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.

If Lizzy Warren can decide that she is Cherokee Indian and Bruce Jenner can decide that he is a female with fake boobies and real male plumbing why can’t a golden haired, blue eyed dipsy, ditsy democrat decide that she is really a negro?

One test which proves 100% blackness...

Does she have a super-sized rear end?

(Okay, that’s racist, but, this is a joke thread, right?)

It appears that pulling your hair back too tight for too many years will cause your hairline to recede. Yikes!

Is it just me or does she look like Sideshow Bob’s long-lost twin sister?

No, it's not just you. It was my first thought too.

They could have saved everyone a lot of trouble if they had just administered The Jump Test.

If everyone’s OK with Bruce Jenner being transgender, why can’t everyone be OK with Rachel Dolezal being transracial?
