She’s as black as Wonder Bread.
Rachel Dolezal — the outspoken, occasionally race-baiting president of the NAACP’s office in Spokane, Wash. — is only pretending to be black, say her Caucasian parents, who are waving her birth certificate and a stack of blond, green-eyed🍸 childhood photos as proof.
“I don’t — I don’t understand the question,” Dole﷽zal, 37, stammered when 💟asked by a Spokane reporter whether she is, in fact, African-American, as she has identified herself in numerous panel discussions and social-media posts and in at least one job application.
Asked, “Are your parents whit⭕e?” she stormed off camera.
On Friday, Dolezal continued to dodge the truth, telling The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Spokane, “The question is not as easy as it 💞seems.”
Dol♛e💯zal has been gradually transforming herself to African-American for two decades, her parents told The Post.
“She is Caucasian. She is white,” said her dad, Lawrence Doleza🌄l.
“I’m Caucasian. My wife is🍸 Caucasian. We’r꧅e of primarily European descent, though there’s a small amount of American Indian,” he said.
“We’re not aware of any African-American in our lineage. If anyone found any, we would embrace it, but it’s just not there𝕴.”
When Rachel Do🌱lezal was in her teens, the family adopted four younཧg black children, and she became fascinated with the culture, Lawrence said.
She began alternating between hair extensions and a beauty-pa𝔉rlor Afro when she left the family home in Troyಌ, Mont., and went to college in Jackson, Miss., he said.
She even adopted a lilt in her voice to sound like a Southern African-American woman.
Her accent — and her undergraduate portfolio of African-American art — got her a full scholarship to earn a master’s iꦦn fine arts at the predominantly black Howard University.
“She didn’t pose as black; she just sounded black on the phone,” the dad explainedꦗ. “The way we understood, eyes were popping a⭕nd jaws were dropping because they couldn’t believe they had given a full scholarship to a white girl.”
Dolezal had perfected her look by the time she set💞tled in Spokane with her young son, 💯Franklin, the father said.
Elected president of her local NAACP chapter la🍌st year, she has become a frequent critic of wh♛at she sees as the country’s white power structure.
She began claiming h꧅er white father was just her stepfather, and on the Spokane NAACP Facebook page showed herself hugging an older black man with a caption that i♐mplied that man was her father.
The caption read, “President Dolezal’s father announced today 🥃that he will be coming to town for the January 19th ribbon-cutting ceremony for the NAACP office.”
On the pic, she superimpose𝓡d the words “special guest.”
“It’s hard, it hurts,” Lawrence told The Post.
In another post on the Facebook page, she teased a♈n event on Feb. 10 and billed herself as one of “3 generations of Black Women” speaking about life in Spokane.
Dolezal has reported several hate crimes over the past few years, recently claimi𒀰ng she received a packet of racist letters and pictures in her office’s post-office box.
Police are sti🎉ll investigating but say in reports that whoever dropped off the mail had to have had access to the locked box. Dolezal has denied planting the mail there herself.
She may now be on the hook for allegedly identifying herself as black on a form she used to apply for a volunteer job as a citizen police ombudsman, the Spokane news site ꧒KXLY.com repo🦩rted.
“We’re still somewhat puzzled,” Lawrence told The Post. “We don’t knoꦡw why she would seek to divorce herself from her birth parents.”
Asked what he would say t🥀o his daughter if they could speak, he replied, “We would say to her, ‘Rachel, we love you, please tell the truth.’ ”
“We’re parents, and that means unconditional love for your chiꦕldren,” he explained.
