I just wish some random crazy white lady who wants to be black wasn't the only angle on "race" that people seem to be interested in. The tabloidy news sites like Gawker have done about 20 stories each on her just since Friday, and basically the entire story is "white person claims to be black". It's too bad that this much attention isn't paid nationally to tearing down color lines and destroying the concept of race for future generations, rather than reinforcing it by making national news of pathological liars who get caught trying to take advantage.
