California just created the “Ebony Alert” to find missing Black children.

[Tair]

Why not just put them all under the "Amber alert"? Something seems off here.

 

[mag357]

And we pay taxes to these people.
They sit around coming up with these great ideas.

nikka we already have a alert for missing black children.
It's called the fukking amber alert that nobody pays attention already

 

[CopiousX]

I'm gonna hope some 60 or 70 year old boomer came up with this while being oblivious to the internet meaning of that word....

 

[Spectre]

Sigh I like the purpose but the execution is meh
Also this sounds like a family guy cutaway joke of when racists know which alert to ignore
"Oh it's just an ebony alert...." "Missing?!!!! oh wait, Amber or Ebony?" "The only ebony alert I check for is on ______insert pornhiub joke____"

Also there's so many better black girl names to use
Aaliyah alert, Maya alert, Brianna Alert, Amaya, Mia, Layla alert
Like come on son Ebony? only time I see ebony on my phone is.....

But this opens up discussion for "well what about Mariela alert or Lakshmi alert? what about inclusion?

 

[Belize King]

So Ebony alert is for an actual child’s name and not the color of their skin?

So Amber alert is in reference to some person and not just an adjective to alert?

I guess I have to google the origin of Amber alert.

 

[Geek Nasty]

They need to change that name. Got me thinking my downloads finished

I only have one question why are not AMBER alerts used more for black children? The fact that a specific law had to be made is sad.

 

[Cobalt Sire]

Next we'll have a pawg alert to find missing White women, except that won't happen for obvious reasons.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

He must be a JBO alumni.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

What should it be? Leticia Alert?

Urban Alert.

It’s the same reason you have to explain to people why BET existed in the first place. “If we had White Entertainment Television, that would be racist.” “No, it would be called channels 1-10.” Imagine having to deal with this from CACs since age 11.

 

[Coco Loco]

My naive ass thought maybe like the Amber alert, the child this was created around was named Ebony


Not even close

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Is it possible this has a reverse impact?

I'm more than 100% sure Asians, Hispanics and whites will call this reverse racism. Wouldn't surprise me if they eventually end this shortly after it starts.

 

[Billie Jean]

Nah fuk that name. They should have named it something as serious as missing children

 

[Savvir]

#bothsiders need to give their takes on this...
