How come only missing white women & children get media attention?

Question

Aren't all our livelihood's equally important?

I meant the MOST media coverage, not the only. Geez, and I'm not the adult!

Answer 1

Because the madia is racist and your right. Madeline McCain (a little girl from England) is kidnapped and the world goes crazy. but when a Black mother is stabed to death and he four year old child is missing. The world doesn't even acknowledge it.

the world is ****** up.

Answer 2

Gender equality for all? Hmmm, maybe if you were a woman, with breast cancer, you might feel different. You skit is so whacked out, I won't even go there. Come on, You start off by saying "Life is such an important issue." How dare you assume no one cares about brain cancer or testicular cancer. How dare you. My brother died of brain and spinal cancer and we almost lost our sister to brain cancer as well. My father-in-law had testicular cancer twice, You don't think we cared? You need to get out more and see what cancer does to people. Not just breast cancer, ALL CANCERS. Maybe you'd have a better perspective on 'LIFE" ADD Mermaid. My answer made you mad??? Read it again. I said ALL CANCERS That doesn't exclude children You're reading into it what you want to. Children are our future and what organization do you think I contribute to. St Jude's for children's cancer research. Stop judging people when you don't know all the facts.

Answer 3

you would think but it goes the same way if any violence occurs towards white people. there is only national coverage it was white people doing it to a black person. you never about the reverse side, look up the name channon christian itll give you an idea of what im talking about. they fill the media with stories of the duke rape case and the rutgers basketball thing but things that actually happened or even matter get left out of the loop.

Answer 4

I suppose for the same reason that if a white person or mob beats up a minority it's national headlines and wall-to-wall media coverage, but if a minority mob beats someone to death, it's barely mentioned. And if it is, race is barely or not at all mentioned.

Answer 5

not here in North Carolina,if someone gets missing regarless of race or any color or ethic they put an Amber Alert on them and also tries to find them just like that woman in Ohio i think,she's 26 yrs old and missing her baby is due July 3 its on yahoo page,i read it and 1400 ppl are looking for her.

Answer 6

Racism and discrimination still flourishes in the US. Ever look around in your school if your white? See a lot of the same don't you? Not much has changed.

Answer 7

You have a very valid point. I guess because this most recent case resembles the one out in Cali that was just settled.

Answer 8

If you say so.

Not so long ago, there was a local College student here in Houston that went missing, she was black. It wasa huge deal in the media - turned out her boyfriedn chopped her up and burned her up on the grill.

They were going to spend hundreds of thousands of funds to search for her in a landfill before he finally admitted to what he did.

Answer 9

The same reason the government sent Hurrican Katrina to New Orleans, because George Bush hates black people.

Where's Mike Myers when you need him.

Answer 10

In this day and age, you would think so, but I have noticed that many black children go missing without even so much as an "amber alert."
