Rachel Dolezal's Life Is Similar to a Movie
I do not know if anyone has already point this out, but Rachel Dolezal's (the white woman who lived as a black woman) life, in some ways, is similar to the plot of the movie Slow Burn. In that movie there is a biracial female Assistant District Attorney (ADA), Nora Timmer, who is at the beginning of the movie described as being really good at her job as a prosecutor in the gang division. One night the District Attorney, who is having an affair with Timmer, is called to the police station because ADA Timmer is claiming she killed a black man, Issac Duparde, after he raped her. At first Timmer gives her version of the killing. Later, a friend of Duparde, Luther Pinks, give a conflicting story claiming Timmer murdered Duparde. Later in the movie it is revealed that Timmer is not a biracial. She is instead a white woman attempting to better her career and live out a dream of being a black woman.
When did Rachel Dolezal begin claiming to be black? The movie came out in 2007. Is there any chance that Dolezal saw the movie and decided to attempt to do something similar in real life? I realize that the only part of the movie that is similar to Dolezal's life is that she like the person in the movie pretended to be black/biracial, I thought about Dolezal when I learned about the plot of the movie.
