Not understanding your aim with the thread title but I hope she returns home safely.

I just love pointing out the obvious. Another pretty blonde goes missing and that shit makes national news. That's not disturbing to any of you?

SMH that's someone's mom, someone's daughter man.... theirs a time and place for everything... i don't see you posting about the blacks that are missing either.

Shit I wish I saw articles posted on national news about it and I would fam but apparently black nor latino people ever go missing.
She doesn't need my sympathy there's more than enough people offering that, but I do believe the media deserves my critique.

And how would I display that Bliss? Throwing out an arbitrary I hope she's ok while going back my usual bs? That shit is insincere to me and honestly don't know what it does other than to present an artificial front to appear that I care when most of us really don't. She's more than likely dead, I hope I'm wrong but national attention like this usually gives kidnappers incentive to get rid of ALL evidence.

So you think she's more than likely dead but find no sympathy for her?
She isn't the villain in your agenda, and is not to blame for the scewed way that the media covers such stories.
its an important subject, but you go about it in a very distasteful way.

Never said she was a villain but I don't play pretend. Our entire society is ok with innocent death and suffering on a daily basis. We literally wear, drive, and eat suffering. Our clothing made by child and female labor, our food that's inhumanely cultivated, and we drive around with little concern as to how our energy addiction kills everything around us.
Being distasteful is the only thing that ever really gets people talking because otherwise all you get is a bunch of empty "I hope she's alright" statements.
Do we really care if she's ok or is it just something to same? We'll all go to our beds tonight with little concern of what happened. The Boston bombing was two weeks ago and its amazing how quickly so many have moved on from the suffering of the people who got hurt. Did we even bring up the Texas explosion? Plenty of dead and suffering there but barely any mention.
And you're right I do have an agenda and its hoping that people examine how we thing, examine what we say, and examine what we do.

What an idiotic post, you was happy as hell tho with all the "empty sympathies" that came pouring your way during the hurricane.

Word? I thought it came from people who knew me and cared about my well being as I've cared about theres. Completely different but since you want to bring it up I wasn't happy with how more attention was given to NY over the harder hit areas of NJ. I just don't like how we seemingly care about some suffering and just dismiss others like the shit isn't happening.

Didn't you just dismiss this young woman's suffering? That is exactly how you came across w your op and some other posts in here.

No I'm not I'm calling this shit what it is. I only commented on her suffering since others did but the main point of my op was it really sucks that only certain people matter. Pretty young ww go missing and everyone needs to know about it but I can't recall anything like this for males of any age and women of any other race or ethnicity. Its irksome and it makes one wonder what do we really care about? Do we really care about anything outside of our momentary joys and pain.

Ok, if as you say most of us have no sympathy and really don't care, then what does it matter to you if the victim is Black or White? We will only pretend to care for either, if we go by your logic. So what are you complaining about again, now?

Who is complaining? Don't belittle me just because you don't agree. If you don't want to carry on a dialogue you don't have to. If we care as we say we do you're right it shouldn't matter if the victim is black or white but apparently it does which speaks even more to the hypocrisy of it.

Most people care about human suffering and can relate personally to the story of a woman abducted and missing. No it's not fair how the media seems to value the plight of certain groups over others, but a victim is a victim.
I have a relative who whenever he hears about a murder or some other tragedy on TV, always asks, ' are they Black?'
THat's really irrelevant in the immediate circumstance. In a broader sense how stories are reported is important, but I think it's wrong to question if people really care about this woman's abduction, or if she's really dead or not.
Adults have to develop an emotional callous to deal with all the grief and misery in the world, otherwise they would die from melancholy.
If we reacted with the same level of grief to every tragic news story the way we would if a close friend or loved one died, we'd all go insane or kill ourselves.
Anyway this is still a horrible story, and I think most of us would feel the same way no matter her race or ethnicity.
The critique of this story almost sounds contemptuous of the victim.

sad story as usual
but valid material for discussion, as this has been studied and highlighted on the internet dozens of times
it's common knowledge (or it should be anyway) that the media will give more air time to missing white people over missing minorities (dont shoot the messenger...use that energy to correct a flawed system)
anyone refusing to grasp that and ask serious questions, are nothing but accomplices to skewed racial tactics that affect people that look just like them
but maybe that's something for a different thread, as the fact remains that a 25 year old mom is missing with a baby at home
