How concerned was the MSM about Ebola before a white missionary got sick?
*crickets*
It starts out well enough for him:

1. The MSM also likes to focus on missing white blondes
While missing black and brown girls don't get nearly the same coverage.
It's another example of how the MSM and the power structure in this country view the lives of minorities as less valuable.

3. What do you expect.
MSM is owned and controlled by greedy old white guys. Same crap just a new day. Many of us who were youngsters in the late 40's and early 50's remember the Polio,and small pocks out break. Major difference was,radio stations did not go fear mongering like the twits at Fake Noise and NBC and ABC. Most of the people running Media today never came in contact with any contagious disease in that time frame. The richies that lived on the hill never came any were near the infected people like my rich friend told me. Once the out breaks ebbed,then we could interact. Same crap just a new century. Yes there is racism in the white peoples ranks.
^ What do Proglodytes have against spaces after commas? It's not the first time I've noted the phenomenon.
But then it starts to fray...

7. I think the big news in this country was the first US case of Ebola, and the first death in the US.
Things like scary viruses are always bigger news when close to home. And I think that this would have been the case regardless of the victim's race.
The eagerness of some to inject race into everything is a little unseemly.
They try to salvage their racism:

10. Almost as unseemly as the eagerness of some to dismiss race in every instance...

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Insert distinction without a difference below.
Yeah...

9. Do you want a real answer, or the answer you've already decided on without looking it up?
I recall seeing stories all over the place about it. Maybe your attention was elsewhere, on some other
fanciful outrage?

11. If you have nothing better to do than engage in petty race baiting just
shut the hell up and get out of the way.
Criminy, people are dying horribly and others are risking their lives and families to care for them. The last thing this situation needs is charlatan antics trying to score cheap points off of other people's suffering.
Grow some goddam humanity already.
I'll take my chances with the jury.

12. Well said
The quality of discourse over the last several years here has degenerated to mere name calling and regurgitation of talking points. Once the home of great and principled debate, it is falling into a home for trolls and flame wars. High post counts are not always indicative of high intellect.

17. Some people find entertainment
in seeing if they can find a way to turn all topics and threads to their favorite subject. And yes, it's pretty nasty when someone worries more about publicity than people dying.
