these jokes go to far at the expense of black folks, don't you think?
When I wrote a story about Eliza Presley, the woman who claims to be Elvis Presley's half-sister -- and on top of that, to be in regular contact with Elvis himself, who faked his death in 1977 and has been living out his days in obscurity -- I guess I did expect a reaction.
What I got was a taste of the cottage industry of Elvis-related professionals -- those who believe Elvis is alive and those who've devoted themselves to debunking claims made by people who claim to be in touch with Elvis, or related to him.
In the debunking camp are two Elvis historians who got in touch with me the day the story was published and persisted in calling for the next few days. One was Cory Cooper, whose e-mail handle is "elivisexpert" and who told me on the phone that Eliza Presley's claims "make (him) want to vomit." And there is Patrick Lacy, who runs a blog at www.elvisdecoded.com. Both offered to speak with me for a follow-up piece about their research into Eliza Presley, who they say is a fraud. But they declined to contribute their story to my blog.
I also heard from Eliza's birth mother, Flo Clark, who called to vent about Eliza. Clark, who really did hang out for a time with Elvis and his entourage back in Memphis, said there was no hanky-panky -- not with Elvis, and not with Vernon, Elvis' dad, who Eliza claims is her dad, too.
