I am appalled at the amount of media attention a white person receives when they are missing or presumed dead.
When African-American individuals are reported missing, their cases rarely make the local news, let alone national!
It is absolutely imperative, every missing persons case receive equal amount of coverage, regardless of skin color.
In this country, racism is alive & well!
Double-standards are common-place in the good ole USA.
All my life, I've been told,: "The USA is the Great American Melting Pot," but as I face reality daily, it is evident, that recipe does not include people of color!
If racial issues are not confronted in North America, there will be an onslaught of Don Imuses coming out of their "racist closets"
in droves.
People often shun this topic, because it is taboo!
