Liberal activist Amanda Kijera traveled to Haiti on a mission to prove that the portrayal of black men as “savages” was not accurate. Kijera was brutally raped. Of course, she blamed the white man for the violence.
The US Patriot reported:
Amanda Kijera was on a humanitarian trip to Haiti, when she was violently raped by a black man. The act was both coincidental and devastating, as Kijera was actually in Haiti to dispel the “myths” that violence against women on the island was overstated by women’s rights organizations. The intention of Kijera’s trip was to push back on the portrayal of black men as “savages” in the media. Her hope was that she would eliminate misconceptions and push back against common views imposed by “the man.” However, Kijera’s trip took a turn for the worse when one of the men she had worked to protect cornered her on the rooftop, and raped her numerous times.
“The experience was almost more than I could bear,” Kijera wrote about the incident, “I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care.”
According to Kijera, she eventually stopped fighting him, claiming that there was nothing she could do to stop him from raping her repeatedly. After the tragic experience, she placed the blame on a very unexpected course. Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are,” she explained.
She also went on to argue that it is up to the United Nations to support people who are forced to bear the brunt of black male aggression. Kijera makes the outrageous claim that dependency on white people causes them to act out against them. She alludes that this was the reason for her attack.
Two weeks ago, on a Monday morning, I started to write what I thought was a very clever editorial about violence against women in Haiti. The case, I believed, was being overstated by women’s organizations in need of additional resources. Ever committed to preserving the dignity of Black men in a world which constantly stereotypes them as violent savages, I viewed this writing as yet one more opportunity to fight “the man” on behalf of my brothers. That night, before I could finish the piece, I was held on a rooftop in Haiti and raped repeatedly by one of the very men who I had spent the bulk of my life advocating for.
It hurt. The experience was almost more than I could bear. I begged him to stop. Afraid he would kill me, I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face. Overpowered, I gave up fighting halfway through the night.
Accepting the helplessness of my situation, I chucked aside the Haiti bracelet I had worn so proudly for over a year, along with it, my dreams of human liberation. Someone, I told myself, would always be bigger and stronger than me. As a woman, my place in life had been ascribed from birth. A Chinese proverb says that “women are like the grass, meant to be stepped on.” The thought comforted me at the same time that it made me cringe.

Truly, I have witnessed as a journalist and human rights advocate the many injustices inflicted upon Black men in this world. The pain, trauma and rage born of exploitation are terrors that I have grappled with every day of my life. They make one want to strike back, to fight rabidly for what is left of their personal dignity in the wake of such things. Black men have every right to the anger they feel in response to their position in the global hierarchy, but their anger is misdirected.
Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are. Because women–and particularly women of color–are forced to bear the brunt of the Black male response to the Black male plight, the international community and those nations who have benefitted from the oppression of colonized peoples have a responsibility to provide women with the protection that they need.

I guess it's not just Sweden. Leftism, worldwide, is a mental disorder.
You’ve heard it a billion times. Liberals are mentally stupid. Looks like this twat hasn’t learned her lessons yet. I’ll volunteer to drop her off in East St Louis to prove us wrong..
The fact she was there means the sex was consensual
Because brutalizing a woman who has nothing to do with their situation in life is fighting for their dignity. Right.
Only a lib would believe such silliness.
Play Shithole Games, Win Shithole Prizes.
Amanda now agrees with Trump’s description of Haiti. Fast learner.
Ann Coulter was right..liberalism really is a mental disease..gets gang raped by a Haitian man, turns around and blames white people..they do the same thing when Muslims commit acts of Jihad, Jihadists murders Americans, nah its not the Jihadists fault, its OUR fault
There’s just no getting reality through to some people. If you hear phrases like ‘hetero-cis-patriarchy’ or ‘means of production’ you know you’re talking to one of them.
“Kijera makes the outrageous claim that dependency on white people causes them to act out against them”
Makes sense. They need to stop being dependent and stand on their own feet. Problem solved.
Savages are in control in $hithole countries. Liberals suffer from the noble savage delusion.
What a dumbass.
Well put; no sympathy here. A learning experience that could have easily cost her life; she was lucky. Stupid ass...
Priceless; thank you!
Ya can't fix stupid!
WT...Why is her nose as big as her mouth and chin? And whats with the heavy blurring manipulation in the image?
The above reads like sarcasm. She is being raped and she tries to appeal to his sense honor?
No one could make this up.
That is really nuts.
Registered sex offender?
“Get your hands off me! Help, help!”
“Shhhh. Cool it, baby. You’re gonna like this.”
“You’re just a rapist! Help!”
“It’s okay, baby. I’m registered with the state.”
“Really?”
“I got papers.”
“Well, okay.”
