Tracy

I have not even gotten all the way through the documentary yet and had to stop. As I read up to refresh myself on this woman, I am met with all kinds of things that leave me shaking my head in wonder.....true, you can say she definitely showed dedication in making herself look "black" and the hours and hours of hair braiding, perming, coloring, frizzing involved....it goes from thinking this lady is a HUGE liar to the overwhelming fact that this woman is truly SICK. There is definitely something wrong with her and she is mentally ill. Who knows if all her stories if abuse are true but clearly something is very wrong with how this woman grew up desperate for so much attention and to live some pretend life that she would tell such crazy outrageous lies trying to be something she was not and is not. Then the stealing welfare money story while she raked in tons of money from books and teaching and who knows what else and now what? Does she want to cry in the same breath she is this super educated professor/model/activist and at the same time she is so poor she can't feed her kid and now she is being charged with scheming to take advantage of the system all the while she was posting photos of expensive hair styles, jewelry, clothes......so now she has managed to make herself a picture of what many narrow minded racist people do say about African Americans, that they steal from the system and make it hard for the ones who really need help.I honestly would not have cared if she was black or white or wanted to work for the NAACP as a full on white woman. She clearly is not a stupid woman as is evidenced by how she did all this and fooled so many...but she is also clearly very sick and has dragged her poor kids down with her in her sick sick need for attention and a fantasy life. It is very sad to watch.
