Ted Bundy Wasn't Special Or Smart. He Was Just White.
Refinery29 ^ | January 28, 2019 | Ashley Alese Edwards

Ted Bundy, though dead for 30 years, is again having his moment in the spotlight. In 2019, the serial killer — who brutally raped and murdered at least 36 women — is the subject of a new four-part docuseries on Netflix, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, and will be portrayed by a chiseled Zac Efron in the film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, which will be released in theaters on January 26.

In both the docuseries and the film, Bundy is painted as an artful, handsome, and exceptionally intelligent man; one whom you would never, ever think was capable of bludgeoning women to death and then having sex with their corpses. In the movie’s trailer, Efron’s Bundy smirks, winks, seductively takes off his shirt, and passionately rips off a woman's blouse...

But the Ted Bundy of America’s consciousness is a myth. Bundy was not special, he was not smarter than the average person; he did not have a personality so alluring that his female victims could not help but simply go off with him. He did not have a superhuman skill to be one step ahead of the police. What Bundy did have was the power of of being a white man in a society that reveres them and has implicit faith in their abilities. This privilege gave Bundy the ability to make even the most heinous of crimes take second place to his personality. Bundy isn’t even exceptional when compared to other American serial killers.

“What Bundy did have was the power of of being a white man in a society that reveres them and has implicit faith in their abilities. “

Even slow learners are figuring out that bashing American white males is a Social Justice Warrior approved national pastime. And this is a prime example of it.

Ted Bundy was very clever and didn’t look the least bit threatening. He knew how to make women feel at ease. At one point he even volunteered on a group dedicated to finding him.

“There was a student at my small college whose sister was in the FSU sorority house the night Bundy went psycho.”

I had a girlfriend who was at FSU then. Bundy walked through her dorm that night.

YUP!

Black LIEberal racist bitch spouting racist crap LIEs!

Bundy was regarded as as handsome and charismatic, and he charmed in excess of 30 young women out of their lives across seven states between 1974 and 1978. The true number of victims is unknown and possibly higher.

He escaped jail, not once but twice. I doubt the author even did ANY research before writing this tripe.

More than 60% of all murders are done by blacks. This author is insinuating that being white makes one a serial killer. The author is likely a Farrakhan acolyte..

He was clever enough. No one knew he was a globalist oligarch!

He ended up non-white, in Florida’s Old Sparky.

“Not too far off. She was Miss Long Island 2017.”

Good point but i’m sure she doesn’t feel privileged because of that.

Well anyway the crybaby elites do their best to hide their non-serial killer relatives, if any exist, so I’m not surprised Ted Bundy’s connection to them is swept under the rug.
