The case of the mother from Philly who ended up in Florida is the latest in a series of people who make up stories of being kidnapped by two black guys.I am creatively labeling this as the" Two black guys (deus) ex-mmachina attribution error"Blaming some crime on "two black guys' has been utilized in various criminal situations,for example, Susan Smith in Carolina.She drowned her kids in a lake but she said that the kids were kidnapped by two black guys.There are other examples to be found throughout the U.S. It is always two and not three or four and never other groups such as Italians,Canadians or Asians. I wonder what Carl Jung would say about the symbolism of the non-existent of the two black guys.
