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.

Your so called folk wisdom is neither folksy nor wise. The actual threat of rape most women face will be from friends or acquaintances, or even STRANGERS of the SAME race, not from a stranger of a different race.

You remind me of phrenologists, arguing either that that their client could not have possibly committed the crime, or that the defendant couldn't possibly be innocent; not based upon the actual evidence, but upon the shape of their skull.

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, you can clearly see from the defendants skull that he is of the ‘criminal type’ and if not guilty of this crime is most certainly guilty of others far more egregious and is by heredity incapable of being anything other than a criminal.”
