Spokane NAACP President, not actually black?

[SomeOtherGuy]

Wasn't Elizabeth Warren, Senator from Massachusetts the first Trans-racial woman (claims of being Native American in order to take advantage of minority status)?

Probably just one in a long line. I didn't realize her claims had been completely debunked, but when I looked it up just now it appears they were:

I cannot believe anyone really thought this woman was black. She does NOT look like it...sorry.

Blue eyes and that nose...sorry...nope!

So this is happening in my town. I'm surprised WickedWillis hadn't beat me to the punch on this. Our local NAACP president is being called out by local media and her own biological parents for actually being caucasian. She has claimed to be a multi-time hate crime victim in the area but now is having to defend herself against many telling the media she is actually white. All 3 of our local news stations are running the story and it's trending higher on Twitter than the NBA Finals.

It began a few months back when she claimed to have gotten hate mail the NAACP post office box but the stamp hadn't been cancelled, there was no barcode on the envelope and detectives learned the only way that letter could have gotten in there was if someone with a key put it in the PO box. Detectives ruled out USPS employees as part of their investigation.

You guys think there is anything to it or have the media and her parents just gone off the deep end chasing the story?

AIUI, there is no requirement to be black to work at NAACP. And, in fact, NAACP was founded by mostly whites: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=naacp+founders

Which leads to the question, why pass yourself off as black?

Nobody is "actually" black. Genetic exceptions are everywhere. Race is an arbitrary classification based upon human sight.

That's taking 'wigger' to the max!
As to Warren claiming to be native American, IIRC, you only have to prove 1/16 to qualify to our dear gov. The tribes may have a different criteria.

Amazing what you can do with a little makeup and hair work.

How do you explain sickle cell's only affecting black people? Or have I been lied to?

But it is how many, if not most, refer to themselves: Congressional Black Caucus, Black Lives Matter, etc.
