White Woman Who Identifies As Black Issues Skin Cancer Update After Spending Too Much Time Tanning

Remember Rachel Dolezal? She went viral a few years back when she was outed as a white woman pretending to be black, an act she pulled off so convincingly that she even became the leader of the National Association for the Advancement Of Colored People.

Dolezal was exposed during a live interview, where the reporter talked to her about racism and activism for 8 full minutes before dropping the bomb on her at the end. Which was a pretty brutal way of doing things:

Indeed, it turned out Rachel’s family heritage is actually Czech, Swedish and German with a touch of Native American. Amazingly, Rachel still identifies as black (she’s ‘transracial’, you see), but apparently her skin didn’t get the memo because she’s recently had a brush with skin cancer.

Of course, black people are not immune to skin cancer, but they are 30x less likely to develop it owing to the higher levels of protective melanin in darker skin.

Dolezal, who now goes by the name Nkechi Amare Diallo (go figure), shared on social media that she recently underwent surgery to remove a stage 1 melanoma.

She wrote to her 70,000 followers that the experience was a “tough but grounding reminder of what years of sun (and a childhood in a family that didn’t believe in sunscreen) can do over time”.

The 48-year-old now uses liquid tanning drops to maintain her, um, blackness: “They have carotene in them and I know that there’s an old tradition to drink carrot juice and beet juice, and it’s supposed to stimulate your melanin.”

The good news is that Dolezal is now in the clear. Fair play to her for sharing her story to warn others of the dangers of too much sun exposure/too little sunblock also.

To be fair to Rachel, she’s also done some amazing work for civil rights activism, even while pretending to be black. Truth be told, she did make a pretty convincing black woman:

You also kinda have to admire how she’s carried on pretending to be black? 99% of people would, if you exposed their entire identities as a lie, probably get a face transplant, change their names, and go start a new life somewhere far away from Western civilisation. But not Rachel Dolezal. She’ll keep identifying as black no matter what. That’s dedication to your craft right there.
