Former President of the NAACP Spokane, Washington chapter Rachel Dolezal has been under fire ever since her “biological” parents came out and put her on Front Street about not being African-American. However, Rachel continues to deny that they’re her blood parents, although they have submitted her birth certificate on numerous instances. It looks like the #1 baby daddy finder in the world, Maury Povich, may be getting the last hoo-rah of this #AskRachel sh*t show. The Executive Producer for the Maury Show Paul Faulhaber has been apparently trying to get Rachel and her parents to come on the show so they can perform a DNA test to prove once and for all whether or not her the white folk are her parents. During a recent interview with NBC, Rachel still will not come clean that those are her parents. “I haven’t had a DNA test. There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents,” she explained. On that note, Maury should be able to take care of that DNA testing issue in NO time! Do you think that Rachel will take that risk and go on Maury? Sound off below.
