Under a new state law, emergency notifications by law enforcement will be expanded to include “Ebony Alerts” for missing Black children and youths. Studies show African Americans are disproportionately on lists of the missing.

The vast majority of “missing” kids are family custody disputes in action.
Nobody cares about those.
Are there also ivory alerts and banana alerts for whites and Asians?
That doesn’t sound discriminatory at all
How racist of you to forget the Crimson Alerts for our red brothers.
Newsome is Racist.
Bananas are racist. Asians will have Topaz Alerts.
As soon as the abductors become public, and the circumstances surrounding most of the abductions, the “Ebony Alerts” will be dropped.
Is there anything that afro-Americans are not disproportionate? BTW,most alerts are domestic especially in the disproportionate classes of people.
So what happens if, say, a missing child has only one or two black grandparents? Is that still an Ebony Alert case?
This can rapidly become confusing. Perhaps California can look to the old Nazi race laws for guidance.
I’m a cranky old white farmer If I go missing will it be a Red Neck Alert.
It’s very very discriminatory.
Ebony with no Ivory?
well that could go both ways...
my first thought, that alert is going to be driving phones nuts all day long...
but then I thought about it... whos gonna report a kid they abandonned??
Unnecessary and needlessly divisive.
“As soon as the abductors become public, and the circumstances surrounding most of the abductions, the “Ebony Alerts” will be dropped.”
You make a good point. It won’t fit the agenda.
Wouldn’t that be racist, having them be disproportionally on the list?
More pandering to the Race Baiting Poverty Pimps and the Perpetually Professionally Aggrieved.
exactly! these alerts are just a nuisance now. The made them meaningless and annoying
