That is complete nonsense. In Wyoming there was a woman who was a known abuser, who was allowed to keep her several young children with nothing but ocassional checks by DFS. Only thing is, DFS didn't have enough people to check consistently and as a result she beat one daughter to death and stored her in a plastic bag in the garage for over a year before it was discovered. Even then, they had no idea how many children she had at one time. She was white.

Conversly, there were black parents who had their children removed under much less extreme circumstances. Racism and its assumptions are alive and well among some of the law enforcement and social agencies. I see the same types of things regarding Hispanics, too.

Where's the OJ-like media hype in the case of that white actor who was recently charged with killing his wife?

The media is always looking for an angle on which to "hook" viewers, so they can get more advertising dollars. If they can do so using ethnicity, they will. If they can do so using the fact that a woman is a single parent, they will (I am thinking of the case several years ago, the mother who drowned her kids.) Nobody gets treated equally in the media, no matter how much you might want to believe that.
