Her parents made her into a hypersexualized little Barbie. The media made her into a demi goddess. I for one have little or no compassion for her any longer simply because she's been shoved down my throat for the last decade. What happened to the 13 disabled Black children that were kept locked in crates last year by their white foster family? No one knows because it's non news. They are living. They will suffer for the rest of their lives because of what those people did. Jon Benet is dead, life goes on. I don't give a fuck if she was blonde and she would have grown up to be Miss America, I really don't. What empathy I might have had for her is tainted by the fact that they are making her life more valuable than anyone else on the planet. Rest in Peace Jon Benet because I'm sure your soul is tired of being pimped.
You are basically right. The are some serious and deep issues connected to this obcessive fixation. The topic doesn't really deserve our attention so why give it anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt's 2:20PM on the West Coast, and I am here thinking, after reading this blog entry, maybe Scottie and the Anonymous poster, is stretching it a bit with the excessive Coverage. So what do I do, I open the following websites :
ReplyDeletewww.cnn.com
www.abcnews.com
www.cbsnews.com
www.foxnews.com
www.nbcnews.com
And sadly, they all headlined with the Jon Benet story.
Reminds me of this clip from Youtube :

Me, I don't give two cents about JonBenet Ramsey. I'm more concerned with coping with inequality, racism and sexism than with such triviality such as the dead blond girl. What about the dead black girls and women? They have value too. Yet, the media wants to keep the focus on the blondes, JonBenet and Natlee. Until they treat Black girls with value, I keep on ignoring blonde girls until they do.
