A bill to create an Ebony Alert that would help locate missing Black youth and women, similar to the Amber Alert, has been approved by the state Legislature and is awaiting the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Earlier this year, state Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) introduced the Senate bill to address the “often ignored or lack of attention given to Black children and young Black women that are missing in California,” according to a statement.

Imagine, if you will, Utah or Arkansas passing a "whites only" alert system.
Wow.......................................................................
sounds like racial profiling to me....
I thought the fact a child of any race is still a child and the Amber alert covers all children?
I had no idea it was racial.
This isn’t satire?
It’s only racial in the minds of perpetual race grievance pimps.
Disgusting.
What a bunch of racist morons. Amber Alerts were named after a missing girl named Amber, not her skin color.
What jerks.
I guess the amber color is racist to those a bit darker. Will the alert sound like a beat box?
CHECK ON Planned Parenthood - thousands of them!!
Liberals are huge racists.
Local Miami Florida media is reporting this with great glee.
Amber Alert was named after a child, not a color. Are we really going to go with Ebony and Ivory?
So now the black children will get an Amber and Ebony alert? Congratulations liberals, you’re going to annoy people just enough to make the alert system useless. Not to mention this is obviously racist.
So, will there be an Ivory Alert?
Separate but equal?
I think we’re going backwards.
Will the alert be distributed only to people of the correct race?
This is dumb because as soon as some people hear there is an “Ebony Alert” they are going to ignore it, which they should not. What’s next, “Yellow Alert” for Asians, “Rainbow Alert” for gays, etc...
I believe amber alert includes all races.
You are black, and I am white, you’re blind as a bat, I’ve got sight. (sorry, couldn’t resist)
I want the whites only option on my iPhone.
Maybe a less than 50% Mestizo Hispanic alert.
You gotta draw the line somewhere…
