Rachel Dolezal Says She Has "No Regrets" About Her Racial Identity Controversy
In June, Rachel Dolezal, the now-former head of the Spokane, Wash., NAACP chapter, found herself at the center of a media frenzy when it was revealed that though she had been identifying and living as a black woman for years, she was actually born white.
Guthrie clarified, saying that Dolezal allowed people to believe that she'd been born black, and asking if she now wished she'd been more up-front about her background and avoided the controversy in the first place.
If anything, she says the controversy had allowed her to become honest about who she really is (which still remains unclear) and meet people in similar situations.
