n February of 2017, she talked about how she was living on food stamps in an interview with The Guardian, saying the only work she's been offered was in reality TV and pornography. At that time, she said she was worried about becoming homeless. She has two biological sons.

The following month, she published a book, In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World, causing Washington State Department of Social and Health Services to become skeptical of her income reports of less than $500 a month.

Bank records indicated she had deposited about $83,924 into her bank account in several monthly installments between August 2015 and September 2017, without reporting the income to the DSHS, according to court documents.

1. Grifters gonna grift.

2. To be fair

That's only a little over $40k a year - so enough to live on but not wealthy. And she could have been so in debt by the time she got that that she might not have had it long. Still, you do have to report your income.

3. I feel bad for her.

Seems to be a nice person with issues.

4. ok..this is beyond clueless.

Back when, I sorta felt sorry for her, figuring she had a mental illness, as evidenced by her stubborn refusal to let go of her delusion even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

But, trying to defraud the food stamp program? that is just stupid.

5. Does she have mental illness or is she just a compulsive liar and fraud?

9. Does she have mental illness or is she just a compulsive liar and fraud?

BOTH.

I'm African-American & Native-American, and unlike HER, I never "pretended" to be white, then drifted back to being AA/Native-American whenever I felt like it.

I wonder if she reported the income from her "hair salon."

‘TRANSRACIAL’ RACHEL DOLEZAL BOASTS ABOUT IN-HOME HAIR SALON FOR BLACK WOMEN.

Rachel Dolezal is reportedly catering to the hairstyling needs of black women across the Spokane, Washington, area, Daily Mail Reports.

The former NAACP leader, who claims to be black but was outed in 2015 as a white woman, operates a hair salon in her home and boasts about her skills via Instagram pictures of her clients’ various styles.

Dolezal, who will star in a Netflix documentary “The Rachel Divide” on April 27, has been doing hair in her home for quite some time and offers an array of services — from weaves, braids, twists, locs and dreads.

“Where the magic happens #timetowork #hairchair #morebraidingtoday,” she said in a post on April 9 showing a salon chair that she uses in what appears to be her living room.

Many of her clients have offered their testimonials to the hair stylings Dolezal provides.

“I love the braids so much I can’t stop taking pictures. LOL. Thank you,” one customer appears to say in a text conversation.

6. One thing about the kinds of deception like she did

It very, very rarely happens in a vacuum.

What I mean by that is when you find the person lying about who they are- be it their education, their job, their military service, or in the rare cases like this their race- that is almost never the only fraud or deception they engage in an almost always there is another layer that is harmful to others or society and/or that is criminal.

Seems she isn’t an exception to that rule.

People will say “it’s not harmful” when the first deception is revealed about who a person fundamentally is, and maybe the first thing you notice wasn’t. But almost always on these types when you peel back the layers you find more and more that is.

As an example I haven’t found a single person who lied about their military service who also wasn’t engaged in some sort of deeper fraud or criminal act at that time or around it.

But the documentary showed the events and her decisions that led her down her racial identity journey.
