Rihanna, singer tells Vanity Fair Magazine; Ex-NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal is my ‘Hero’

Rihanna has an opinion few have publicly expressed since a scandal brought down a NAACP leader accused of lying about her race.

 Rihanna poses in front of a classic car for Annie Leibovitz's cover gracing Vanity Fair.

The singer is supporting Rachel Dolezal for a wildfire of conversation she ignited about racial perceptions, she said in an interview for Vanity Fair’s latest cover.

“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?” 27-year-old Rihanna explained.
Dolezal resigned from her position with NAACP only to lose her jobs with the city of Spokane and Eastern Washington University after damning reports outed her as a white woman.
She had been teaching Africana studies with a seat on the city's Police Ombudsman Commission.

Her new champion, the Barbados-born artist, graced the magazine’s November issue with stunning red hair in sultry shots by Annie Leibovitz, posed in Cuba’s peeling vintage interiors and vibrant exteriors.

 
Rihanna’s brief statement on Dolezal comes just months after the magazine tracked down the Spokane woman for its July issue when she most famously defended her life living as a black woman.
“It’s not a costume,” Dolezal famously said.
Rihanna backed Dolezal in a private room at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles.
“Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up,” Rihanna added.
