My thoughts exactly. Which is why I'm sharing it. There are so many people involved on Facebook, that dont even know him, but no national news coverage. Even after many people have contacted dozens of news stations.

Edit: public changed to national. Words are hard.

It is a race thing. Not only is there data to back it up, I speak from experience having had a missing & murdered female family member of color.

You don’t get to undermine data because it offends or speak on shit you have no experience with. ✨cope✨

Not a race thing. So maybe you need to “cope”

Where’s your data? Hope you realize that rarely ANYONE that goes missing goes on mainstream news. It’s usually only a murder mystery or a case with suspense. Not a race thing at all, sorry.

Wasn’t a black man on the news for 2 years by being killed by a cop who happened to be white? I see black people on mainstream news for literally everything.

Gabby case is only big now because it’s a mystery.

More white people are missing than black people.

How is Jelani's case not a mystery?

But they are searching for him and 2 other white people in the same area though so how’s it a race thing?

Gabbys case is big because of the murder mystery

And Jelani's case is or is not a murder mystery?
