Rachel Dolezal claims Black Lives Matter movement has 'vindicated' her

Rachel Dolezal, a woman of European ancestry who made headlines for claiming she is black, said the revitalized Black Lives Matter movement has “vindicated” her.

“Overwhelmingly, most people I hear from are black or mixed or non-white in some way, and a lot of people have said, ‘This is your moment, you’re vindicated.’ I have received hundreds of messages. Most of it’s been overwhelmingly positive,” Dolezal told the New York Post in an interview published Saturday.
