Race Faker Rachel Dolezal Has Cancerous Melanoma Removed After Sun Tanning

Controversial activist Rachel Dolezal, who now goes by the Nigerian name Nkechi Amare Diallo and identifies as trans-black, has recently undergone surgery to remove a stage 1 melanoma from her lower back. The 48-year-old, who gained notoriety in 2015 for falsely presenting herself as a black woman despite being Caucasian, attributes the cancerous growth to years of excessive sun exposure and a childhood without sunscreen.

From Sunbathing to Drinkable Tanning Drops

In an Instagram post last week, Dolezal confirmed the surgical procedure and vowed to abandon sunbathing, stating it was a "tough but grounding reminder" of sun damage. To maintain her signature golden complexion, she has switched to ingestible tanning drops containing carotene, a photosynthetic pigment found in carrots and sweet potatoes that can impart an orange skin tinge.

"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," she explained, referencing traditional methods believed to enhance skin pigmentation.

A Tumultuous Career Path Post-Scandal

After being exposed as a race faker in 2015, Dolezal faced significant professional setbacks:

  • She was dismissed from her role as chapter president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
  • She lost her position as an Africana studies teacher at Eastern Washington University.
  • She struggled to find employment, eventually working as an after-school instructor in Tucson, Arizona, until being fired when her OnlyFans side hustle was revealed.

Her OnlyFans page, launched in 2021, initially featured foot photos and tutorials but later included explicit content. Dolezal is now training with the Sexology Institute to become a certified sex coach, describing it as a "really great, rigorous, academic program."

Defending Her Identity and Rebuilding Her Image

Dolezal spent over a decade posing as a black woman, rising through NAACP ranks and academic circles before a Washington reporter exposed her white parents. She has since argued she is "transracial" or "trans-black," claiming she did nothing wrong by not correcting assumptions about her race.

In efforts to rehabilitate her public persona:

  1. She starred in the 2018 Netflix documentary The Rachel Divide.
  2. She authored a memoir titled In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.
  3. She now hosts the podcast TradPro, targeting left-wing progressives interested in traditional lifestyles, aiming to destigmatize homemaking and caregiving roles.

The podcast seeks to "extend homemaker/feminine roles to cis women, trans women, femme men & any individual who finds purpose and fulfillment in this role," according to its description.
