12:15 p.m. PT: Remember Margaret Seltzer, aka Margaret Jones, the woman who wrote a memoir about being a half white, half Indian child growing up in a foster home in South Central Los Angeles and joining a gang?
You may recall that she was exposed as a liar. She’s not half Indian, didn’t grow up in a foster home, and wasn’t a gang member. See Crips, Bloods, and Rats for background.
In a video recorded before she was exposed, she explains what her “life” was like. Margaret Seltzer has serious fantasy want-to-be-down issues. Homies. I still can’t get over that. I haven’t heard anybody talk like that in years. Anyway, watch and listen as Seltzer makes up stuff. With a straight face:
Lots more information at Media Assassin.
