Sometimes you hear something so crazy, that you can’t do anything but laugh out loud at it. That happened to me a couple hours ago. I was alerted to a story by a contributor of ours that still has me shaking my head. The head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, Rachel Dolezal, is white. Now, ordinarily there isn’t a problem with white people being in the organization, even holding leadership positions. The problem in this case is, Rachel has passed herself off as black for many years, and has been surrounded by dubious hate crime investigations (ten of them). In fact, one of these bogus sounding crimes is what got her caught up in the first place.
How did the facts come out, you ask? Well, her parents gave media interviews that pointed out their daughter was full of horseshit. Here, meet her parents:
Oh, and in case you still haven’t seen the fraudulent Ms. Dolezal:
She appears to use the same tanning oil as Hulk Hogan (OK, Hogan’s is stronger):
I have no idea how this woman was able to get away with this for so long. It just goes to show you how dumb some of these activists are. Though to be fair, she does seem pretty committed to the con. Look at her! There’s more where the above pic came from:
Needless to say, Twitter has been having a fucking field day with this one. It seems like everyone is piling onto this woman, and quite frankly, she deserves it (starting with a hilarious vid):

Going forward, what Rachel Dolezal did will be called a "Reverse Bigsby"

I could literally go on for hours. The social media backed beatdown has only just begun. I think this has even overtaken the LeBron penis flash debacle at this point. OK, maybe not, but it’s right up there. I’ll come back to this if any more news comes out, or if something especially hilarious emerges. You saw that Master Milo is gearing up to write something on it. I’m quite certain that will be a laugh riot. I’ll come back and post that in here when I get back from the gym, if he’s done by then.
UPDATE: Here’s an excerpt from Milo’s column:
Keen-eyed readers will no doubt notice that in many pictures Dolezal shares a stunning similarity to failed video games blogger Leigh Alexander, who is legitimately biracial. It should serve as some comfort to Alexander that once she throws in the towel on her flagging career as a games writer that she could lose a few pounds and step right into the shoes of Dolezal as a Africana Studies professor and NAACP official.
