Why is it that when one cute white kid goes missing, the entire world responds with all its energy and money (think Maddie here), but when entire African villages go up in smoke and there's mass genocide, nobody seems to care? Are there no cute children in Darfur?
If you don't know what I'm referring to, check this link, or do a google search for "Darfur" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict

I thought I'd let you all know that despite the appearance of my avatar, I am white. Also, I'm an American with a high paying job.

It is the cuteness factor, no cute kids in Sudan.

If you have no money, no food, no clothes, sick, and missing, if you are non-white, you are not important. Sad, but that is the reality. We claim that we are civilized, and culture, but when I see so many poor kids all over the world, have not food, clothes, shelters, I am confused. There is no equality. The power seems never been balanced. I agree with you.

I AGREE WITH YOU 100%!
There are children suffering, being abducted, starving, being raped, sick with aids and all we hear about on here is 1 English child, missing.
Even in so-called civilised countries, many children are treated so badly.

Haven't you noticed that people who are non-white, poor, and non-Christian tend to be ignored? I guess it has to do with the widely held attitude that if that person isn't just like you, then that person doesn't exist.
