Poll question: How many missing black or hispanic women/children have you seen in the front page of CNN?
Edited on Fri Jun-22-07 10:38 PM by antiimperialist
Statistics show that 54% of missing children are white non-hispanic.
http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:OznXW4fK_8EJ:www.dshs.state.tx.us/csot/csot_ccstats.doc+abduction+statistics+black+white+hispanic&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=us&client=firefox-a

19% black and 21% Hispanic. 7% are "other"; but it seems to me that 100% of the cases reported in the front page of the corporate media's websites are related to white women/children.

But I can't speak for everyone. Maybe some of you tuned to CNN or ABC News one day that I was way on vacation, and I missed the shocking event of a minority girl reported missing by the MSM.
Please tell me what percentage of the missing women/children that you've ever seen on the major media outlets have been caucasian.
Let's just use CNN as a barometer.

2. They have a lot of press about a black girl named Henry
who is missing. Nancy Grace even did something on it. I did not see the show but caught her interviewing the parents when I was scrolling by.
