Tom, I agree with your take. After exposure to the Chante "type", I can tell you I will bet on it that she did not go in there saying she was sorry but asked "Are you dead yet you son of a b*tch?" I say this because I have been exposed to black women like this where white mena and women have been dehumanized in thier eyes. I had a black woman go up to a mutual friend whose home I stayed at one night(I had never met this woman before) and ask what that "white b*tch" is doing here. As if I was not even there and having never met me before, ever! It's not hard to imagine if Chante had this same attitude that she didn't see Biggs as anymore than a fly on her windshield, subhuman in her eyes. She's likely sorry now only because she got caught. Thank you Jesse Jackson, NAACP, and others who made moments like this possible.
BTW, I figured out how the media will play this. It's too late to kill this story, and now we all know it's a black on white crime, so they can't conceal that (who wants to bet that somebody, somewhere got his a$$ chewed royally for printing those photos?) so here's what the media will do :
For this story, the homeless will cease to be victims of society and proof of the savage heartlessness of capitalism, and revert to being degenerate, crazy bums.
That's how the media tries to keep white Americans from responding to vicious black on white crimes with the group outrage black Americans show when the races are reversed : Try to prove to the reader that the victim "doesn't count". Like when those black thugs ran over a white man : The media made a point of letting us know that the victim lived in a trailer, and had the middle name of 'Bimbo'. Of course , the media would prefer to bury the stories entirely, like it did with the Wichita Horror, the Chicago Torching, the Chicago Disembowelment, the Seattle Mardi Gras Riots, the NYC Puerto Rican Day Wildings, the Flint Gang Assault, etc etc etc. But if it's too late, just let the reader know that the victim is poor, lives in a trailer, etc. Sadly, it's been an effective tool to date.
(I swear, if I see one white person in D-FW forming a "candlelit vigil" for anything except to protest this man's sensless, savage murder, I'll run amuck.)
