However, you wo...I feel sorry for Natalee's family. However, you would think from watching the news that the only people who go missing in the United States are middle-to-upper class white females!<BR/><BR/>At about the same time Natalee disappeared, there were three other people who went missing in Birmingham, AL: an African-American high school assistant principal (whose body was just recently found), a middle-aged African-American female who was a cafeteria worker, and a 12 year-old white girl who was from the wrong part of town. I did not see any of them on CNN.<BR/><BR/>Natalee, BTW, was from Mountain Brook, a very rich part of Birmingham. The income per capita in Mountain Brook is higher than that of Beverly Hill, CA.<BR/><BR/>The last I heard, the governor of Alabama has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Natalee's whereabouts. Meanwhile, an African-American family of three--a young man and his grandparents, disappeared within the past month. Governor Riley has offered a mere $5000 for information about them. So, three African-Americans are worth a tenth of one rich white girl.<BR/><BR/>I find this disgusting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1118711978483590022005-06-13T20:19:00.000-05:002005-06-13T20:19:00.000-05:00I was gonna say.The same news cycle that sees Emme...I was gonna say.<BR/>The same news cycle that sees Emmett Till exhumed supports this sort of yellow journalism?!

I know people will remember the Susan Smith story from a few years back where she killed her 2 little boys in SC and blamed in on a black man. Oooooh, it just makes me so freaking mad. I hope Amnesty Intl gets involved and sues the Aruban government over this shit.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247304081342415827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1118689340555164692005-06-13T14:02:00.000-05:002005-06-13T14:02:00.000-05:00ABB I was thinking along the same lines all weeken...ABB I was thinking along the same lines all weekend. The guys who were ACTUALLY INVOLVED didn't get drug before the cameras and pulled out their homes in a perp walk for the world to see. Hmmmm. I wonder why? Could it be because they're NOT BLACK? Noooo, couldn't be. The main guy is a Dutch national--son of a FREAKING DUTCH JUSTICE MINISTRY OFFICIAL. Have we seen HIS FACE yet? According to a story on Google News lawyers for the black security guards are asking for their release and even Natalee's "girls gone wild" mother has said she believes they are innocent! Now aint that a bitch.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247304081342415827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1118688353986510402005-06-13T13:45:00.000-05:002005-06-13T13:45:00.000-05:00Aruba's legal system is Dutch (subtext: white). Do...Aruba's legal system is Dutch (subtext: white). Doesn't surprise me that they're going whole hog on the black men they picked up. As a whole, I think last year they had six rapes. It's a relatively safe country. <BR/><BR/>I agree about it being tragic, but not necessarily "newsy". Just the media striking up the ol' "Fear Machine" they do so well. What else is going on in the world which this story is deflecting our attentions? <BR/><BR/>I think there are so many different angles to this. The one I find repugnant, or two, rather is the fact that she was allowed to go there in the first place. And what does she do with what was probably her first taste of freedom? Probably got drunk and lined up a four way gangbang with some strangers--and her girl"friends" let her go. <BR/><BR/>This story is so fucked up from so many different angles.Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159539883712835177noreply@blogger.com
