Missing Girl Alert( Non-White)

[ls317]

Latoyia Figueroa is still missing after 8 days. And as tragic as the Natalee Holloway case might be, Natalee doesn't have a seven year old child wondering where she is, nor was Natalee (to the best of our knowledge) 5 months pregnant.

Here's an overview of the important details in this “missing woman” case:

1) Latoyia (we should only use her first name) is not white.
2) She does not have blonde hair.
3) She was not scheduled to get married last weekend.
4) She's from West Philadelphia.
5) There may actually be a lead or two in her case.
6) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.
7) To the best of our knowledge, no one from Texas has yet offered to bring in cadaver dogs to search for Latoyia, nor have forensic dive teams volunteered to scour the Schuylkill or Delaware rivers.
8 ) Also to the best of our knowledge, the FBI hasn't been requested to participate in the investigation, nor have any DNA samples been rushed to Washington, DC.
9) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.

I hope this enough for you to run with - certainly, the crackerjack CNN research team available to you can fill in any speculative details or obscure leads of prurient interest. While it's doubtful that Latoyia's family can offer $100 reward, much less $1 million (as has Natalee's), I'm sure they'd still have an undying gratitude for any of your viewers who could turn up a lead on Latoyia.

1. CNN's response...

..."not sexy enough."

[ls317]

2. She is from the Hood???

I am guessing that AMW will pick up this case before MSM will!

3. I have been thinking the same thing from day 1

OH my look what we have a blonde hair white girl who is missing. What if she was non-white? I have yet to really voice these opinions very loudly.

15. I think there was a thread or a comment made about

the difference between the reaction to missing white children (especially those with BLONDE hair and BLUE eyes..the Aryan) and missing black children.

There IS a difference in how the controlled media reacts. Also, the white kids who go missing and are talked about endlessly on the media tend to come from upper middle class families who know how to work the media machine.

4. Where I live, we get the Philly news, including West Philly and

some of these reporters are so smug, I could reach through the tv and bitch-slap them. It's especially when they report on children being shot by gangs or drug dealers, women being murdered by their boyfriend, drug deals gone bad, etc, etc. The reporters stand there with this look on their face as if to say, "Well, consider the neighborhood" or something like that and it makes me want to scream.

5. Sorry, nothing for Nancy Grace to blow her stack about here. nt

[bushisanidiot]

6. Where's Fox "news" on this???? where's ANY of the right wing spin machine

fucking hypocrites.

[hiley]

7. Thank you for saying this

so well.

8. How does posting this get us any closer to finding Natalee Holloway?

sarcasm intended

[dhinojosa]

21. LOL!

zing!!!

[Rich Hunt]

9. kick n/t

[David Zephyr]

10. Kick.

:thumbsup:

11. This won't get nearly the attention Natalee did because

it's suppose to happen in her neighborhood. School shootings have been happening for decades but it wasn't until they started happening in places like Columbine that it was an epidemic. Drugs are never a problem until they become popular in the suburbs. The media cares when blonde teens vacationing in Aruba or pregnant married white women from Modesto go missing but if you're not white, not married, and pregnant with your second child well then...

[sojourner]

12. kick!

[BamaBecky]

13. I actually think Natalie's mom has been the force behind the coverage

in Aruba.......If she had gone home a couple of days later.....it would be a dead story........They are from the Mountain Brook area of Birmingham, Alabama.......I suspect that the wealthy families in Mountain Brook are helping to cover expenses for Natalie's family. She said on TV the other day that their friends had raised a reward for Natalie.....

I hope to goodness both girls are found alive.....really

I have a teen age daughter of my own I worry about all the time!

19. If I went missing in Aruba my mom couldn't afford to stay there.

You're right.
Money talks.

Your kid is missing, your wife is sick.... money is the thing.

[rateyes]

14. Kick!

I pray they find both girls safe and sound. And, I pray that CNN and others WAKE THE HELL UP.

[dhinojosa]

16. Tomorrow I am changing my name to an anglo name

so if I ever go missing, people would give a damn about me.

[IndyOp]

18. Maybe you could turn this into a DU activity - a poll?

Based on 'dhinojosa' - you might go with "Hines" (sure to attract attention - white & wealthy) or maybe "Joseph" (white with religious reference - will play well on FAUX TV and maybe even The 700 Club).

What do you think?

End friendly, frustrated :sarcasm:

[dhinojosa]

20. Hmmmm. I like your suggestions....

but this Mexican tan I have is sure to be a problem.

[LibraLiz1973]

17. I agree with you on 95% of this BUT

Natalee's mom does NOT have a million dollars- that was donated by people across the country into the fund.

I think the Runaway Bride story was a god damn joke, but I don't think mocking the Holloway tragedy is cool either. The girl is missing, her parents are scared shitless, and it is not something you would wish on anyone. Let's be tactful about that. After day 4 or 5 it became more and more likely that her parents would bring her home in a casket- in light of todays developments I can only say that hopefully they will manage to get some closure.


As for Latoyia Figueroa - note that she was also jumped the week before she vanished. That seems really odd- and pretty ominous.

23. Natalee's family is very well off.

Mountain Brook is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, according to Wikipedia, and her parents paid for this trip to Aruba.

They may not have a million dollars, but I bet you they have more than many of us in this forum.

[Swamp Rat]

22. Does she have any oil?

:shrug:

24. Kick for Latoyia

I pray for your safe return.

[Bluebear]

25. Kick for Latoyia

26. Well Well

CNN Jumped and took the first step.
