Keri Hilson Says We Should All ‘Thank’ Rachel Dolezal for Her Efforts, Gets Blasted on Twitter

Keri Hilson is facing some pretty heavy backlash after tweeting in support of Rachel Dolezal.

For those who have been living under a rock these last few days, Rachel Dolezal is the Spokane, Washington chapter president of the NAACP who has been lying about her ethnicity for her entire adult life. She is, in fact, a white woman — despite what she wants you to believe. 

Anyway, Keri doesn’t seem to see too much of an issue with Rachel’s deceit and even suggested we all THANK Rachel for doing more than what ‘most of us’ do for the Black community.

 

It is really weird tho. She took it pretty far with slave whips & what not. Levels. Deep. #RachaelDolezal

I'm not sayin she doesn't have serious ISSUES, I'm just sayin don't knock her intentions or discredit her efforts. @NAACP stands by her work

Just my personal opinion. You don't need to agree. Or thank her. Lol.

Needless to say, her Twitter mentions are in shambles.
