The following report is by The Washington Examiner:
Like an Amber Alert, the Golden State’s new “Ebony Alert” is designed to notify the public when black children and young black women and girls between the ages of 12 and 25 go missing.
The age range is an expansion from a previous law that limited alerts to 17 years old or younger.
The law, set to go into effect on Jan. 1, was passed unanimously by both chambers of California’s legislature.
California is taking bold and needed action to locate missing black children and black women in California.
Our black children and young women are disproportionately represented on the lists of missing persons. This is heartbreaking and painful for so many families and a public crisis for our entire state.
Democratic state Sen. Steven Bradford, who led the legislation, said in a press release.
According to the Black and Missing Foundation, cited by Bradford, 38% of missing children reported in the United States are black, and a recent human trafficking report found 40% of sex trafficking victims were black women.
Bradford said that black children are often classified as “runaways” as opposed to “missing” and do not receive an Amber Alert or media attention.
The “Ebony Alert” allows law enforcement to tell State Highway Patrol to activate highway signs notifying motorists of a missing person if the investigating agency believes it would help find the child or young adult. Bradford also says it “encourages” media outlets to disseminate information about the missing person.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People California Hawaii State Conference also helped usher the bill through passage.
The law “represents a historic breakthrough, guaranteeing that black children and young black women will receive the attention and protection they need when they are reported missing,” CA/HI NAACP President Rick L. Callender said. “This is a great first step to mitigating the racial inequities when it comes to black women and children when they go missing.”
California has other similar alert systems, including the Amber Alert for missing children generally, Blue Alert for people who attack law enforcement, the Silver Alert for missing seniors and people with disabilities, and the Feather Alert for missing Native Americans.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
James 2:9
I really don’t have much more to say to this nonsense anymore. It’s Californication, what else is new?
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

That moron is a complete groveler for votes case he runs for pres. When will the Black folks realize that he don’t care what happens to them or the Hispanic people ether or anyone for that matter!
Californication! That’s perfect. Merging all together….don’t they realize there aren’t white & black or distinctions anymore? They’ve ‘won’ and are reaping what they’ve sown. There’s only what you get when you erase all the boundaries & distinctions, or when you mix all the colors together….nothing but non-distinct muddy brown. Dead & dying dirt, dead men walking, true zombies, without the truth & quickening spirit of God that alone can bring life & light, or make of it anything good.
Amen
