Every time you think the story of the Fake Felicia is over, Black Jesus drops another hilariously sad bomb on us. A few days ago, the Imposter Formerly Known as Rachel Dolezal informed the world that she had officially changed her name to Nkechi Amare Diallo becauseโdesperation. Because crazy. Because underneath the Donald Trump-brand skin bronzer is still a white woman, and โwhite girl crazyโ is a verifiable psychological condition.

Todayโs chapter in the melanin-less Melanie fairy tale comes from The Root 100 honoree and New York Times best-seller Luvvie Ajayi. Today, Awesomely Luvvie took to Twitter to spill some tea on Transracial Rachelโthis time from some inside information passed down from an anonymous former colleague of the delirious Dolezal.
And she brought receipts.
According to Luvvieโs awesome Twitter story, many of Dolezalโs former students, colleagues and co-workers always suspected she was an undercover Caucasian. She goes on to reveal actual screenshots of text conversations where Dolezal routinely lamented how the white establishment oppressed her at every turn and sought to suppress her important work for the freedom of โher people.โ
โFirst off, pretty much every colleague and student knew what was up. We all looked at her and weโre like, โThereโs no way sheโs black.โโ

Aside from accusing other people of color of being white, sharing nude photos of herself and hitting on college basketball players at her university, the unhinged Hannah Montana also proclaimed to everyone how hard it was for light-skinned black women in America.
โBut she would always talk about how hard it was being a light-skinned Black woman, because she wasnโt accepted by โher own peopleโโ

Years before she became the new West African queen, Dolezal created stories of white supremacist harassment and how it was so unfair that the administration wouldnโt let her teach intercultural studies, because (bruh, I hope youโre sitting down for this)โaccording to Becky With the Kinky Hairโpeople already thought of her as a modern-day Martin Luther King, orโas she put itโโRachel Luther Queen.โ
Today, wherever you are, stop and take a moment of silence for the singularly insane Rachel Nkechi Amare Diallo Tupac Shakur Shaka Zulu Dikembe Mutombo Shaquanda Latasha Dolezal, who is the only recorded case of simultaneous white privilege, black power and racial oppression.
Stay strong, my sister.
