Should Runaway Bride Apologize To Hispanics?
By Matt Margolis | May 9, 2005
I had a feeling when I heard that Jennifer Wilbanks had told police she was abducted by a Hispanic man and a white woman that it would cause outrage amongst the Hispanic community. Indeed, they are demanding an apology.
Personally, I don’t understand why the Hispanic community feels they are more deserving an apology than all the people who spent hours trying to find her, or law enforcement for wasting valuable man-hours as well.
Fernando Mateo, the president of Hispanics Across America, said, “she needs to understand that what she did was criminal and the fact that she accused a Hispanic man could have led people to manhunt a Hispanic person for no reason whatsoever.” He has suggested she perform community service in the Hispanic community.
This is ridiculous.
For one thing, a manhunt never occured, and she accused a Hispanic man and a white woman of kidnapping her. No one is suggesting she repent for possibly leading people to manhunt a white woman? She also said she was taken in a blue van…. Should she perform community service for owners of blue vans too? Hispanics are no more deserving an apology than anyone else affected by this incident, and I think it is safe to say that the Hispanic community suffered little from it.

I guess if she accused a white man, or black man, etc., it would have been alright.

We can always trust middle class white men to have a firm understanding of race issues. Damn those whiney minorities, we all know they’re making this discrimination thing up just to get laid more often.

Jennifer responded to my blog the day before she checked into rehab. I notified the D.A. then I discussed the matter with 2 main news agencies, One print, one television, they said they were going to report the story but have not yet. I will give them until this afternoon before I name them. I think they are going to bury the story because of my blogs that discuss religion and Border Control. At least they have replied to my initial e-mails the other 8 or so have not even replied!
