We really need to figure out how and why the most notorious serial killers in history, who happen to be White guys, are roaring back into prominence with the mighty help of well-positioned influencers, who also happen to be White creatives with the power to revive the hideousness of the past with the magic wand of supremeness.

Imagine if a murderous bastard and necrophile like Ted Bundy had been a Black man, who spent his lifetime kidnapping, raping, and murdering young women and girls?

Would you ever imagine that decades later, he would receive the red carpet treatment via the big screen and the streaming of his odious misdeeds?

It seems that America’s love affair with White men, has taken a very dark turn as we are now being bombarded with the nostalgic tendencies of a nightmare come true in the form of questionable entertainment, that permits the fandom of notable criminals who became famous due to the thirst for blood and the deadly quest to quench it in ways that proved their inhumanness.

Definitely it’s fascinating to briefly enter the insidious path of fucked up individuals, who perform acts of violence that boggle the mind beyond reason, and I have indulged in the revealing documentaries that showcase the blood-splattered blueprint of the worst among us…
