Twitter Reacts to How a NAACP Leader Bamboozled, Hoodwinked and Led People Astray About Her Race
#RachelDolezal is the most talked-about story on Twitter today, prompting funny and thoughtful responses from blacks, whites, liberals and conservatives about race and identity.
The devil is a lie. Rachel Dolezal, a part-time college professor of Africana studies, got a tan and a perm to curl her naturally straight blond hair, married a black man, allegedly took her adopted black brother under her wing as her own child, and has seemingly been passing as black for years.

Twitter reactions have been pouring in by the thousands, with responses ranging from hilarious quips to insightful comments about how Dolezal's "passing" sheds light on underdiscussed issues like minority privilege, appropriation and the fetishization of black culture.

She’ll probably become a senator just like... liawatha
Just like Bruce Jenner says he’s a woman.
They are complaining she lied about being black.
Why, it's a white nagger! As I've been saying for years decades, naggers come in all colors.
[Nagger describes a person's actions, NOT their coloration!]
The problem isn’t that she is white, it’s that she has lied saying she is black.
This isn’t the first time the NAACP has been fooled, they still think Obama is Black! More white than Arab, more Arab than black, but he says he’s Black, so he’s Black!
Why can’t I be a black man trapped in a white man’s body?
Well, you could except for the small unit...
You owe me a new computer monitor and another beer.
I understand that. My point is that it shouldn’t matter what race she is.
Please excuse me... I must now go Troll on DU and boast about what a ‘hero’ she is. Be right back...
Have fun.
I’ve heard of transgenders but first transracer I’ve heard of.
RME She lied, she is a liar. You cannot show pictures of a black man and claim he is your father, when he is not. You cannot claim numerous incidents of racial discrimination, when it’s a lie. How did she get her job? She pretended to be black. She teaches African Studies at a local college, again, claiming she is black. She is a two bit liar, most likely with psychological issues. People are entitled to the truth.
Look, if you think I am trying to defend her, I’m not. On the contrary, I’m trying to point out what a joke the NAACP has become, that somebody would pretend to be something they’re not in order to belong to it. The whole point of the civil rights movement was not to divide this country into racial cliques-quite the opposite, it was to eliminate barriers based on one’s ethnicity. If the NAACP is doing the opposite of what it was created to do, then it has become contrary to that mission statement and this woman’s ‘career’ is testimony to that.
“People are entitled to the truth.”
Hmm? People may be entitled to the truth, yet it seems like many people (about half of the voters/population) don’t want “the truth’ and prefer to believe other people’s beliefs or some would say fantasies. Its beyond me.
Well, then let the NAACP hire the great-granddaughter of a KKK member to head up their Atlanta office.
It fits with the Bruce/Caitlyn story and the liberals who live by their “feelings” rather than facts.
I’m not sure how two wrongs make a right. And on that note, good day.
Actually, Barry Soetoro blazed this trail many years ago.
Barry is prolly Arab, who passes himself off as a Negro
