Of course there's racism but what's more important is that you're talking about PERCEIVED racism and not the actual thing... at least that was clearly the case on the McCann thread. Some people always drag that shit up, when there's no racism intended whatsoever.

The org is made up of real people. Including racist people.

im sure thats the case but this situation is being totally blown out of proportion.

...and i have to say that this thread and the other one in site discussion are further proof of my original analysis.

drama begets more drama.

its interesting, i was having dinner with a news manager of one of our local tv stations and we had a discussion about this girls kidnapping and the overreaction...he agreed with me and others didn't...just becuase folks dont agree on matters doesn't mean that they are racists or that they trying to do ill will on others...the fact of the matter is that i addressed the subject of the thread but others disagreed with it.

u and along with 2 others started the drama on the original Madeline McCann thread, so don't talk shit with your head up in your own ass

If you want to talk about racism on the org, I guess have at it, but if you really just want to rehash the thread in question, take it to orgnotes, please.

u did help instigate this drama.
Slamglam said: “ why is it only white kids get this type of response? How many children of color have gone missing since there is something wrong with the global mindset that reacts in this way to cute white kids”
You then agreed with slamglam: “ I agree… and I am surprised this is a sticky”
You openly questioned another moderator’s decision to make the thread a sticky.

I explained my point of view and how my country works I even explained to you in pm that I work with a lot of organisations personally helping find children that go missing. I also explained why I posted about Madeline in the prince community this was done due to the large volume of visitors all over Europe seeking prince tickets in the hope people would keep their eyes open in there areas of residence.

Red got upset due to the colour of skin keep getting mentioned then Red made the comment “if a child is missing whatever country, religion, class, it’s a child (taken out swear word) a poor frightened child has been taken away from its parents” then went onto say the thread brought awareness.

Slamglam then accused red of not caring about all children, her are the exact words.
“I take a stand for all the missing children of colour…it is not my fault you do not value all children of color”

You then went on to direct comments straight to red. I asked could we stop this and move to another thread so that we can educated each other on how the authorities media etc work in these missing children cases.

Then u posted that disgusting picture with the words above saying:
“And meanwhile poor ole Madeline is still kidnapped …what do we do? What do we
do?

How dare you do such a thing I have personally washed and dressed bodies adults and children so that their family members could view them I have even had to perused them that this is something they possibly need to do for closure explaining seeing a dead relative is not at all frightening [flame snip - CarrieMpls] SHAME ON YOU.

Everyone thought that picture was disgusting even slamglam.
Im so flipping angry just now you started this the thread was about an innocent child all anyone know that child maybe dead and you posted that sick picture [flame snip - CarrieMpls] WHAT THE HELL POSSES SOMEONE TO DO SUCH A THING
