Attention is the Currency in the Marketplace of Ideas
Young white girls’ stories get told
When they disappear from the jogging path;
Young black girls just disappear.
Massacred teens’ stories get told
Until shouted down by rich white men.
The mentally ill are known only by their rampages,
and black men only by their records.
Black women are not heard, even in numbers.
Attention is the currency in the marketplace of ideas,
But its distribution is skewed.

I completely agree that attention is the currency of the day. Unfortunately it's due to lack of education and an open mind. I do feel that as a whole, America is trying to get better but we just aren't there and white people have the advantage.
