SPOKANE, Wash. — The president of this city’s chapter of the NAACP has come under a fierce avalanche of public criticism and scrutiny that has crashed down upon her after her parents outed her as a white woman when she fraudulently spent years masquerading as a black woman.
Rachel Dolezal has reportedly spent the balance of her career telling people that she was a byproduct of an ethnic stew that included white, black and Native American blood. But her parents have allegedly pulled the cover off her racial camouflage by telling the media that their daughter, a professor of Africana Studies at Eastern Washington University and the leader of a police oversight organization, is a byproduct European ancestry only, with just a possible hint of American Indian flowing through her.
Social media, as you might imagine, had a field day setting a torch to Dolezal’s alleged scam. This is far from a funny matter whatsoever, but some of the Twitter and Instagram responses have been hilarious nonetheless.
Take a look:
Wish I was watching Brian Williams cover the #RachelDolezal story.
