How much airtime has been wasted towards the disappearances of pretty white girls like Holloway and the Peterson twins, Lacy and Stacy, while no one seems to care when a woman or child of color goes missing? For shame, USA!
I might have said the same thing BEFORE. But NOW, we have the perp on tape confessing.
This has to be one of the most racist remarks I've read in a while. Shame on you!
People like to gaze upon beauty. Any excuse will do.
Bigot.

Why is this the fault of the USA?
Americans don't control editorial boards worldwide.
Bull crap. There are 4 whites for every black in the country, therefore it stand to reason (use noggin) that more coverage of whites would be the norm.
The fever from the cholera has affected your brain.
Here's your sign.
I’m missing your point:
1. Airtime spent on white victims is wasted airtime? Sounds racists to me.
2. Affirmative Action- If you cover a white victim on the airwaves, then you have to cover a black one? Very liberal position to hold, and also racist. Not to mention stupid.
3.White people can’t really be victims, only “people of color” can. I believe that’s he real subtext of your statement. And its wrong
Mornin’ Joe. I see you’re wearing your wasp nest kickin’ shoes this AM. :)
Oh, CJ, old old rant-rhetoric. Race is not what matters here, evil is. “One grain of sand” and all. If you want to make other names known, get them into the news, you should. Focusing on Natalee does not TAKE from the others. Evil is evil. Do we really need racial quotas in news reporting, too?
Its sad when anyone goes missing, but when a true stranger abduction is suspected or foul play is obvious, it would seem more newsworthy. Also extenuating circumstances like being 9 months pregnant, or the wife of a someone with connections in law enforcement or media would garner more publicity.
The media probably also does some selecting based on photogenic subjects or particularly titillating details. Do you suspect racism? I think its more profit driven. Whatever story will draw more viewers or sell more papers and magazines.
I’m sure there are plenty of missing pretty white women who are not getting media attention because they are suspected runaways, or under the radar like in the prostitution or drug trades. The whole Tawana Brawley incident showed the pitfalls of dealing with stories of low-class, publicity seeking, not too bright folks, black or white. Not too much interest in a missing “My Name is Earl” trailer-park trash type or someone taken by their pissed off drug dealer.
Could also be their family doesn’t have the resources or know how to attract the media in their cause.
Why do you consider that an indictment on the USA? Its all about the media selling advertising, isn’t it? No different from that Madeline McCann case in Europe, or the dingo-napped baby in Australia.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a racist statement if I ever saw one. Obviously this person must not read or see as there have been many of all races represented. I’ll only agree that for some reason Natalie coverage has been ridiculously large. I’m so sick of it that I change channels whenever her disappearance comes up.
hogwash.
but seeeing as how you care so much, how many missing persons campaigns have you spearheaded?
“airtime has been wasted towards the disappearances of pretty white girls “
My wife calls FoxNews “The Missing White Chick Channel”. Night after night Gretta has nothing on but missing white chicks, followed by other hosts having nothing but that as well.
Actually, pretty colored girls get pretty good Press coverage, too. Ugly girls of any color just don't get the Press one might hope for.
Jesse is that you?
There are two women who make a living off this stuff!
Nancy and Greta.
Would you like them to be off the air?

You may not like this, but here it goes. An ASIAN cab driver recently told me that ALL men like white women.
