Books Big homie’s telling me, ‘Represent your hood with a book in your hand.’

Harry Allen has obtained a publishers’ promotional video of memoirist Margaret B. “Jones” Seltzer talking about being a gang member from South Central L.A. Of course, Seltzer wasn’t a member of any gang, and this video is from before she was busted. It’s pretty fascinating, watching her act in her fictional persona. She’s not a bad actor, I guess, but this video really doesn’t make me want to read the book—it sounds like an endless string of cliches and stereotypes, loaded down with inspirational nothings, which I think was what the book was like, also.
she only had to act well enough to fool those who didn't know anything beyond the stereotypes.
She does have great tatties!
OMG, she is such bullshit.
Harry Allen? PE's Media Assassin?
