When an attractive woman who happens to have blonde hair
and blue eyes, or that overall Barbie doll appearance, goes
missing or is the victim of a homicide, often the national media
erupts into a frenzy of activity even before all the facts are
known.

It’s the perfect case to hype for the highest ratings possible
because of these facts:

1). a white victim
2.) a white victim with blonde hair
3.) terrified and tearful white parents and family

As Americans, when the above elements are present, we can
all grieve together at the outrageousness of the crime.

This is what we have been programmed to do.

There will be no doubt that Nancy Grace, Greta Van Susteren
and Jane-Velez Mitchell will be on the job.

All over it to the point of nausea.

Yet things are not always this way. NBA superstar Kobe Bryant
was once accused of rape. The case went away, of course,
because the alleged victim was found out to be something of
a headcase and thus not entirely credible.

Ever hear of Alvin Robertson?

Alvin Robertson is no Kobe Bryant. He’s a retired NBA
ballplayer who during his time in the league wasn’t Superman.
But he was all-star quality and averaged over 14 points a game
over 10 seasons with some of the league’s prestige ballclubs,
such as the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons.

As a now ex-professional ballplayer Alvin Robertson has had
his difficulties adjusting to normal everyday life and has been
in frequent trouble with the law.

Mostly of the domestic variety involving girlfriends. He was
actually sentenced to prison to serve three years on a probation
violation charge involving an accusation of a sex crime.

It gets worse.

Now as ridiculous and incredible, as it seems, this same former
NBA all-star is accused of participating in a child sex slavery
ring involving a 14 year-old. The child was allegedly kidnapped,
transported across state lines, forced to have sex with clients,
and to dance at a nightclub in Corpus Christi, Texas.

If the facts are true this is a horrible circumstance for the
young victim and she is likely to be emotionally-scarred for
life.

The bigger wonder for the rest of us, especially with all the
fascinating and very troubling elements that the alleged crime
entails, is why has the national media taken a pass on this
one?

There is nothing that is more damaging to a human being than
a violation that is sexual in nature. Such unfortunate
circumstances can be emotionally devastating and in far too
many cases, the resulting psychological scarring is permanent

This past September, former child star McKenzie Phillips went
public with an allegation that she had engaged in a sexual relationship with her now deceased father, John Phillips, that
was consensual in nature.

Just this week on CNN’s “The Joy Behar Show,” McKenzie Philips
went one step father in her denunciation of her father and added
a clarification.

Phillips has all but accused her father of actual rape, even
though at the date of the alleged first incestuous incident
she was a nineteen-year-old woman.

Our sympathy for McKenzie Philips is genuine if her allegations
are true. That’s the problem. John Philips is dead and cannot
defend himself against these horrible claims by his own daughter.
Vile allegations that horrified and deeply hurt other members
of the Phillips family.

At this point, the truth is probably beyond knowing. People of
greater public standing and longer-term sobriety than Ms. Phillips
have been caught in blatant lies that were equally as horrific
as the claim of incest by Phillips.

This whole thing of celebrities needing to reveal their deepest
darkest secrets in print and on television, and to heal in public
sight is a great curiosity.

These kind of lurid public confessions fuel pure voyeurism of
the ugliest sort.

There is no definitive right or wrong here.

McKenzie Philips is an adult and has obviously made her choice.

Her father John Phillips, scoundrel he may have been, did not
receive the same opportunity while alive to publicly defend his
name and his reputation.
