Please. For one second, imagine if all of the major true crime podcasts you listened to only reported stories about black people. And maybe one or two white people every so often. At some point, you'd wonder what's going on. That's all I want you to take from this. Please.
5 stars to acknowledge the immense amount of time and effort it takes to research, produce and edit podcasts consistently for so many years. It's great to shed light on so many stories and help bring exposure to unsolved cases. I also love the actionable tips for everyday sketchy situations.
I just wish these podcasts (all of them do the same thing) would make more of an effort to talk about black people's stories. We already don't get fair treatment in life in general (shout-out to EEO laws and diversity hirings), interactions with law enforcement, the criminal justice system, etc.
This pattern continues even in death. White people still get more exposure, more resources, etc. How many cases of a cute white girl going missing instantly make national news? Almost every single one. Mayors get involved, multiple law enforcement agencies chip in to help, their stories are featured on dateline NBC and America's Most Wanted.
The worst part is that I know our stories aren't neglected on purpose. It's just what happens because, it's what always happens, historically. And it'll probably keep happening.
I know your show has had cases involving black people. (This is the equivalent of the 'I have a black friend!' defense) I'm obviously not going to count but it's safe to estimate that probably 95% of your episodes are about white people. I get it, it's just sad to see over and over and over.
