The sexual abuse in the black community thread made me remember a stat I heard somewhere about the tens of thousands of black women especially young ones that go missing here in the US every year

I couldn't imagine this many female citizens of another country going missing and little to nothing being done


Matter fact if this were to happen Americans would be the first ones with a cute hashtag and t shirt to go with it

Listening to too much dikk Gregory got me think these women are being abducted for melanin experiments.

Missing white woman syndrome (MWWS) is a phrase used by social scientists to describe the extensive media coverage, especially in television, of missing person cases that involve young, white, upper-middle class women or girls.[1] Sociologists define the media phenomenon as the undue focus on upper-middle class white women who disappear, with the disproportionate degree of coverage they receive being compared to cases concerning missing women of other ethnicities and social classes, or with missing males of all social classes and ethnicities.[2][3] The PBS news anchor Gwen Ifill is said to be the originator of the phrase.[3]

Yep. The disproportionate attention given to black female victims and the natalee Hollaways of life is disgusting.

Black women need to stay safe because if they go missing, noones looking for them.

Sad eh ?

 

[Inglewood]

There's been about 5 women in Inglewood that have gone missing since Nov 2013. The reason I even found out is because I actually know their families. I read the local newspapers every day and they have only talked about one of the ladies.

I guess that's better than nothing.

Why should they and when have they ever?

 

[Chill]

I don't know of any case of a black female going missing that had as much coverage as the Natalie Holloway case.

I rarely hear nationwide coverage for black women missing, or other crimes involving us. Hear there was a serial rapist in Acers Homes, a number of women had to be attacked one killed before it made a news channel. The neighbors warned themselves. Its sad man.
