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.
Andi Osho ✔@andiosho Is it a black women in a blue shirt or a white woman in a gold shirt? #RachelDolezal
Mr. Cub 1931-2015 @JeffOutLoud I declare February 29th as #RachelDolezal Day because it's generally not a part of Black History Month, but every 4 years it pretends to be.
Danielle Henderson @knottyyarn Her own mama outed her. HER OWN MAMA! That is the blackest thing that ever happened to her. #RachelDolezal

Rembert Browne @rembert When rachel knew that Good Times lyric was "hanging in a chow line," I was like--this stinks of exhaustive research. should have spoken up.
PrestonMitchum @PrestonMitchum If #RachelDolezal can do it, so can I.
I am now a white American.

I wonder if she’s been worried about being caught all these years. She’s been Waiting to Exhale.
lol
So now we have one Rachel pretending to be a woman who’s pretending to be a man playing a woman ( Rachel Maddow ) and one who’s reverse passing. Still not confusing enough libs but you’re getting there. You leftists out there do realize that if you make the sheeple think too much, you may PO them against you cause just because you did.
you eat me to it (Tom Hanks son)
That should be a reality series on TLC.
I forgot about him.
Tom Hanks is jealous if you.

“I’m not racist. Some of my best selves are black people.”
The question was asked in cursive!
LOL
Obama is a punishment....
Ask the Donzal’s who (most likely) voted for him twice...
He destroyed the economy and your daughter turned blacker than he (( ISN’T ))..
Donzal’s are desperately seeking for some respect..
Growing up in a liberal household can addle yer ‘grits’..
Respect from me?... don’t seem to be happening..

Spike Lee needs to direct the movie.
Or that she is actually Hillary Clinton . . .
I am thinking of her ex BFs who are now dissappointed they didn’t bag a black chick after all.
She’s more legit than Bruce Jenner being a woman.
