Rihanna Calls Rachel Dolezal A "Hero": Twitter Explodes

Rihanna is being attacked for her Vanity Fair cover story, in which she called Rachel Dolezal a "hero." 








"I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit. Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people's perspective a bit and woke people up," Rihanna, 27, revealed to the mag.

In case you don't know Dolezal's story, she is a former NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) leader who lied about being black.





There was a backlash on twitter over Rihanna's quote and people soon expressed their opinion about the former Africana studies instructor.
