Ever since I started going on the internet, aliens have firmly held my attention. Since I was 7 years old, I have been going on to youtube and various other sites to find "real" alien accounts and encounters. In all that time there is something I had never noticed until a couple days ago, there are no testimonies of black people being abducted by aliens. I have to have heard/seen over 100 alien encounters and abductions and I have not heard of a single black person being abducted. Admittedly most of my knowledge is limited only to American abductions, and after googling this question it appears that there has been ONE African American alien abduction, Barney Hill. He was abducted in 1961, along with his white wife Betty Hill. So the abduction of a black person I could find (with a brief search) was a shared with a white woman.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Is this a flaw in the plausibility of alien abductions legitimacy? Does this represent some cultural norm of black people to repress their alien encounter experiences? Are the aliens racist? Are white people aliens? Is an alien abduction secretly a psychotic episode that is a manifestation of 'white guilt?' Are aliens a byproduct of government brainwashing technology?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
To give my own opinion on the subject: To me this is kind of a comedic topic, if you couldn't tell from my language around the subject, and I am a bit skeptical of alien abductions in general. I do not outright think they are nothing due to experiences within my family (I can explain later, but it's a whole post on its own), but I can almost 100% certainly say it is not extraterrestrial life. That being said I think this is pretty solid proof that the modern idea of aliens/alien abductions is an early meme. The fact that only white people have experience abductions shows that it has diffused through culture, similar to other urban myths. Either that or this is some sort of psychological remnant from the trauma of brainwashing programs like MK-ULTRA or the likes, but not so sure on that one.
