Scary Stuff
Wednesday night, I had the chance to catch the "Ghost Hunters" season finale along with its cumulative show marathon review. If you've never seen the show, here's the gist. The show chronicles the exploits of New England Roter Rooter employees by day who moonlight as paranormal investigators.
On the show, I've seen some crazy things that will rattle anyone's cage and make the most stringent sceptic a believer, but there is one question I Just can't figure out....why is it that only white or rich people of privilege get to haunt?
Every ghost story I've ever heard involves white people or people of privilege. It's always old guy or girl of this family who had an untimely dimise or a possible suicide who decided to not cross the veil and torment the masses with their crazy ghastly shenanigans. why not the millions of slaves and native americans who paved the road for the pilgrams and indentured servants/convicts to turture the people in rural (yes always rural) areas?
My preliminary evaluation is that ghost don't like black people. Just like Kanye West said about President Bush. Them ghouls know when to hold them and when to fold them.
Still, what the fuck?
Here's my thing I want the ghost of the Mandingo tribe to come back and only show there huge penises during their apparitions and scare the fuck outta the people on New England and the South. Do you know how much money would be appropriated towards the paranormal to cut that shit out? Man, every neighborhood would have a nuclear power plant to keep the lights on.
In closing, can anyone tell me why there's only whites have ghost stories? I'm dying to know.
