Rachel Dolezal charged with felony theft - Found guilty of welfare fraud

Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP chapter leader who resigned after her parents revealed she's not African-American, is facing a felony theft charge in Washington state after she allegedly made false statements to secure nearly $9,000 in food and childcare assistance.

The charges against Dolezal, who changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in October 2016, were first reported by KHQ-TV.

According to court documents, investigators with Washington state's Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) started looking into Dolezal's finances in March 2017 after the publication of her autobiography, "In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World."

DSHS investigator Kyle Bunge said Dolezal had claimed that "her only source of income was $300.00 per month in gifts from friends." However, the department found that she had deposited nearly $84,000 in her bank account between August 2015 and September 2017 without reporting it.

According to the investigation, the money came from sales of Dolezal's autobiography as well as "the sale of her art, soaps, and handmade dolls."


Authorities say Dolezal illegally received $8,747 in food assistance and $100 in child care assistance from August 2015 through November 2017. The DSHS report says Dolezal told investigators in April that she had "fully disclosed her information" and declined to answer further questions.

Dolezal is also charged with perjury and making false verification for public assistance.

Dolezal resigned as head of the Spokane NAACP chapter in June 2015 after her parents told local media that she had been born white and was merely posing as a black activist. She also was fired from a police ombudsman commission and lost her job teaching African studies at Eastern Washington University.

In 2017, Dolezal told The Associated Press that she still identifies as black, despite being "Caucasian biologically."

"People didn't seem able to consider that maybe both were true," she said at the time. "OK, I was born to white parents, but maybe I had an authentic black identity."

In addition to her autobiography, Dolezal was the subject of a Netflix documentary, "The Rachel Divide," that premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival last month. Fox News recently reported that Dolezal has taken to Instagram to show the apparent success of her in-house hair salon business.

WELL DONE RACHEL

I watched the Netflix documentary on her and it's pretty insightful as to why she is the way she is. She wasnt your a-typical sjw to be honest.

Not that it's an excuse for this level of autism, but it is interesting.

Wait there was a Documentary about her? What was the title?

I can honestly see that start of thing becoming pretty much standard going forward, especially for long term welfare recipients you have an initial check on your bank account followed by a scrape every few months of the deposits to make sure someone isn't gaming the system with any major deposits if it's legitimate it can be proven but when you have someone on benefits who's unable to explain 84k of deposits questions will arise and out fraudsters.

 

[The Littlest Shitlord]

What's mind-blowing to me is that she was making nearly $7k a month and thought it was worth risking getting caught for an amount of benefits that's rather petty in comparison. How much do real poor people make in Washington state in gib me dats? A lot less than $7k a month, I can tell you that.

 

[James Howlett]

Wait there was a Documentary about her? What was the title?

Yeah it's on Netflix and it has an edgy name like "The Rachel Effect" or some bullshit. Search "Rachel D" and it won't be hard to find.

It's cringy mostly, but there are some interviews in it that just make you go "wtf?"

 

[F.O.E]

Wait there was a Documentary about her? What was the title?

It's in the OP...

 

[Lunete]

Going for every stereotype isn't she?
Also, lol at that name. She might as well have named herself Shaquana.

 

[SirQuicksand]

About time she got charged for her bullshit.

Going for every stereotype isn't she?
Also, lol at that name. She might as well have named herself Shaquana.

Or LaQuaneesha

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

She's a broke-brained narcissist who absolutely must be running a scam at all times. She doesn't know how to function if she's not pulling a con on someone, anyone.

This is why you keep your ill-gotten earnings out of the bank and under your bed. Fuckin' amateurs, man.

 

[Haramburger]

who changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in October 2016

This was the only surprise to me. I knew she was trying to claim welfare(the state was stonewalling for a bit) after her white heritage was revealed and she lost her job, and I figured she'd find one of The Left's reliable teets to suck some crowdfunded pity bux, but the all-out name change is hilarious. I would be so ashamed if I was one of her kids. I would also be fuckin' white.

 

[Dickens Cider]

I forgot to post the picture of her Black caddy that she will probably lose because welfare queen.

 

[Positron]

This gets sadder/funnier every time she appears in the media. She REALLY wants to be stereotypically black. The next logical step is to commit a crime(preferably murder) against another black person.

You ain't no nigga unless you pimp yourself for a cheeseburger.

I actually don't think the scam is the goal, but just the natural conclusion when a narcissist believes that they aren't getting their "fair share" of attention from society and simply has to, you know, "make up" for that. Or we've got genuine mental illness in play, nobody, not even Dunning-Kreuger disciples, can be so dumb as to think they won't get caught on try number 9 to scam someone, at that point, it's pathological, they aren't even thinking as they do it anymore.

Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who posed as black, face up to 15 years in prison for welfare fraud

Former NAACP official Rachel Dolezal, a white woman who posed as African American for years, is now facing charges of welfare fraud after investigators say she illegally received thousands of dollars in public assistance.

Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, is accused of stealing $8,847 in food and child care assistance dating back to August 2015, according to court documents obtained by KHQ-TV. She is charged as “Nkechi Diallo also known as Rachel A. Dolezal” with first-degree theft by welfare fraud, second-degree perjury and false verification for public assistance.

Local reporters who went to her Spokane home seeking comment said she declined to say anything and closed the door.

The investigation into Dolezal began in March of last year when an investigator from the Washington Department of Social and Health Services learned she had written a book that had been published. The investigator did further research into the book’s publisher and discovered “a typical contract would include payments of $10,000 to $20,000 as advances against later royalties,” according to documents.

At this time, Dolezal had been reporting a monthly income of less than $500, which came from child support payments. She resigned from the NAACP in June 2015 when her parents revealed she was actually white, and claimed that since then she had been unemployed and unable to find work, the Spokesman-Review reported.

When asked how she was paying her living expenses, she was quoted in the documents saying, “Barely! With help from friends and gifts.”

But, a review of Dolezal’s self-employment records, which included bank statements, revealed a less dire situation.

In total, between Aug. 2015 and Sept. 2017, Dolezal’s bank statements showed she had deposited nearly $84,000, documents said. Investigators believe the money came from her book, speaking engagements and selling art, soaps and handmade dolls.

In 2017, Dolezal reported a “change of circumstance,” citing a “one-time job” for “speaking and voice overs” she did in October that earned her $20,000, according to documents.

Documents show Dolezal was made aware that she would be criminally prosecuted if she “willfully” made a false statement or failed to report things.

Dolezal was called in for an interview with an investigator in April during which she was informed that the investigation was about her “discrepancies in reporting.” Dolezal responded that she had “fully disclosed her information and asked what discrepancies,” the investigator said.

Then, Dolezal reportedly told the investigator that “she did not have to answer,” cutting the interview short.

Refusing to answer questions has proven to not be a good defense for Dolezal.

Dolezal’s story of posing as an African American captured headlines across the globe in 2015.

She was outed as pretending to be African American after her carefully constructed image was shattered during an interview in 2015 when she was asked a single question: “Are you an African American?” Dolezal did not answer and instead walked off-camera.

Dolezal is the subject of a Netflix documentary called “The Rachel Divide,” which was released in April. According to a statement from Netflix, she was not paid for the project.

If found guilty, Dolezal could face up to 15 years in prison and could be ordered to pay $8,887 as restitution. She may also be disqualified from receiving food assistance for at least a year, documents said.

Dolezal is expected to appear in court on June 6, KHQ-TV reported.

Whod a thought telling a government agency giving you free stuff "i don't have to answer your inquiries" would lead to a full body cavity search? I really and truly can not believe she doubled down on the lie to an investigator. She's special.

 

[James Howlett]

I would be so ashamed if I was one of her kids. I would also be fuckin' white.

She has two older sons who are both legitimately black. They are also both legitimately ashamed of their mom.

"Hey! You're the dudes whose mom changed her name to Dikembe Mtumbo and put on blackface to run the NAACP, right? She still in prison?"

They're going to have to find white friends or they'll have a lonely existence.

 

[Dysnomia]

if you REALLY want to be black, you've got to act like it

You can't say she's not dedicated. Because damn she dedicated.

I didn't count stepkids/adopted kids. Unless they're biologically hers? I was pretty none of the older ones were.

What a disgrace to transracial people. Or is this the first case of trans(racial)phobia and poor Nkechi Diallo is being discriminated against by the white man.
