White Girl Saga

I have little sympathy with the Natalee Holloway case. Call me heartless and cold. But finally MSM has dribbled some talk on the Pretty White Damsel In Distress syndrome. The WaPo recently published (White) Women We Love. Even Bill O'Really and Michelle Malkin have commented on the phenomenon, of course months and years after the Black community, who have talked about the reality of pretty white girls gone missing and Black girls gone no air time.

Remember the movie A Time To Kill with Matthew McConaughey as the defense attorney and Samuel L. Jackson as the perp. Two beer guzzling rednecks in the "deep south" grab, rape and leave for dead the 9 y/o daughter of Jackson. Jackson takes his trusty gun and waits in the courthouse for the two yokels and blows them away. The movie centers around the trial with a white jury, southern homes without apparent air-conditioning, and Sandra Bullock as the token northern liberal who helps Matt on the case, etc. What seems to win the case for the defense is the closing argument where McConaughey describes the brutal rape and attempted murder of the little black girl (who is left so damaged she will never have children) with McConaughey telling the jurors to close their eyes and "imagine she was white."

Well, close your eyes and imagine Natalee Holloway is Black, without the resources of the Holloway family, and with a weave instead of blond mane. Firstly, a prosy bit of reporting would praise the white altruism of classmates, teachers, chipping in funds to finance her graduation beach week. Then media attention would turn on Nateesha and leave the impression, as it often does with victims of color and/or the poor, that Nateesha Black was "asking for it." After all, she left the local bar with 3 men who were strangers, perhaps to have an orgy before returning to her hotel.

There would be speculation of drugs involved, not the date rape kind that seem to be used on white only sorority sisters, but drugs taken intentionally to get high and horny, crack cocaine, etc. Nateesha Black's entire itinerary would be itemized: Sleeping off hangovers till mid afternoon, pointless shopping sprees, bar hopping, how many young men she could have had sex with during beach week. The safety of Aruba, one of the highest ratings in the Caribbean, would be reiterated on and on, so any foul play must have been contributed to by Ms. Black's behavior of impropriety and sordid risk taking. The fact that friends had no qualms regarding Nateesha leaving a bar with 3 unknown men would lead us to believe she frequently partied this hardy. There would be the implied racial immorality of Nateesha, as good girl white tourists don't get drunk and fuck around on tropical islands.

The media, if it even interviewed Nateesha's family, would chose the most overweight, Ebonic speaking members, stuffed into a living room with plastic covered furniture and Nateesha's numerous nappy headed missing teeth family would flail and wail embarrassingly. Victim sympathy assassination by the media. Imagine Nateesha's case, rather than weeks or months, it would be a narrative minute.
