ABDUCTIONS AND MEDIA RACISM/PLEASE REPOST

PLEASE REPOST for whirlwind coalition thanks!

Truthfully (and I’m only speaking about NY where I’m very familiar with what is reported in the local media) Black children, black girls and black women being abducted or being murdered is NEVER big news. White children, girls and women go missing and it’s all over the front page and local news.
A couple of years ago a beautiful happy young black bride to be just vanished, steps away from her intended’s parents house, the family begged the local television and newspaper media to help. Television and newspaper media were not interested. They only reported on the story (ONCE that I’m aware of) after her body was found, a week later. Had the media been interested she might’ve been found alive who knows. Meanwhile around the same time a young white woman went missing -front page news and local tv every day publicizing it, demanding justice and after her body was found the media still demanded answers…….It’s just plain wrong that, because of my skin color, my disapearance would garner mainstream media attention and any female with a different skin tone would not merit the same or maybe any attention ……..Until it’s too late, and then only slightly. This girl, Chanel Petro-Nixon’s disapearance was NOT really reported when it happened. It IS a matter of valuing one person’s life over another based on skin color, and even if we don’t actually have a hand in any direct racism regarding these matters, we do have a hand in letting it prevail. Caucasions must ALSO complain to the mainstream media about this kind of stuff -what? Whites only care about whites? xoxo-Monica Nelson

By the way I apologize to anyone involved in her life for using this beautiful young girl as a platform to bring this up and I realize it’s probably tacky of me but how else can I bring it up?
Should I just keep my mouth shut or something? By the way way I got this bulletin there was no contact number so I have to look it up somewhere for those in NY. Sorry. I wanted to get this out right away

========================= Chanel Petro-Nixon murdered….and no one is talking…Someone on the busy streets of New York knows who committed this horrific murder. Chanel needs and deserves justice…and the justice won’t come until someone comes forward and tells what they saw….and while the streets remain quiet…with no one talking just remember…the person who did this to Chanel is still out there…If you know…the only right thing to do is expose this lunatic…..and you can do this under the protection of the Law…you do not have to testify…and you do not have to give your name…the only persons name the police are interested in is the name of the person or persons responsible for the Murder of Chanel….
16 year-old Chanel Petro-Nixon didn’t deserve to die this way.

Friends and family call Chanel Petro-Nixon the “perfect” kid. She got straight A’s, went to church every Sunday, and lit up a room with her smile.
The question detectives now have is, who would want to see her dead?

On Father’s Day of 2006, Chanel left her home in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn to walk down the street to meet a friend and then go to a job interview at Applebees. She wanted to get a summer job — and she had the interview all lined up. But, she never made it to the restaurant — or to meet her friend. A few days later, Chanel’s strangled body was found in a trash bag, just blocks from her home.

The startling and downright scary part for investigators: no one is telling them anything. Chanel went missing on an extremely busy stretch of road in Brooklyn in broad daylight. Dozens of people were most likely sitting on stoops in front of their homes or shopping across the street at a line of stores. But so far, no witnesses can be found. And it’s not for lack of trying. Detectives have put in thousands of hours searching for whoever killed Chanel. But so far, police haven’t been able to find a motive for the crime. They haven’t even been able to find anyone who disliked Chanel.

Mystery: Three Days, No Chanel

Another puzzling part for detectives: the timeline of this case. Chanel left her home around 6:00 pm on Sunday July 18, 2006. Her body was found on July 22, 2006 around 8:30am. The Medical Examiner puts her time of death at less than 24 hours before she was found. The question: where was she between the time she left her home and the time she was killed?

That’s more than 48 hours unaccounted for. Was Chanel kidnapped and taken somewhere and tortured? The torture part is unlikely because when Chanel was found she wasn’t sexually assaulted and had no marks on her body. Was she taken somewhere and locked in a room for two days before she was killed? And, where was she strangled?

These are all questions NYPD detectives are struggling to answer. You can’t go anywhere in Brooklyn without seeing posters that scream “Somebody Knows Something.” But so far, people are silent.
