Again: social class. Now what might be the case is that the media attributes a higher social status to regular white women than they do to equally regular black women. That COULD be true, I'm not American so I can't really get into the details of what your media is doing.
What remains though, is that it's more about coming from a good family (=rich family), good neighborhood (=no violence, drugs), good school (=private school) and good looks. If it were just about being white, a lot more whites of low social class would get attention, man.

The problem is that their is a preconceived notation (by both the media and the general population) that a white girl is going to automatically have higher levels of those criteria you listed. You throw a black girl in their and many people are just going to automatically assume that got kidnapped in a bad neighborhood over some shady business. People go missing everyday, yet you constantly see "pretty" white girls being sympathized by the media.

...white girls are being stereotyped as more important than black ones. Why is that? Do you think there is even though there's no truth behind it? They're being sympathized for the two reasons already mentioned:
1) White girls are generally regarded as more important when they're missing, because of their social status (which doesn't apply to all white girls, but still more frequently to white girls than to black girls).
2) The media simply focus on what attracts the viewers. If 75% of America is white, the majority will feel more connected to the situation about a white girl missing, thus they'll pay more attention to it.

That's not racism; you, boycriedwolf, are being the racist here, acting all butthurt over everything you consider injustice. This is just the nature of the tough world we live in. Learn to cope with the situation, and fight to change that stereotype about blacks, instead of sounding another outcry of black racism.
Your enemy is in the stereotype (which is a reflection of the true status of the black people in America), not in the racism you're so sensitive about. That's cause and effect, and the stereotype is only being strengthened because of it's validity. Do something about its validity instead!

"Lord please back me up! There's someone with a vision opposing mine! Maybe hitting the diss button could solve the problem." ::)

You never said anything about racism? It's true you didn't drop the word racism in this thread, but does that also mean this entire discussion in here was not related to racial inequality? Get the fuck outta here. Counterracism is racism as well. They call it black nationalism to make you think it's in a whole other league, but that doesn't change the nature of the game. That's you acting butthurt over 'the media' doing injustice to your people... How about a little criticism going both ways?

Yes, the media show a pretty one sided picture.
Yes, that picture is explainable.

And you ask what stereotype am I referring to? The one of the black youth that refused to develop, get an education and make the best of life, and of the 'conscious' grown ups still acting like it's a big mean world. Well hello, what are you going to do about it? I say change the world instead of bitching about it.

To think that prior to that ridiculous reply of yours, I held you as one of the best posters in here. Act like it; I know you can.

I don't know how much you karma dropped (neither do I care). Mine dropped 6, you don't here me bitching and complaining about my Karma. Only karma I care about is karma in real life [once again I live in reality] not karma on dubcc. I was talking about the one sided media, only showing missing white women and you want to switch topics [like you guys always do]. Then, you want to switch it to black need to get there shit together. ( Thats all you guys do, when you guys can't debate something that out right messed up, you can always rely on the ol ' blacks need to get their act together). Also, from what you say, I can only conclude that you really mean ' O well, shit I'm not black, you guys just have to deal with it.' Say what you really want to say. Do you even live in the US?
