Thanks for joining fringefolk, Tammy! Glad to have you on board! By the way, I already have a link to your site on the fringefolk website
(I adore your website - and your article about changing your race was one of the funniest and most dead-on things I've read in a loooong time).
Nine more people til the first batch of fringefolk is posted...

Dear Rose:
I am flattered beyond anything that you are a visitor to my site, and have enjoyed things I have written there. I think your "fringefolk" campaign is in exactly the same spirit as my "change your race" campaign. People need to start claiming their identity as it pertains to Coup2K.
If being pissed makes me black in the eyes of the media, then I'll be black…
If it makes me "fringe" in the eyes of Il Dufus, then I'll be fringe...
If not caring about Clinton's or Jackson's or Brown's peccadilloes makes me a sinner, I'll wear a scarlet "A" on my clothes, and change my name to "Hester Pissed"…
At this point, I don't care anymore. I will be whoever I have to be, to be allowed to speak the truth, and afflict that no-account loser in the White House. He has stolen my faith in America, and he is on my enemies list… Forever. I mean it.
My memory may not be perfect, but it is long... My god, is it long!
Keep doing what you are doing. We need you...

I'd never seen all the emails from other people who realized they were black! I'm changing my race, too; here's my email:
Dear Diva,
I'm writing to let you know that I, too, have decided to officially change my race. I've suspected for quite some time that I'm really black. When I see black guests on talk shows talk about how Jesse Jackson and the Democrats supposedly force a 'victim' mentality on African Americans, I frequently yell "Traitor!" and "Liar!" (then I throw things and say some really bad words and my daughter tells me to give her a dollar because I'm not supposed to swear around her). Also, I frequently holler "You go, girl!" when I see Sheila Jackson Lee or Maxine Waters set some self-righteous right-wing nutcase straight.
Perhaps the most telling is that I have resorted to calling the Bushie lunatics on message boards 'pasty-faced hypocrites'. But the final proof is that, according to the media, I'm not allowed to be angry if I'm white. So I hereby renounce my whiteness and will be joining the NAACP and the Rainbow Coalition to celebrate being a person of color.
The best thing about this is that now I can post my concerns about the disenfranchisement of blacks in the past election, and when the pasty-faced message board hypocrites sneeringly say, "Oh, you must be black, since you're so upset about all this," I can respond with, "You're damn right I am! Wanna make something of it, paleface?"
Rose
