Rachel Dolezal’s Brothers Address Her Race 

It's not about race, it's about lying.

"Are your parents white?" "I don't understand your question"

Just imagine a black guy trying to be white! XD

It's okay to embrace a certain culture. It's okay to have a passion. It's not okay to lie about your legal identity to employers, fellow NAACP members, and the general public.

the way her brothers walk towards the camera at 0.40 cracked me up, like they were good cop bad cop or something haha

She pretended to be black because of perceived privileges she might get

"Small town of 200,000" my home town has 82 people 😂😂

they couldn't see through her orange spray tan and perm? Lol

This video makes me laugh she's white asf. 😂😂

At some point in her adult life (maybe while at Howard U.) she figured there would be a bigger pay off if she were black. Loving African American culture is wonderful, whether she was white or not, but we need allies, not replacement.

You can support black lives and love black culture and people without lying about your ancestry

You hear that. Her brother said she grew up very priviledged! That's the damn problem. This girl has NEVER known struggle in any way shape or form.

Rachel- “I’m black” Rachel’s slave owner ancestors- “Am I a joke to you?”

2:23 dude needed a second to process everything

I'm on the fence with this one, while I believe her intentions were good as far as supporting the black community. But, her lying about her race did more harm than good I mean it's ok to be a white person and support justice and equality for a race that you're not a part of. If you look back at the days of Martin Luther King he had white people march alongside him but did they claim to be black?

Everyone wants to be "oppressed". Everyone wants to have gone through a "struggle". Only problem, they don't want to give up their flat screen TVs, desktop PCs, cars, mobile phones, dishwashers and central heating. I suppose if they were REALLY serious they'd go to Bangladesh, move into a corrugated iron shack, and start working six days in week in some fucking sweatshop to MAKE the flatscreen TVs, and mobile phones, and desktop PCs. But then they'd get all dirty so fuck that. Anyway, we have important social justice wars to fight on the RU-vid comment pages. Let the peasants do all the work!

"She asked me not to blow her cover." this just explains it all for me

What loyal 'brothers' she has. LOL

2:23 even he was like "SMH this some BS"

She looks better faking black.

she just looks like every other spray tanned girl in the midwest hahaha ive seen girls go darker than that.

She actually looks better black than she did being white.

I'm black and I always thought this woman got a bad rap from people who should not be so fast condemning her. How many years have black people been made to run away from their blackness, straightening the hair, lightening your skin, watching white people and talking and behaving white just to survive. She was not doing anything racist or to undermine black people's progress from 2nd class citizenship. In fact we needed more white people like her at many stages in our history to overcome prejudice and discrimination. It's not like she's displaying some crude blackface and behavior to mock black people. She did her homework and dove into black culture, learned black history (something a lot of black people should do) and that's all right with me ya'll. get off her case and concentrate on real honest to goodness racists whatever their race.

her brother said her tan was very progressive😂😂😂😂😂

imagine being friends with her, relating to her, having her be your spokesperson! and then finding out she isn't even your race and has been living a lie, and lying to everyone! I'm not black but this woman is CRAZY.

Since when is a town of 200K small?! What crap. #FakeNews much? 🙄

She is African American and we love her.

Why would you rat your sister out??? If that was my sister, I would've been like.."Huh? Wha? I don't understand the question." Y'all better learn how to ride.

people get black features and do nothing for the black community. .she helped the black community. .why are people angry

So if I get myself an NAACP membership. a horrible orange spray tan, and an even worse wig, I can be black to?

When the reporters pause for a few seconds and then start talking,it makes me laugh cause they are just staring at you.

I'm writing a book about my ordeal called "My Brother The Snitch!" pick it up in stores this winter.

Born in Montana, she can't get any whiter than that!

She took a Leader position away from a real Black person then made decisions on behalf of Black people

She did a great thing. She exposed how stupid people are. A look at here drivers license or State I.D., or birth Certificate would have prevented this.

The way she went about this has ruined her life. I’m fine with her passion and her advocacy for my community but you can’t infiltrate an entire race and not expect to receive some backlash. I just wish she would apologize, accept accountability for her actions and begin rebuilding her life again. I think she has done great things for my community but using your privilege to be “trans-racial” is just not ok because I can’t choose to identify as white. I can’t change my hair texture, skin complexion, or the institutional oppression that comes with my identity as a black woman. As smart as she is, I can’t believe she didn’t think about the fact that a lie will always catch up to you. There are white people who have done great things for the black community but they didn’t pose as black they accepted their race as well as the privilege that comes with being a white person in America. Ugh Rachel

Oh leave her alone!!

I'm really confused she looks 100% white even with the braids, how could people not have known??

Having affinity for a culture or race, or group of people makes sense. But to transform yourself into something you are not is fraud. It's like the people who pass themselves off as physicians or something like that. There is prestige, money, and respect involved with faking this but the person doesn't deserve it. I have great affinity for Native American culture but I would never declare myself one of them, never.

It doesnt make a difference, her heart and intentions are pure ..she is a human, thats what matters

2:22 "......................and everybody believed her" 😂

She tanned black, her brothers prayed to be white. Tragic.

I am now an aardvark... Always felt like one... I'm transanimal...

Her brothers said she takes herself too seriously and she needs to lighten up.

Rachael Dolezal: "There are many layers to this situation" = "There are many layers (of foundation) to this situation."

0:25 "the more we talk with people in this small town of about 200,000..." That ain't a small town. That's a city

I find it more disturbing that it was her family that outed her. I get the feeling that her parents/siblings didn't like her to begin with.

She thinks she can play black. Like it's something you do for fun. That tells me she actually doesn't have much respect for black people or what blacks deal with despite her "activism". Either that or the black people in her life have been too welcoming. To the point where she thought it was okay to play black

The whole point of her even having to put an emphasis on adopted is just hilarious 😂

this never gets old

This almost saddens me because this actually inspires and leads to a lot of negative connotations about black people....way to go Rachy. 💀💀💀💀

I’ve never known anyone who wants to be black.

Every single thing about this story is straight from the onion. The face on BOTH her brothers... Absolutely perplexed hahahah

My question is, why does her race matter?

Yeah she lied, not it wasn’t right that she lied. But the amount of work she was putting in for African Americans acknowledgement and for their struggles is more than 99.8% of anyone can say, not even other African Americans can say they’re as much of an advocate as she is.

It's very difficult to believe that her skin color is as a result of natural tanning. In her childhood pictures, she had a lot of freckles, and in general, that would indicate a high level of skin sensitivity to the sun (i.e., burning, not tanning).

It's weird but less weird than trans men pretending to be women

She's free to identify and present how ever she wants. That doesn't mean people have to perceive her as black, but it's her right to express herself how she feels most comfortable. Gotta give her credit for the dedication! She's lived as a "black woman" for over a decade and devoted her life to African-American issues. And props for stepping up and doing the interviews instead of tucking tail and hiding in shame after the story broke. I wouldn't have been that brave.

Why is this such a big deal? Let her be who she wants to be! 😅😅😅

Guess whose parents neglected her?

I find this so weird about she’s literally a white lady dressing up as a black person. But I will say that it doesn’t effect me so she can live however she wants I guess. But she shouldn’t lie

I read that her parents favored her adopted brothers over her. She may have been trying to get their love by becoming "black." What kind of parents would have "outed" their own daughter like that?

Her white parents and black brothers betrayed her lol

1:30 HHAHAHAHA the little blonde hairs sticking out of the top of the locs 😆

her hair is good though

She did her job, she has ties to the african American community and through family. No one got hurt and no one died, and by all means she sounds like she had good intentions. Leave her alone

Shame on her family

Nobody in this poor woman's family is loyal.. Damn :/

Im not mad at her. I think shes great

It honestly baffles me people believed her. But also why would someone lie about something like that? She's nuts

She's prettier as a white woman. IMO.

Why are they snitching?

Family betrayal is ugly.

This woman is low....... No dignity! Either fire her or pressure her to resign without benefits. Reason: lying in her job application! Go to court, if necessary.

You know deep down the real problem is that she doesnt like her self and its sad to see.

Amazing, she really wants to be black. I wonder if she apologize will we give her a pass. I think she has did her part with our community. i think we are being a bit hard on her, yes she lied but she made great things happen for the community by being a poser. Give her a get out of jail card.

I wonder what her dna test says. Seriously. I'm curious.

Ok maybe she lied but its sounds like she was doing a great job and a part of her needed to belong she done,hopefully she can talk about what her cause was about.

This is just so bizarre.

there is nothing wrong if want to be black.. love from Africa

I don't get whats wrong with it. You got people out there buying skin lightening creams to make themselves lighter. People can change their hair, eye colour, heck even get surgury to look like a different person. If she wants to look this way and identify as how some people in society will view her, why not. I mean Micheal jackson was born black, but due to skin condition his skin started to change colour. He got hair straightening, surgury and skin bleaching to combat the uneven tones in his skin, in the end he looked like how society would view white. If he wasn't famous and you met him, he wouldn't be treated as a black man. Black and white are just lables, in reality we are all human. Society has built these lables to put on ourselves, in the end race is a social concept. If thats what makes her comfortable, if thats how she wants to be then why the hell not? Is that not backwards, like saying that black women can go on dyeing their skins light and thats okay to become more white lookin, but it cant be the other way around? We got men becoming women and women becoming men and its completely okay. You got people paying to get surgury looking like celebs all the time, you are in the end looking like someone else. Newsflash, not all "white people" are the sama genes, heck a man who is black and a man who is white can be more closely related than someone who has same skin colour. So if a person can get surgury to look like another celeb, why not this. There are worse things in the world to be upset on than a girl looking how she wants, and identifying as to what suits her in socitys eyes.

Omg. Are people going to drag her though the mud all over again. Lol just leave her alone

Do she has black adopted brothers? The glass un-fogs slightly.

Who cares let her identify with whatever she likes black, white or green this is silly to make headline news.

Her family throwing her under the bus.... some family. That part of the story is especially heartbreaking.

They wanna laugh I swear lmao

On a woman turning from white to black: “it started with the hair... next she had, make a little bit darker of a tan...” how is this not a comedy sketch lmaoo

I'm a black man. I get that she lied about her race, but if she was good at her job then leave the woman alone.

Rayche probably had the best of intentions... Still controversy would rear its ugly head and bite someone.

Former chapter President thought it was hilarious in a "what is wrong with these White folk?" kind of way'. LOL. watching his reaction was priceless! 2:09

Lol the black dude is trying not to laugh the whooole time.

OK, she not black. People are stating she stole the opportunity from someone black. People are so hung up on BLACK MATTERS, so why does her sons have to pay for what the mother has done. Her children are black but they're being victimized instead of being help..

Way to go ABC. Let's do a segment on Elizabeth Warren now.

What a clown show

That bald black reporter guy is really smooth and nice

Kendis was stunned for a few seconds like, yeah OK like half afro American, but not completely. LoL

Well I am french and feel like I am truly an Italian?

man this raises so many questions. crazy

LMAO this is still funny as hell.

We should all take a lesson from Mr. James
