Rihanna's Vanity Fair interview: Calls Rachel Dolezal a HERO, talks Muisc, Sex, Chris Brown

Rihanna calls Rachel Dolezal a “hero.” The former NAACP Spokane, Washington chapter president made headlines over the summer for “identifying as black” though she is a Caucasian woman.

Rihanna says “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.”
