Let’s Enjoy the Best Rachel Dolezal Jokes While We Await the Hot Takes
New York Magazine ^ | Jessica Roy

Posted on 06/14/2015 4:41:03 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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

dodai ✔@dodaistewart 🎶 "you ain't really **** with me way back then, how 'bout now?"

Desus Nice ✔@desusnice Next black peoples meeting expect long lines. Everyone gotta reapply #RachelDolezal

Tracy LaFway Clayton ✔@brokeymcpoverty her instagram name is afrocentricfemme. she was in this for the long haul.

Deaux @dstfelix iggy azalea ran so rachel dolezal could fly

Tracy LaFway Clayton ✔@brokeymcpoverty all these pictures of her look like she googled 'what do black people wear' and just did that

lowercaseg @Saint_Martha Obviously, Emma Stone has to play #RachelDolezal in the inevitable film about this mess.

Ruler of New Wakanda @insanityreport Got a dark skin friend look like #racheldolezal, got a light skin friend looks like #racheldoelzal

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.

Give me: good credit, the ability to swim, and police NOT beating me.

I wonder if she’s been worried about being caught all these years. She’s been Waiting to Exhale.

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.

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..

When asked by a reporter if she was black, she said she didn’t understand the question. I guess that proves that she is.
Or that she is actually Hillary Clinton . . .

She’s more legit than Bruce Jenner being a woman.

Why? Was the question presented to her in cursive writing?
