Black twitter has some questions to #AskRachel
Just R20 for the first month. Support independent journalism by subscribing to our digital news package. 
So we all woke up today to be faced with the weirdness that is the Rachel Dolezal story.
If you’re not caught up yet, Rachel is president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) who has apparently been lying about being partially black. Her parents told media recently that this is a lie. The family instead has Czech, Swedish, German and Native American ancestry. A full investigation has been lodged into how she's been fooling everyone for 37 years!
This of course has angered many black people sparking a debate on Twitter this morning. However, some people have decided that instead of getting angry about the issue, we should have a laugh about it. They started a #AskRachel hashtag, much like #AskMmusi a while ago and it is hilarious! Here are 13 of our fave tweets so far. We eagerly await a response from Rachel…
