President of Spokane NAACP outed as white imposter

What she did makes no sense, you don't have to be black to be an member of the NAACP or even be black to be eligible for the leadership. It's just a very weird story and it is funny, but what isn't funny about it is that she possibly made up hate crimes for attention.

Skin color and culture are two different things. I haven't seen any scientific evidence that one can be born genetically predisposed to identify with one culture more than another. Culture is something that is learned after birth, and is shaped by upbringing, as well as regional issues. Not every person born with black skin is going to identify with black culture, it all depends on how they were raised. The culture you identify with has nothing to do with genetics, it's all about upbringing. At some point, Rachel Dolezal decided that she wanted to identify with black culture and chose to do so.
