Dog bites man will always garner more coverage than the reverse. Just so, wealthy, successful white women who aren’t celebrities dying of drug overdoses in posh apartment lobbies are scarce and therefore newsworthy, while poor nonwhites of both sexes OD far more frequently, and thus rarely get mentioned anywhere other than the police blotter column.

Nothing to do with race. If she was a black “married doctor and mother of three” it would be covered the same way. If she were a poor white drug addict it wouldn’t be covered at all—plenty of them die all the time, and the papers don’t report it. Like they used to say in Journalism 101, “Dog Bites Man” is not a story, “Man Bites Dog” is.

The sole reason this stuff is newsworthy is because it is so rare and unlikely with the strata of society that has acted on the principle of ‘delayed gratification’ to study and work hard to get ahead. This is not the case, statistically, in the strata of society where drugs are so prevalent. Further, it is because whitey is standing on somebodies neck and holding them down. As this case clearly illustrates, stupid is as stupid does.

I believe the author makes some excellent points.

Person of no account dies and no account is taken. Not shocking.

Person of accomplishment falls from grace and dies, it’s got a hook.

It’s that simple. And please, look how much ink was spilt for St. Trayvon.

She was also a doctor, that by itself makes it news worthy.

The authoress should stop whining.

I’m tired of being told I’m a bad person and “privileged” because I’m white.

Some “privilege.”

“Demetria” wrote a book, according to the bottom of that article. The title is ripped off from a white author’s quote, “ Don’t waste the pretty.”
So SHE named her book “Don’t Waste Your Pretty.”
Sure hope Whitey got credit in the acknowledgments, otherwise she would be a racist journalist, wouldn’t she?

Young white men/women (boys/girls) die regularly from drug overdoes without any media coverage. This is particularly the case in suburbs across the fruited plain. The fact that this woman was a doctor, a bit beyond her teens, and with children of her own is what makes it newsworthy.

This just goes to show you that well-to-done white women/men/people are just as stupid as those who aren’t as well off.

They both end up dead in some shit-hole. That is the tragedy and the waste.

Actually, I haven’t seen much compassion in th coverage. I’ve seen a lot of shock and a lot of anger, that somebody with all these good things and a good family should throw it all away like this.
