Mmmm. You can read the entire tale below (which I haven't done yet.) But if you watch the video first, you'll probably get a good idea about the author.

Numbers. How many blacks rape White women. How many White men rape White women. How many black men in the USA. How many White men in the USA.
Conclusions obvious.

falling short of mitigating facts that would paint a less absolute -- but more accurate -- picture of things racial. So in the reporter's mind, the rape was justified?
People, don't be ashamed of that voice inside your head, if you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it!

I missed the obvious conclusion because you didn’t provide any numbers.

Yeah, I think Mr Woods and the author are poster children for post-modernist "on-the-other-handism". Most, if not every single rapist is evil and wishes you harm.
White guilt on parade.

One of the posters at the articles site starts with the right comment.”This is so heart warming I think I'm going to vomit.” The poster does the right analysis of Conners and her drivel.

. . . there was one more element to inform her fateful decision in the theater -- what she called the "good girl tape" running through her head. It says, "don't be rude," Connors wrote, and it might have caused her to follow a white man into the theater 20 years ago for fear of offending him in another way.There isa security expert called Gavin de Backer, a guy who guards the richest corporate executives and even some heads of state who might be in danger of assassination or abduction. He wrote a book called The Gift of Fear, in which he said that it is this "good girl tape" that gets women raped, beaten, and killed. We don't want to look racist, we don't want to look frigid, we don't want to seem unfriendly. So rather than having some stranger think of us as racist bitches, we allow ourselves to get into dangerous situations. He urges women to stop thinking that they're tough and they can handle bad situations. They aren't and they can't. They have to pay attention to that intuition that has evolved to protect them.

Almost 30 years years ago I was held up by two black men who pointed rifles at my head. I was a 20 year old white woman. To this day, that memory haunts me and it has changed the way I conduct myself.

Yes I feel like the QED in the math books. Certainly not obvious to me. I have read that 75% of interracial crime is black on white. Maybe I would guess on rape cases 90%, but I am a typical white person.

Let me guess some mentally ill liberal calls for yet more loathing of something called “whiteness?”

But the true fact that the odds of a black man raping a white woman being about 10000 times more likely than the opposite occurrence remains. (see
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=F3E3CD97-197F-4D31-BF36-A4CBA45FCB13)
It is the most significant race differentiated statistic in the perpetrator/victim spectrum.
Is this caused by normal sexual desire because white women are inherently more attractive or available as rape victims? Or, rather, by deep seated racial hatred by blacks against whites?

Reality hits this woman clearly in the face and she still believes in fairy tales. Just further proof that Liberalism is a disease.
To: anton
Since rape is an act of dominance/violence and not “lust”, perhaps it’s more like “payback”, to some.

I know that the official rape crisis center doctrine is that rape is only about domination and not lust. I’m not convinced. I think its both. And, in the black community I suspect that it is more about lust than it is about domination. This would explain the very low reporting rate among black rape victims.
And, lust and domination are hopelessly intertwined. Someone famous said: “In the end, there is only sex and power. On second thought, there is only power . . . .”
