No Media Coverage For Our Missing Black Women: Jade "Sage" McKissic!

It's October, when will the junk food media cover the latest missing white woman or girl?

Oh, I forgot the "hostages" from Israel. That is certainly junk food media coverage. No talk about all the Palestinian hostages. All you hear is prisoners when you mention Palestinians.

If the victims are white, the Republicans and President Donald J. Trump will react to it in their hyperpartisan fashion.

We just breezed by a story that could have gotten national attention. Hell, it could have saved her life if we could have put the pressure on social media and drive it to national prominence.

It is like I am letting down all those missing Black, Brown Indigenous and transgender women. They are often victims of unfortunate circumstances but often vilified by the junk food media over past transgressions.

And this Israel females coverage. The coverage of these people are greater than that poor 5-year old girl who died by IDF terrorists while begging an operator to save her life.

Hind Rajab never had an opportunity to grow.

When Isrsel kills a large group of people, the victims images are shown. Israel dismisses it as a propaganda. Israel would make up allegations that the people killed were staged actors.

The plight of Palestinians and the plight of Black women. One in the same or just a coincidence?

The white Israeli women are more important to the U.S. junk food media than American women who are Black, Indigenous, poor or coming from a troubled upbringing. 

The names of people who were local news stories. No national news coverage.

You know more about the Israeli women who were either settlers or IDF soliders being released from Gaza. They were given wall to wall coverage from U.S. media outlets.

A University of Houston student who had been missing since last week was found dead, according to the Houston Police Department. 

The body of Jade "Sage" McKissic was pulled from Brays Bayou near Spur 5 South on the afternoon of Monday, September 15. The scene is less than a mile from the UH campus.

The 20-year-old UH junior had been missing since September 11. She was last seen leaving LA Burgers and Daiquiris on North MacGregor Way near Scott Street in the Third Ward. Friends told police that they'd been partying at local bars and McKissic left alone without her cell phone. 

Surveillance video shows McKissic going to a gas station next door to buy a drink and then walking toward Brays Bayou.

Police said her body was found about 2.5 miles from where she was last seen. They said there were no signs of trauma or foul play. 

An autopsy is being done to determine McKissic's cause of death.

A relative told KHOU 11 that the news came as a total shock.

The relative said McKissic, whose nickname was Sage, had always been a great student who was involved in church and school groups.

According to a Facebook post, McKissic worked as a desk assistant on campus and was part of the student orientation team.

Missing white woman syndrome is a term used by some social scientists and media commentators to denote perceived disproportionate media coverage, especially on television, of missing-person cases toward white females as compared to males, or females of color. Supporters of the phenomenon posit that it encompasses supposed disproportionate media attention to females who are young, attractive, white, and upper middle class. Although the term was coined in the context of missing-person cases, it is sometimes used of coverage of other violent crimes. The phenomenon has been highlighted in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and other predominantly white countries, as well as South Africa.

The phenomenon has led to a number of tough-on-crime measures, mainly on the political right, that were named for white women who disappeared and were subsequently found harmed. In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size, and youthfulness have been identified as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women was more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends, criminal history, or drug addiction, while coverage of white women often tended to focus on their roles as mothers, daughters, students, and contributors to their communities.

The Laken Riley Act which is a controversial law that eliminates due process. An example of a missing woman, a criminal of color, political theater and more laws that eliminate freedoms under guise of protecting.

How many women of color are killed by white men?

Do white men often troll social media with "thoughts and prayers" to women of color?

It is an easy answer......!

Former kidnapping victim and victim's rights advocate Elizabeth Smart has pressed the junk food media to give attention to all people missing (especially woman of color). She voiced frustration over missing Black and indigenous woman who rarely get coverage.

Her case attracted major media attention and led to the arrest of two predators. She stated that the junk food media needs to do better when it comes to covering victims.

Again, we here at Journal de la Reyna want to see all missing persons found safely, regardless of color. However, we want the same amount of time spent to finding women of color, children, men and other women who never get the attention.

It's a real coined term to media coverage of missing white women who get nonstop coverage. You know more about this person than the thousands of people missing everyday.

In addition to race and class, factors such as supposed attractiveness, body size and youthfulness function as unfair criteria in the determination of newsworthiness in coverage of missing women. News coverage of missing black women were more likely to focus on the victim's problems, such as abusive boyfriends or a troubled past, while coverage of white women often tend to focus on their roles as mothers or daughters.

Black women and indigenous women are missing far more and yet they never get the attention that white women get. Think about Gabby Petito and the amount of attention she and her killer got.

Usually if the victim is a white woman and the suspect is Black or an immigrant, the Republicans will exploit the tragedy to encourage white nationalists to vote. 

The world may never see Colin Flaherty's rotten ass ever again.  However, there are more like him in the waiting. Believe me, Andy Ngo, Chaya Raichik, Benny Johnson, Candace Owens, Laura Loomer, Kevin Jackson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Larry Elder and Michelle Malkin will suck the cock of white supremacy for a buck.
