Interesting Wiki article there. It supports my observation that the MSM, while constantly harping on we, the regular people, for our racism, is merely projecting its own (collective) racism.
In a class I took recently, a scene from one of the prime-time cartoons was played. It showed a bunch of reporters descending on someone who was relaying that a young girl had been kidnapped from the neighborhood. "Oh, that's horrible," the reporters were saying.
Finally, one reporter asked, "What is the victim's name?"
"Brittany Rodriguez."
At that point all the reporters shake their heads in disgust and start walking away. We hear them muttering, "There's no story here."
(If anyone is familiar with the clip, please forgive me for getting minor details wrong.)
Yeah, the New England media was 24/7 on the “missing mom”, Krista Dittmeyer story. The police drained local ponds and eventually found her remains. If it had been a woman from Roxbury whose car found at Columbia Point, it would have lasted one news cycle and her body would have been floating in Boston Harbor in a couple of weeks. The good news for the baby daddy was that he an ironclad alibi - he was in prison for drug dealing. Judging from the appearance of the kid he was a swarthy complected gentleman. Her family seems to have been normal middleclass types whose daughter aspired to and achieved the pinnacle of white trash status.
