      @Richard Lawrence , yes the goal of these pale face devil's is our extermination, facts. To many of our people are to docile to Organize on a professional level with a Urban Defense Force. Which consists of Dedicated black Attorneys on Constitutional law. And Former X Military Intelligence black men and black women. Our people have No back bone to Combat these pale face devil's. We are a lost people mentally.

    It just humiliate for law enforcement to tell you directly in your face that's your child do not mean anything just because they are black. What's is a shame like the woman in the video said when my child disappeared I did not get the media cover as this white woman and white child received. So therefore you know the law enforcement it's not looking for missing black kids they don't care if they missing it just one less black person they have to deal with.

    Here is the problem, society has a way of saying oh they are adolescents they ran away. When you are under the age of 18 years of age you do not have the right to just wander off and walk away from home. In the real world, a predator will always easily prey upon a child. I understand having the freedom to wander or leave without telling anyone as an adult, but too often when the parents and family state it is out of character for that person or adult to act in such fashion; for some reason, it is hardly heard by the authorities.
    If they are not home and they are under the age of 18, then that means they are endangered and should be treated as such regardless if there was a sign of struggle. Too often I hear officials use that excuse but the truth is that if you are a parent you are responsible for that child until they turn 18. So if they are not home the assumption should always be they are endangered. Any police department, Federal government agency that decides not to investigate a minor missing shouldn't be employed in that profession as mandated reporters/investigators of children in danger and it is apparent to me it is being reported as child/adult in danger.

    We are discriminated against in the media and black women and girls as slander.

    Praying for all the families that have a missing child. May the Lord provide comfort, strength and patience. (And most importantly May he bring them home)... Its ridiculous our kids dont get the coverage they deserve. We need to CONTINUE to support voices like Roland Martin and others...

    I definitely get their sentiment of being upset. Maybe all news channels/programs should devote 3- 5 minutes in their broadcast to just local missing persons in their area. That would help alot
