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.

SNIP

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.

Seem to be mostly liberals who are upset about his.
Why can’t she be black if she wants to be black?

She didn’t lead anyone astray. If she says she’s black — then she’s black.

Curious that you must be a minority of a group to care about that minority group...

Exactly. She’s black if she thinks she’s black.

Apparently it’s not fair to trade your White Privilege for Black Privilege. We just need to know the rules here.

But I thought your gender, race or sexual identity was whatever you say it is? My brain hurts!

It is the NAACP not the NAABP.
She didn't lie.

The NAACP was originally founded with black AND white leadership. There’s no reason why members of any race can’t hold leadership positions in it-unless, of course, it’s become what it was created to fight. It would be now a vehicle for racism.

If Bruce Jenner can become a woman why can’t she become an African American. She is a African American woman trapped inside a white body

They have no argument, only contradictions. So... they scream and shout.
