Mala, I have to be honest and say I don't understand your position at all.

My question is not whether she lied or not, but rather why do we care so much about her? Why is it a public thing?

It reminds me of the time when people used to accuse Michael Jackson of lying about undergoing surgeries to make his skin lighter. Since Jackson was one of the most famous people in the world, I get it, but regardless, who are we to judge them?

Why should we care so much about a pathological liar that has done nothing to hurt any of us?

My answer is that there are a lot of people making money out of the whole "white privileged" theme. The mere thought that a white person can be not just an integral part, but also a leader, of a black community, hurts people's butts. In the same way extreme feminists are pushing away transgenders from the battle of feminism.
