There Are 64,000 Missing Black Women in The USA.
So Why Aren’t We Seeing Their Cases Reported in The Media?
Often Unsolved, Underreported.
According to National Center For Missing And Exploited Children, there were around 613,000 missing persons cases that were reported last year in the United States. Black women comprise around 7% of the entire population, yet the estimated number of them who’ve gone missing, including girls, is 64,000 — which is a bit more than 10% of those missing in the entire country. Woah.
Looking at this ratio, it is evident that there is a big problem. Yet, it can be argued that not many cases are being featured across media reports in this regard. Needless to say, these cases that aren’t being frequently reported on are also not being solved. What is happening to the black women and girls in America?
So Why Aren’t We Seeing These Cases?
People are starting to notice…and have labeled this bias as missing white woman syndrome.” Beyond a coined media term, this concept has significant, measurable impact. Apart from the obvious discriminatory nature of this, how can we break down the specific components of what is contributing to the problem?

It’s pretty clear why it’s not reported?
