When news broke last night that the president of Spokane's NAACP chapter Rachel Dolezal is actually a white woman who's been pretending for years to be black, Twitter erupted into a cacophony of outrage, disbelief, and best of all jokes. While we prepare for the impending storm of hot takes and, as activist Deray McKesson put it, some actually interesting essays exploring "performative blackness, appropriation as reality, and the white gaze" let's take a moment to enjoy the humor in this before it's considered too mean. For instance, Dolezal's Twitter handle is literally @HarlmRenaissanc. You can't make this stuff up.

The NAACP wouldn’t have fallen for Rachel if they weren’t against Stop and Frisk.
Did she ever wonder why her brothas and sistas always invited her along when they went to Cracker Barrel? It was so they could get service.
