The media definitely prefers the latter.

Too True.

Gotta love the size of the head under that hat. Gotta agree with the obvious disparity in effort depending on the race of the victim.

Excellent work as always.Sadly, as usual too true.

In light of this I don’t miss her.

Sure enough true. But…it’s not just the after-death response that’s unequal; it’s also everything that leads up to that point. Having tens of thousands of internet followers before the death is (separately) something that’s more easily reachable by some people (those considered conventionally photogenic, those used to plenty of internet access, those who believe there’s cultural space for their self-promotion) than others. Sure, I’d rather have a handful of excellent friends than 30,000 people who feel they know me…but 30,000 people who notice and care whether I drop off the planet are a formidable force.

But useful as it might be for each of us be followed by (say) a thousand people…nobody has the time or mental bandwidth to follow 1000 people in return. And THAT is yet another part of the recipe for inequality.

That’s White Man for you….

and sad

The “All lives matter” response to BLM is normally touted by those who think only one race really counts.

Pap for the masses. Media cake served up between commercials. Shiny object dangled before myopic brains. Drool stimulant. Duh incarnate in 1080HD. Aural asbestos, ocular opium. Our “Exceptionalism” on exhibit to the world 24/7/365 on 565 satellite channels for only $180.00 a month excluding sports package. “Watch me!! Watch me!!”

We.. tend to look after our own. Note that all the frenzied searchers are European Americans, sponsored by European American taxpayers using European American technology. Taint fair.. or even right, but sad reality.

Plus she was a cute blond /s

Sadly, this is FAR TOO ACCURATE!!!!! Thanks again for pointing out the obvious, Marty, even if it IS tragic that someone HAS TO DO IT!!!

The search for Gabby is just because her case grabbed the attention of the national news media. For all we know, the Indians and Alaskan natives also got much physical activity involved in their search, but the national media didn’t pick up on it. Why didn’t Al mention their plight, or was he too busy bashing Dems?

Numerous missing Blacks also with the same negligence.

That I’m mostly fed a diet of missing white women doesn’t make me or anyone else a racist, but it does say something about the editorial choices the media makes.

A very sad NBC documentary about missing Hispanic girls in Albuquerque, NM several years ago who were all killed by a serial killer. It was the father of one of the girls who does the nightly vigilance walking the streets looking for his daughter.

Nailed it, Mr. Two Bulls!

Exactly my sentiments. The national press goes nuts over a missing pretty young white woman; had she been Black, Hispanic or Native American, no one in the press would have noticed (or, probably, cared).

Is this a great country or what? Always prioritizing.

In today’s climate, it’s not hard to wonder if there is a police cover up involved. Whether, for the police or someone with friends in the police.

The woman in question was an e-celebrity, meaning that her disappearance generated a far greater amount of initial buzz than for most missing individuals. I’m thinking that this is what the media picked up on.

On a different issue, COVID:

Stubby (above) is trolling, as usual to deflect from the issue of this drawing to him.

Don’t answer the troll.

But most of the indigenous women were killed by someone of the own ethnicity. Oh, wait, so was Petito.

What would Dateline / 20-20 / 48 Hours do without missing white girls?

@guyjen Answers that he’s not a racist when no one said he was.

Kind of like how Rudy Giuliani tells people he’s not an alcoholic when no one brought it up.

on the positive side, this murder has led to a bit of questioning about how little interest has been shown in all the other disappearances and killings. doubtless, it’ll blow over, but still…

Brilliant as always Marty; I’m sorry to say how well drawn this is :-(

I’m so tired of MWWS; here in the NY Metro area, we’re getting inundated with it nightly.

I love your drawing style! Nails it!

Lots of white women also go missing without ever making headlines. Seems to me that what made the biggest difference this time was that she was already a celebrity.

Then again, if a non-white woman/girl were broadcasting a similar presence on the internet, would she have had such a following?

So it’s not that racism wasn’t/isn’t present, but I’d say that it’s far more pervasive than the current uproar is suggesting, infecting even a significant proportion of the faceless hordes who inhabit the “social” media.
