09/22 Are You a Racist?
Quote From: starkitty7 I understand what you are saying, and of course you may be right. Perhaps somewhere in the US a young black woman was dating a married senator and went missing and the media didn't cover it. Maybe somewhere a black pregnant woman went missing on Christmas Eve and her husband was living a double life and the media didn't cover it. When national media covers a disappearance, it's really not for the goal of actually helping find the missing person- it's about ratings, it's about selling newspapers. Local news are the ones that can actually help a person be found, so it's not "null and void". I honestly don't know what Kayne West said- I really try to avoid angry outburtsts. I don't think Bush hates blacks, he just doesn't really care about poor ppl of any color. But, we digress! I DO think the media is predudiced, definetly! I just don't think using those examples proves the case, that's all. point taken!!! But i also reallize you'll really never understand where i'm coming from, and i don't expect you to, however try to imagine this, You are of color, and your child is missing, you are calling everybody to try to help you find your baby girl, but you can't get no one to help, 24 hours later another young girl is missing and she's get full media coverage same crime, but she's white, nothing but a real family trying to find thier love one. no real scoop for the media. it's just the difference between the two is color. You still won't understand, Why? because you are not black. So trying to get you to understand is really Null and Void....
