public assistance.

Local reporters who went to her Spokane home seeking comment said she declined to say anything and closed the door.

The investigation into Dolezal began in March of last year when an investigator from the Washington Department of Social and Health Services learned she had written a book that had been published. The investigator did further research into the book’s publisher and discovered “a typical contract would include payments of $10,000 to $20,000 as advances against later royalties,” according to documents.

Maybe she self identified as a poor person?

On one hand, I have to hand it to her for trying to get ahead.  On the othe, she is just plain stupid...

If they identify as black, but are really white and you make a disparaging comment, are you still a racist ?

You do not need to make any comment to be racist so I would say yes.

Your racist for even asking.

If you could ask that question with a little less white privilege in your tone, I'd be happy to discuss.
