Rachel Dolezal — the white woman who bizzarely claimed to be black while applying to and heading the Spokane NAACP — canceled her planned news conference Monday, instead posting her resignation on the chapter’s Facebook page.
While the 37-year-old “transracial” woman has remained quiet, her celebrity critics haven’t.

Twitter was abuzz with her detractors, and a few supporters. Perhaps no one was more vocal than the always opinionated Montel Williams, who put Rachel on blast:
#RachelDolezal Resigns, yet makes no reference to nor apologizes for, lying repeatedly. Easy way out. https://t.co/yUHJWSL528

Ch-ch-check out even more Twitter responses, many of which used humor (below):
Not surprised by Rachel Dolezal’s resignation. Fairly black and white case.

I’m just surprised #RachelDolezal is female. Gay men have been impersonating black women for years .

People lie to gain an advantage, but the minute #RachelDolezal said she was black her credit score went down and her blood pressure went up

Jennifer Lawrence as Rachel Dolezal… I’d go see that one!

Rachel did have a few supporters, though:
#RachelDolezal parents threw her under a bus. Damn. Maybe THEY are the reason she has embraced & morphed herself into a black identity.
