Love and Consequences – Consequences of a White Lie?

March 14, 2008 by S C

Upon receiving media praise and rave reviews within the literary world for her ‘memoir’ “In Love and Consequences” – a tale of growing up as a foster child and gang member in South Central Los Angeles – author Margaret B.Jones has since had her “ghetto pass” revoked. Margaret B.Jones depicts herself as being a half-white, half Indian youngster brought up by a black foster mother she refers to as “Big Mom”. She jots down the moment in which her brother was shot and killed by members of the notorious L.A. street gang, the Crips while she transported weapons and moonlighted as a drug aficionado for the Crip’s block rivals, the Bloods. But alas, it appears that Margaret B. Jones – I mean, Margaret Seltzer might have had a bit too much 40 oz. in the system to pull off the Girl In The Hood routine and make the clean getaway. Seltzer attended private schools growing up as a well off suburbanite and couldn’t hold a joint let alone last a few seconds in one. Seltzer, a Caucasian in her early 30’s, went on record by admitting that she is not a product of the environment that she depicts in her book. As a result, she is being found accountable for fraudulence and pleads guilty on all counts of legitimacy, her memoir of “hope and survival” has being recalled by the publisher and her book tour cancelled. Case Closed.
