79. I so don't understand your point.

Mainly because it in no explains the poster you claim to be understanding. Further more, there is a false equivalent here. I am not saying that the disappearance of a Black girl is ignored by the press in comparison to the kidnapping of a White girl. From my own experience of watching the news, I can agree with that.

However, I find that to be a poor and totally false equivalent. It would be better to discuss Black on Black violence in comparison to White on White violence. The poster's claims which was more on the interest of the press on non-Black on Black crime makes no sense when you are using the press interest on White women missing rather than Black women being missing. Since I find the two issues like comparing apples to oranges. Further more, the media is in love with Black on Black crime to continuously make it a topic on evening news in any state in the nation. I have never ever turned on the news in New York since the time I was a child to adulthood not to hear of Black on Black violence as an epidemic and the press loves it. Maybe cable news is a bit discerning...but regular news is not.

In any event...the point is that this is not even really what should be talked about. I find the poster used the issue to divert the discussion on the thread---which he has done successfully and managed to even instigate a supporter to say an extremely asinine comments in support.
