As such, the threat of rape facing most women will be from friends and acquaintances of the same race.
The fictional depiction of a black man falsely accused of rape is not absurd because of crime statistics; there have been false accusations of rape in the past, and there will be false accusations of rape in the future. Not everyone who is accused is guilty, and an innocent man being accused is the stuff of drama; lo and behold - the intent of any dramatic fiction! Conflict! Drama! A man falsely accused! A society fixated condemning any defense of the man! A valiant defender who is reviled for seeking the truth!
Yeah, how absurd! Could never happen! Any black man accused of raping a white woman is guilty and it is absurd to think he might be innocent!/s

Of course you can play games with it for dramatic effect. Still folk wisdom is based on truth. Women forewarned are armed. Same goes with guys going to prison.
