When you turn on the news, and it's about a missing poor black or Latino elderly man or woman,

you'll know you've died and gone to Progressive Heaven.

1. Why is that Heaven?
Someone goes missing and you're in "Heaven?" You're sick!

3. We have those, they're called "Silver Alerts"
just like Amber Alerts for missing children. Silver Alerts are about missing elderly folks, and yes some of them happen to be black.

I haven't seen any for a Latino missing person, but that's probably because everybody here has young families. The old folks are still in the home country. I imagine as we go along, there will be, sadly.
