Black People & The Media -

Its is quite apparent that Black people don't get a good deal from the media.
Its over 100 days off uninterrupted coverage of Madeline disappearance. But would a Black or Asian family get the same coverage.
I'm not saying there case shouldn't have as much coverage as possible but there should be some equality.
Likewise the terrible case of the boy shot in liverpool by a boy on a Bmx bike sounds similar to the boy shot in Stockwell by boys on bikes. One had Sky News broadcasting live from the scene the next day...the other......??
I've also wonder how the news agency pick their news stories.
It angers me that nothing is taken seriousily until it happens to a white person. I know people will say it is expected but I would like to think things could be different.
