Bless your heart. It’s on TMZ and People now. Media outlets were just alerted this morning, and it’s Sunday morning. But, you’re racist, so.

I truly hope she is safe and they find her.[/quote]
I hope we are wrong and the press keeps up the coverage but it’s a fact that missing brown and black girls don’t receive the same amount of press as missing white girls.

PP you're responding to. Agree that was the case. It's not longer the case. Let's move on from the past, let go of virtue signaling and anger and old liberal talking points and focus on sending well wishes to her family and pray that she returns home safely. If you're really that concerned, you'd redirect the time you spent googling left leaning data and you'd be emailing news outlets with her info instead. You're just salivating to turn this into an issue of racism. Let's keep this productive. [/quote]
You’re wrong. [/quote]

You’re an idiot. [/quote]
You’re must not have read the links; the very first one is from December 2024. This problem is not over.

See how I can argue my point without name calling?[/quote]

You provided partisan news articles. No statistics. That being said, I do agree in the past this was an issue. Even the articles you provided refer to missing persons cases from years ago. People that are successful now getting media attention for missing people are those that reach out to the media, have connections, etc. Color is not an issue, especially since so much attention the past few years has been brought to racial inequities with media time.

I’ve watched in real time how this family and friends have done a great job doing this. It is certainly a possibility that some communities don’t have the tools or knowledge to reach out to the media, and receive less attention for this reason. But no information you provided demonstrates that that is currently happening intentionally. [/quote]
