Missing Women

It is sad that we have to debate about the differences in reporting for missing women. The underlying issue of significance is that too many women are being victims of violent crimes and abduction. Instead of focusing our attention to protect women, we are caught in a media storm of White vs. Black. Unfortunately, we cannot escape this because the powers hat be have chosen to ignore the ugliness that has occurred from the beginning of time up until now. For us to admit that there is a racial problem in the media would be admitting that someone is wrong, and the dominant culture does not want to take on that burden, so instead we fight over stereotypes and continue to marginalize people of color. The only true way to break free of the bonds of racism is to heal Americans by teaching and exposing the truth about our tumultuous history. Only then will we be able to think critically about complex issues and begin to work on real solutions to real problems.
