Rachel Dolezal, who posed as a black woman, charged with welfare fraud

Rachel Dolezal, the ex-NAACP chapter leader in Washington who caused national outrage after it was revealed she’s a white woman posing as black, has been charged with welfare fraud.

Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, allegedly stole over $8,000 in food stamps and $100 in child care assistance from August 2015 until last November, KHQ-TV in Spokane reported.

The probe into Diallo began last March after her autobiography, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World,” was published.

Investigators learned Diallo said she was receiving public assistance and that she reported she was making less than $500 a month.

But court documents showed she made nearly $84,000 between August 2015 and September 2017 without reporting it, according to KHQ.

LOL! I think I'll change my name to myxlplyx, and write a book, illustrated and photos, of course.

It'll be titled "Driving While Venusian" and I'd be lavender-skinned............... after having stolen the Millenium Falcon, I wind up crashing in Alabama........... LOL! At least I'd get to see my daughter and grandbabies!

To be serious for a sec - I hope she serves the maximum.
