NBCIt seems like the public just can't get enough of the Rachel Dolezal controversy.
Ever since the story broke that the (now former) NAACP Spokane chapter president had been lying about being black for years, the reactions started flying immediately. As can be expected, most people took the controversy as a reason to bust out the sarcastic jokes. And who can blame them? While there is obviously a more serious side to this story that deserves investigation, it's hard to keep a straight face when something this bizarre happens.
Twitter was the first stop for most of the appalled citizens, and users have been sharing their (often hilarious) take on the unfolding story for days. But over the weekend a new direction popped up on the site: #AskRachel.
You might think that this hashtag involves genuine questions for Rachel about her decision to masquerade as another race, or the fallout it's created for the NAACP, or even what she's going to do next. But nope! Twitter users have come up with a little, um, culture test for the embattled activist. They'd like to know just how much she knows about hip-hop. And the result is completely hilarious.
The tweets grill her on everything from Usher lyrics to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air trivia. Read on and enjoy.
