To me it's pretty obvious why only rich white kids that are kidnapped get coverage... Their parent's peers control the media.

There are not a whole lot of prominant black media moguls in the world. And the fact still remains, if you don't have money, you're not important.

The balance of power is very white in this country. No one cares about the 14th poor black girl that was killed this year, her parent's votes don't count anyway, and they definately ain't contributin' to no campaign.
