Missing Black Woman Receives NO Media Coverage for 5 Months

January 18th, 2012 - By MN Editor

When white women go missing, it’s a cause for national concern. The nation learns their names and vital information about their lives before they disappeared.

When a black woman goes missing, usually the local news covers the story.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for thirty-five-year-old Shandell McLeod of Georgia. McLeod had been missing for five months before the media started covering her absence.

Find out what information they do have on McLeod and what her family has to say about the lack of media coverage at theGrio.com.

    SAD but not shocking…I believe her age also has something to do with it because the public usually responds more to teens, kids and babies.

    No shock here, when you’re white, you’re alright and when you’re black, stay back, that’s how it is in Amerikkka! #MWWS

    I thought white men love black women? If they did, why do they not use their media power to save the very same life of a black woman?  BTW this is the same scenario in Europe too. When a black european woman goes missing : NO ONE CARE.  But, as, you said, white men love black women.

      but funny tho, how its mostly your white men who are causing women (both black and white) to go missing

      Who is stating white men love black women.  What you don’t understand is that they do not report it when any other women go missing as well.  How many stories about Asian women are missing or hispanic only white.  I saw a man who had killed 7 of his Asian brides and no one reported any of them missing.  We are not talking about ir dating and we are talking about media.  They are two different things.

    • reese

      Name twenty women of any race besides white in the same group who were reported missing?

      Your trolling again I see. Why don’t you find a life instead of harping over black women. Your so obsessed with us to the point of tlking about us in a manner that’s nt even relevant to the post. Get a life and a clue. No one cares about your opinions.

    I am not surprised. Minorities never get big media coverage when they go missing. I hope this woman is found.

    It’s a bit frightening to know that if I go missing, that the likely hood of media coverage attempting to locate me is slim. 

    But, what I also feel is the problem is that we have to either put our face in the justice system completely or say to hell with it. We can’t keep saying we don’t trust cops and politicians and government officials one minute, then yell that they are doing nothing for our community the next. This is why it’s very important to be involved with local politics. To encourage young people of color to join the police department, to seek law degrees, to go to school for journalism so we don’t have to rely on ‘their’ help for anything.
