I definitely believe that a cute black girl who comes from a rich family and neighborhood, goes to a private school and all, will get her share of attention. 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.

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!
Well, that's because white people are superior to us. Duh! Go read Mein Kampf you ingit muhfuckas.

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.
Yes, it is no secret how jacked up this media is and the people who control it. Thats why B.E.T [Black exploitation tv] makes me angry. They could be broadcasting & letting our people know when our women are missing or when any of us in general are missing.Because theses crackers could give two shits about us. A devil will always be a devil, its in their nature. The nature of the threat.
Is it just you? No. There are plenty of people out there that skew facts for their amusement. In 2001 alone nearly 900,000 Americans went missing. All but just under 50,000 we're children. There were about 9,000 white women that went missing that year. I don't recall 9,000 news stories about missing white women in 2001. I personally can't even think of even a handful. The national attention missing person case shows up every now and then, and yes when it does show up in the US it is most likely to involve a young adult or late teen white female with above average to very good physical features. News programming is like all other TV. It looks to cater to a certain audience. They use a pretty white girl to get as many viewers as possible. It's a majority white country. A majority middle class country. A majority we love beautiful people country. The best way to ensure ratings is to find the lowest common denominator and start adding up the viewers. They want as many viewers as possible to see their sister, daughter, friend, high school crush, girlfriend, what have you. But not their real sister, daughter, friend, high school crush, girlfriend, but the form of that sister, daughter, friend, high school crush, girlfriend. The audience sees in that girl everythung they want out of their sister, daughter, friend, high school crush, girlfriend. The perfect sister, daughter, friend, high school crush, girlfriend, and that's what leads to the largest possible rating the news program can get from that story. They want that highest possible rating to keep as many people as possible stupified and in that case it works double. Because for every stupid white person glued to the TV hoping she gets found, wasting their time. There is a stupid non-white person complaining about why girls from their race don't get the same amount of coverage. Add the two and you get a lot of people stupidly wasting their time. 900,000 people a year go missing. Shit happens. Using national media to cover any single one is a waste of time. Any white person that gets caught up in the few that get national attention needs to start living a real life, and any non-white that wastes their time complaining or even noticing it as something bad because it's racist needs to realize they are living in a forest and complaining about the trees. If you don't understand that a majority white middle class country is going to focus more on white middle class stories than any other story then you need to be checked for an etremely low IQ.

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?
