Dr. Phil has outdone himself in outrageous guests! This woman who favors her "pretty" daughter is the "UGLIEST" woman I have ever had the misfortune to lay my eyes on! Where did this hideous person come from? I am so blown away by her shallowness that I didn't even yelll at the TV- which I can imagine happened alot during this show. Lady- good looks are a bonus in life- being a good person is what's important! She may be "pretty" but she is really ugly, because she is ugly and rotten on the inside. I hope she reads all these angry posts and realizes what a BAD BAD person she is. I rarely say a person is bad. SHE is bad. To not love your children is bad. Lady- get a grip. 

I appreciate your post, and I appreciate all the police officers and their families. With this being said, it is true that most police officers are not racist, but many are. Racial profiling happens. Is racial profiling an excuse for the high number of blacks in jail? No, and I don't believe this is what Dr. Phil was saying ( I hope not ) . I think I would consider myself a "liberal" and I take offense to your stereotype of us! Just because I am a liberal doesn't mean that I think racsim is to blame for all of our social woes in this country. It is a real problem, but is just one part of the social problems. Thank you! 

Hundreds and hundreds of people go missing every year that are not covered nationally- ppl of all races. I don't recall the mother of Daphne saying that "noone is searching" for her daughter. This was about racially selective media coverage. The media covers stories that are sensational. If Daphne had been dating a city official, or if she was 8 mos pregnant and her husband acted odd and turned out to have a double life, it would have made news. Do you honestly think that every missing person is going to be on the national news? Of course not, but it should have been on her local news. Where I live, there are stories of all sorts of missing and murdered ppl. They don't make national news! I can recognize prejudice. I just think that comparing these cases is irrelevant- yes, all cases involve missing woman, but the surrounding circumstances are very different. We all know how the media is! I mean, that idiotic "runnaway bride" was all we heard about for weeks! She appeared on how many shows?  Some dummy gets cold feet and lies to the police and wastes time and money- THIS IS WHAT MAKES NEWS! And the sad truth is, it makes news because stupid ppl watch it. Just like sex sells, so does this kind of junk.  

I live in Mass- I don't know what's going on where you live, but when ppl go missing- of any color- it is on the local news. National news is not going to report every single missing person! National news reports on stories that are sensational! The local media in Daphne's area is to blame- not national news. Comparing Daphne's disappearance to Chandra Levy or Laci Peterson is comparing apples or oranges. Sensationalism sells! The runaway bride was a ridiculous waste of time-but ppl watch this nonsense, so the media will continue to report these idiotic stories. 

I don't think the father thought  that co-sleeping "rocks" and that is the problem! If he isn't happy with it, then the wife should put an end to it. If you and your spouse like it, that's great- I don't have anything against co-sleeping- but the parents have to agree on it! My best friend and her husband co-slept with their son for convience, and now ( the child is 3 ) they have great difficulty getting him to go to bed, plus they have no privacy! Co-sleeping certainly isn't for everyone, and like everything else it has it's pros and cons. 

I don't need to be black, and the "you don't understand you aren't black" attitude really doesn't help race relations in our society. White ppl have been made to feel that we don't have the right to have opinions on racism. Nothing could be further from the truth! We all need to talk about these issues because we all must live together in society. We don't agree, and it's not because I am white. I cannot believe the only difference you see between Daphne's disappearance and Chandra or Laci is race. You are ignoring the facts because of your anger and frustration with racism. Maybe because I'm white and don't have any personal experiences with racism I see things a little more clearly. I abhor racism and I too am frustrated and angry with our society, and I think one of the worst things about racism is that it continues to perpetuate a "wedge" between races. Blacks feel that noone understands, and whites want to be involved,  but are terrified to have a voice- embarssed by racists and don't want to be lumped in with them. My best friend's husband is black, and he and I can speak openely about racism, and it's so great. Please don't shut out ppl that are on the side of goodness. Not all whie ppl are clueless to racism. We may not personally experience it, but we understand it exists!
