"We're obsessed when it's white women in trouble" - CNN opinion article

Holy shit, the numbers of AfricanAmerican men in prison are downright frightening.

This is because Feminism only cares about white women, and they have worked to perpetuate this primitive cultural bias.

Ma99ie · 2013-05-28T16:16:46+00:00

Just like feminism is obsessed with saving white women, even when they are not in trouble.

Because white women are the most privileged beings on the planet

From the comment section:

Written on CNN. Hello kettle? This is pot.

Couldn't say it better.

Because white women are so, so well protected in life from the nasty realities of work, protection in the courts, to protection from the courts, that it is simply incredible when something goes wrong for one of them.

" We see almost no coverage of missing boys, or missing children of color"

For this issue in particular, there is a reason for it.

An astounding 2,300 Americans are reported missing every day, including both adults and children. But only a tiny fraction of those are stereotypical abductions or kidnappings by a stranger.

For example, the federal government counted 840,279 missing persons cases in 2001. All but about 50,000 were juveniles, classified as anyone younger than 18.

Only about 100 missing-child reports each year fit the profile of a stereotypical abduction by a stranger or vague acquaintance.

Two-thirds of those victims are ages 12 to 17, and among those eight out of 10 are white females, according to a Justice Department study. Nearly 90 percent of the abductors are men, and they sexually assault their victims in half of the cases.

Pasqualini said the media tends to focus on "damsels in distress"-typically, affluent young white women and teenagers.

The media's dilemma is that government research shows that victims of nonfamily abductions and stereotypical kidnappings are most at risk of injury, sexual assault or death. "Damsel" cases may be the exception, but they often are the most urgent.

To answer the question - I don't care (at all) when white women are in trouble because I've come to realise that society enables their reckless behaviour.

Feminists will send this right back as "benevolent sexism"

inc0gn3gr0 · 2013-05-28T21:57:15+00:00

As a black male, I will say that the number of blacks in jail is a combination of many factors, mainly education, poverty and profiling. Also the systematic removal of fathers and replacement by the "state" for any poverty stricken group contribute to this.

Public education in poverty stricken areas is pathetic. To make matter worse, it is not even a money issues. It is the teacher's union lobbying against the interests of children and abusing federal funding. In these areas the families are often times to busy, to fight back. Not to mention the concept of terrible public school (K-12) teachers being impossible to terminate, based on "tenure". You know a system is corrupt when it funds both parties.

Obviously, since people are poorly educated they are literally set-up for failure. I remember when I entered college and had English 101, listening to people, who were from inner city "public education", read aloud was unbearable. The system just passes these kids along and teaches them nothing. So they end up skill-less and under-educated. The opportunities are few, so they could either work at McDonald's or make 10 times as much selling drugs (the value is only inflated because they're illegal. Its basic economics).

As for profiling, blacks not only profiled visually but the laws themselves are made to make it worse for blacks. In my state it is worse to have crack on you than cocaine. How does this make sense? It doesn't but crack is largely associated with poor blacks while coke is associated with rich whites. Its funny because where I work my former boss, white male, was an alcoholic and coke user. His family was extremely well off. He had a great lawyer. Another gentlemen black male tells stories of his arrest for pot dealing. It is like night and day. Another example is there was a party (college graduation) and a black gentlemen called the city for a noise ordinance, he was granted it. The party was largely black, the cops showed up and there were over 10 arrests. No drugs, no underage drinking, nothing. No one even called the police! They just showed up. At the SAME time a girl was having a party, she was also granted a noise ordinance. No cops, nothing. The girl came forward and stated that she was, clearly louder, and had more people at her party. And that the arrests were only because they were black.

It is quite funny, because feminism really is a "white woman's" privileged. My mother worked hard, extremely hard to provide for my family. And while she attempted to participate in my educational life, she was quite jealous of the "busy" stay at home mothers, who attended all of their children's extracurriculars.

But here's the kicker, black society in my experience is largely matriarchal. For many reasons, be it the incarceration of blacks males or the inability for many black males to move themselves into the position of being the bread winners. So those few black males who does educate themselves and move themselves to some sort of power status often end up with "white women". It really has nothing to do with it being "the white prize". But almost everything to do with the fact that white women often times grew up in families with fathers. So they understand how to properly interact with a male figure and not disrespect it and tear it down. While that is all black women are taught by their "strong black" mothers.

CNN propagates the issue constantly along with the rest of the media.

And not just with white women but specifically white girls. Nancy Grace doesn't give a fuck about little black girls going missing but will spend all month when Susie blue eyes is kidnapped.

ItrollbecauseIcare · 2013-05-28T18:45:19+00:00

They took away from it being a gendered issue and made it another excuse to hate whitey. Way to whizz it down your leg again CNN.

McFeely_Smackup · 2013-05-28T16:40:45+00:00

NOPE, I absolutely and completely REJECT the idea that the public has any blame whatsoever, that this is any indication of widespread racism, that it tells us anything at all about our society.

The MEDIA decides what to obsess over, not the public. When the Jodi Arias trial gets 50 hours (made up number) of prime time media coverage a week, that's not the publics decision...thats the producers and executive management of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc.

If we're going to agree that somebody cares more about attractive white women than other races/sexes, then let's be absolutely clear about WHO it is that feels that way. It's not me, it's not you, it's CNN.

Nomenimion · 2013-05-28T15:33:24+00:00

Amazing that someone like Lisa Bloom would point this out.

toptrool · 2013-05-28T16:14:43+00:00

kaitlyn hunt would have been a better example.

Are they even trying anymore?

I suspect a certain woman is now on very thin ice with the gynocrats at CNN.

BalllsackTBaghard · 2013-05-28T15:00:21+00:00

Jodi Arias isn't white.

Noel_S_Jytemotiv · 2013-05-28T16:09:59+00:00

Simple.

A white woman should have known better.
