Thousands of Minorities go Missing in America, And No One Cares

When nearly 300 Nigerian school girls were kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram and went missing in April, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls  became a rallying call to draw attention to the crime and to demand action.

Nations, including the United States, sent resources to Africa in hopes of finding those girls while every day, here in America, scores of black people go missing with little or no fanfare or calls to action.

The National Crime Information Center reports that more than 270,000 minorities have been reported missing since 2010. Almost half of that number is made up of African-Americans, and roughly 64,000 are African-American girls and women.

Where’s the hangtag? Where’s the media attention? Where’s the movement?

Silence.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
