I wanted to present this story today about something that we are all faced with. What is the difference in a black or white community when you smell rotting flesh? When you smell the stench of death, does color really matter? A 50 year old black man from Cleveland, Ohio is being accused and faced his first day in court today for the rape and murder of at least 10 black women. Have you heard of this story? Did this story make national headlines? If you have not heard of it, why not? Was this news “big” enough to go national? Jeffery Dahmers murders were “big” enough and his victims faces were plastered over the networks for many many months. Not only did they make local headlines, but they also gained the status to be considered “breaking News” and we know it has to be big for that to happen. Noone made “light” of the murders and they were all considered tragedies to say the least. Jeffery Dahmer was considered and still is barbaric and ferociously evil. Mention his name today, and some hair will rise. David Berkowitz who was known for his killing choice of “couples” in NewYork. That story made national headlines. It also gained much Public attention. Danny Rowling was another criminal mastermind who murdered senselessly and who gained “national fame” and notoriety from the heinous crimes that he committed.
It is safe to say that over 90% of the victims that each of these animals killed, raped, sodomized, tortured, bound, gagged, slaughtered…were all white. Could this be the reason for the media coverage? Can a black woman be treated as “equally” important during her untimely demise? Are we dealing with a racist media? When a black woman goes missing, do you feel that the same “coverage” is given to them as equal to the white woman? When a black man is murdered do you feel that the media coverage is equal to the coverage that if it had been a white man?
My first thoughts after learning that the coverage had not been given to these unfortunate black women in Cleveland was this…”It’s about time they aren’t plastering a black man all over the news again.” Then I realized that it was a set up. We won’t make a spectacle out of the black man, neither will we give a damn when they kill each other or when one of them is raped, murdered, and so on. Basically, we will only “cover” when it is an elected “official” and the like. There in lies the problem. With blinders on, you cannot see the injustice. Every one of these “Missing women” should have been plastered on the news. FOX has news in many distant states, have you seen the coverage of this story? I was listening to Michael Baisden today, and this sparked my interest in this case. I’m going to get the names of these women and create a story about them. There names and faces need to be remembered and if it’s the little thing that I can do to not make this animal Anthony Sowell be a martyr, I’ll be doing it. He is no hero, his victims deserved to receive “air time”. It is being said that no one really knew what happened to these women, and that they just vanished. Every one of these women has a name and a face. We owe it to our selves to look at black, white, Asian, Latino, Mexican and all the other races to give “fair media coverage” and fair search efforts for all of our missing. I’ve written about Tracy Ocasio, I’ve written about Jennifer Kesse. I’ve seen their faces and know their stories. Let’s see what else is out there that the media is not telling us about.
