So what’s the deal with the hashtag “Ask Rachel” you’ve been seeing all day on social media, allow me to attempt to break it down for you.
Rachel Dolezal is president of the Spokane, Washington chapter of the NAACP and became a trending topic on Friday when she was outed as a white woman who has been posing as black woman for years.

She said Rachel was trying to “disguise herself” as black and even went on to claim a black man as her father when both of her biologically parents are Caucasian.
