This story points out the systemic racism in our society, starkly accentuating the difference between how the disappearance of a young white woman and the disappearance of a person of color is treated; the lack of urgency and coverage.

@walteryoung3056 ~ Without realizing it, you're alluding to the very problem you seek to deny. The story of this young black man is just as compelling, if not more, and his disappearance far more mysterious. You're right that there are thousands of people that go missing, but then why is it that invariably the stories of young, attractive white women get the most attention by the public, law enforcement, and the media?

@Ninnjette- ~ You're being disingenuous and twisting things. Nobody is even implying that we should not search for ANY missing person. Nor is a denial of historical societal misogyny in any way being implied. But are you sure you're not feeding into historical societal patriarchal misogynistic stereotypes that women are weak and inferior and in need of protection?

@ginahickman1806 ~ Almost certainly; most young people are. I'm sure most people weren't aware that Gabby was on social media. It's not clear what point you're trying to make, but it's completely irrelevant.

@Ninnjette- ~ Triggered by the truth, you've become vituperative, vile, and vindictive, seeking to hide behind more disingenuity. Your own words from the comment you made to this video just an hour ago expose you as a fraud, a hypocrite, and a partisan troll, Doc! Ninjette: "Hey CNN... why don't you do missing person cases from gang violence in Chicago?... The only reason you did this story was to pander to people about the white girl that went missing... You people are see-through" PS----"wily" is not a boy's name.

@sallytheseeker9358 ~ Not to boast, but coincidentally my youngest is much like Gabby; she is almost exactly the same age, trim, and very beautiful. There are other similarities, as well. Still, even though she (and those of us who know and love her) would unduly benefit from the systemic racism in our society were she to turn up missing, I wouldn't feel right about it, and that's not how things should be.

@vinceonyoutube ~ Rather than repeat myself, refer to my reply in this thread to sullyw333.

@ginahickman1806 ~ I hadn't made any assumptions about you, wasn't sure where you were coming from. As a matter of fact, just saw another reply of yours in a different thread I'm also on, and after seeing that had thought that maybe your question to me had just been expressing sarcastic disgust at the disparity. Anyway, don't find Gabby's social media presence particularly relevant, because there's much more people who didn't know her than those familiar with her, and because popularity shouldn't matter when it comes to missing persons.

@walteryoung3056 ~ I actually did answer all your questions, it just wasn't the answers you wanted. I also upvoted your last reply, because I believe you really didn't see how your questions were somewhat disingenuous, and perhaps you really do have a desire to understand. It isn't that every missing person can get extensive attention from the public, the media, and law enforcement. It's the inordinate and disproportionate amount given to attractive white females and the corresponding lack of attention given to POC that signals a problem.

@altacal6165 ~ You personally attack me, hurl baseless allegations against me, and then unwittingly destroy your own argument, Doc! Is that suppose to somehow convince me?
2
@walteryoung3056 ~ None of your arguments were ignored, but you can pretend otherwise if you wish. My position was already clarified, which involves more than just media coverage.
2
@walteryoung3056 ~ Your initial reply was answered in the aggregate, which you appear intelligent enough to have recognized. Your questions are disingenuosly framed to achieve the answers you want. Yet, here you are, complaining about the quality of discussions on YouTube, which is a bit ironic and hypocritical!
