http://www.thewrap.com/rachel-dolezal-finally-admits-i-was-born-white-video/Former NAACP chapter head comes clean on The Real
Rachel Dolezal has a shocking confession for the world: She wasnt born black.
Dolezal, the former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP who grabbed headlines and raised eyebrows earlier this year by claiming that shes black, despite her parents saying otherwise, dropped the bombshell during Mondays episode of talk show The Real.
I acknowledge, I was biologically born white, to white parents, Dolezal admitted.But I identify as black.
The admission didnt come without some tooth-pulling; asked by the panel whether she actually walked the walk as a black woman, Dolezal offered a wobbly response.

So, after years of lying about her race and other lies, she finally comes clean.
It's about time.
