Actually, I want to say that I agree with Dr.Phil. It almost goes along the line of a joke made at that expense on (I think) Family Guy. It commented on how when a bus full of children were killed when a bus went over the cliff, noone cared about the kids, except when they named a "white" girl. Then, the announcer said he messed up and the girl was hispanic. The group of reporters/ spectators sighed and said something like, "That isn't news." It was meant as a joke but, in all actuality, when attractive white women (Natalie Hollaway ring a bell) come up missing-the media cares. If a young black male comes up missing, people don't seem to care as much. Sad but, true.
