Jaquilla Scales, 4, disappeared from her Wichita, Kansas home during the midnight hours of September 5, 2001. Her mother, Eureka, was only 14-years-old when she gave birth to Jaquilla so the little girl’s great- grandmother had primary custody. Also living in the home were Jaquilla’s two-year-old brother and two of their uncles. She was discovered missing from her bed at 3:00 a.m. The family dog didn’t bark and the back door was broken, so it couldn’t lock. Eureka was spending the night at a friends that evening. After Jaquilla’s disappearance, her brother was removed from the home by CPS. It took three years for him to be returned to his mother and now the two live just a few houses away from where Jaquilla was last seen. Police initially treated the case as a kidnapping, but as the investigation carried on they began to have doubts. Jaquilla is still missing and would be 21-years-old today. Jaquilla has black hair and brown eyes. Her upper teeth are decayed. She has a brown birthmark on the left side of her face and a scar on her upper right leg. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Wichita Police Department at 316-268-4646. She is our sister and her life matters.

It is suprising how much Afro-American males are being victimized within their own ‘home/territory’ by the American police (ironically, white). Could this be the beginning of a mass killing? or even genocide? Mass violence is easy to carry out, its not a neighbor killing neighbor story. Its carried by minority of people (specialists in violence, military/ police), which never make up 1 to 2% of population. this means its not representative of society just like 5% of U.S men in prison are not representative of population. Therefore, the balance between perpetuators and victims not important. The problem is that groups in every society hate each other, this doesn’t mean its acceptable to kill each other. Increased groups, less hatred? Does this only happen in the uncivilized world? Which sounds to me a case of ethnocentrism. Minority groups are inferior is world wide misconception which has been coined by Western understanding. In addition, Inter-marriage rates prior to genocide in Rwanda, higher than African Americans in the U.S  which shows the prejudice which is very much alive.  Our society is isolated (the West) from organized violence ,because we’ve been insulated we don’t pay attention to it, when on other parts of the world. Yet, were still careless and uninformed when it happens within our own borders.
