...A criminal wouldn’t be a criminal if he were loved more and society supported him, therefore it’s society’s fault that he is committing the fill-in-the-blank crime.
So who is to blame, then, when a black man rapes a woman? Would it be the rapist? No.
What follows is the harrowing and cognitively dissonant account of a woman’s rape at the hands of a black man she considered a friend. Her name is Amanda Kijera and here is her story:
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.
She continues:
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 benefited from the oppression of colonized peoples have a responsibility to provide women with the protection that they need.
Hopefully she has not and will not reproduce. There are just some things that should come to an end.
it’s Bush’s fault..
I was going to privately reply to yours,
but I think this discussion is relevant to this thread,
and your private reply conveyed a sense of genuine civil
discourse on the topic.
You asked for the basis of my assertion, so here goes:
My assertion is based on Biblical truth backed up by historical observation and years of worldview studies, including many secular resources (Sowell’s works for example).
True, people were created good, in God’s image, but the Fall caused this nature to become inherently corrupt.
Any group of people who are not constrained by Judeo-Christian ethics or some authoritarian system will degenerate to their _base nature_ which is a propensity for evil.
Lord of the Flies is an instruction manual on base human nature. This is what an unconstrained group of humans will degenerate to if left to their base nature.
There is another novel whose name escapes me, but it had the opposite hypothesis. A group of young men were shipwrecked and formed a representative government on the island and had a prosperous, successful society...
Now, which, by historical observation, is more likely to occur? The base nature of man is readily apparent.
From my worldview studies, all of the “conclusions” of a leftist’s ideology are based on the assumption of human goodness, whilst the ideology of the conservative is based on the assumption of human nature’s defects. (Sowell - A Conflict of Visions; Focus on the Family - Truth Project)
The assumption of the inherent goodness of the human condition is why the left attempts to create (force) utopian societies here on this earth, through the superior vision of those (basically good people) who have self-actualized to the point where they can build such a society.
The assumption of human defectiveness leads one to see the inherent tradeoffs necessary in any society, and the acceptance of humans acting based on incentives instead of a basically good nature.
I can’t condense 5 years of study into one post, so I hope that’s a sufficient summary.
Yeah, that's right -- blame the poor flaming squirrels, you white dominator, you! Scum!!
</burning>
The only fact she got right that she was being raped by a black man. After that she still had to blame someone other than the perpetrator for her terrible plight, thus being victimized twice, once by the rapist, and second by the relentless dark psychosis of political correctness.

bwaaahahahahaaa!
Under the law as t is written, the fault would be the black man’s. But of course, liberals only believe in following the law when it fits their twisted world view.
I think the Vikings are to blame here.
We have a standing offer from Bill Ayers of 25,000,000 American lives.
Hey, she may have a beautiful little bouncing baby boy on the way as we write. Even better, he'll be biracial, like our President.

Cracker ass Honkies, who else?
He paid a heavy price to meet his needs. Imagine what horrors could compel a man to have to say something like this???
Her whole story seems implausible.
It is not clear, but it appears that she is a self-hating white.
Liberals would rather be raped again than give up their drug.
From her article:
“Not once did I envision myself becoming a receptacle for a Black man’s rage at the white world, but that is what I became. While I take issue with my brother’s behavior, I’m grateful for the experience.”
BTW - her article has over 130 responses. The first?
“I can’t help but laugh at the author’s self-righteous ignorance. She foolishly chose to ignore the crime statistics and the myriad news reports depicting the astonishing level of rape and violence in Haiti because they conflicted with her political beliefs.”

Another comment on her story:
“Look at what weve done to Mother Earth.
Notice that 3 out of 4 people on Earth have dark hair and eyes, and wonder what kind of Corruption happened to us.
Notice also that African people contain the entire human genome, while we have about 1/3-1/4 of it.
Natural science > social science. Im sorry, but scientific fact trumps politics.
And youre right, i feel a ton of guilt over what white man and “civilization” has done to the planet. And rightfully so. Should i “seek help” to feel COMFORTABLE with being a member of those who raped the world? I mean, should i feel comfy with that???”
There are some really weird people out there...
Obama’s mother’s side.
"Since Dyncorp abuses women and US military men prey on US mil women on way to bathroom and shower, then kill whistleblowers, we can be thus informed and suspect Canadian Garda World security firm in Haiti. Only the above Democratically Accountable Indigenous security is going to work for women, not foreign unaccountable billion dollar security con men Bertie_Wooster is advertising by his Lord of the Flies pro-pagan-da of savage little children on the island in need of hired-archicalist hater big people to come and point guns at them!"
Bush’s fault
