Rachel Dolezal...Keep Your Head Up Sister!

I'm must admit, I'm a little confused about all the uproar concerning Rachel Dolezal, the disgraced former president of the NAACP's Spokane, Washington chapter.  Dolezal is the white woman who says she's a black woman.  I've watched a lot of reports on television and read numerous stories (including comments) on the internet concerning this minor incident. The reactions that I've seen to the revelation of Ms. Dolezal's true ethnicity have run the gamut from anger to ridicule.  My own personal feelings would require another category--fine by me.
