The woman who resigned as president of an NAACP branch after her parents revealed she was white posing as black says there's no proof they are her mother and father.

The uproar over Rachel Dolezal's racial identity began last week after her parents said their daughter was white. For years, she publicly described herself as black or partly black and said on NBC's "Today" show that she identifies as black.

In an interview with NBC News last night, Dolezal said she hasn't had a DNA test and there's no "biological proof" that Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal are her parents.

NBC's Savannah Guthrie pointed out there's a birth certificate that lists the Dolezals as her parents.
 

Rachel Dolezal responded that she can't prove her parentage.
