Media worship at the feet of white middle class women. Why?

[prolesunited]

Anybody have any viable theories why stories about women such as Peterson and Hacking gain so much national attention? Don't get me wrong. I am saddened and disturbed by what has happened to them, but dozens of people are killed every day in the U.S.

Why do these women's stories get thrust in the spotlight? Can you remember any women of color getting the same treatment?

It's been the same with the kidnappings of little girls. Are no boys being kidnapped? Are no girls of color victims?

Is it simply a media distraction like sharks or is there some more subtle message that's being put forth?
