duke. DUKE. duke.
over at feministing, samhita posted an entry regarding the women's lacrosse team decision to wear wrist-bands with the word "innocent" on them, in a show of solidarity for the male lacrosse team.
first off, i agree with samhita, that the fact that these women are showing their "solidarity" only aids in their own oppression to the white male patriarchy. i am not saying that because a woman was allegedly attacked, they must stand in support with her simply because she is female. if that were the case, then the innocent arm-bands wouldn't have even been introduced. however, it is telling of the state of white america in general, where these women could support their men, who have proven to cause harm, physically and verbally, towards the non-white, non-heterosexual "other." (i am specifically speaking of the racial slurs and the gay bashing by the "innocent" male players)
second, it's interesting to note that some people continue to say the alleged rapists are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law--that's the beauty of our (in)justice system. and yes, i do agree with that, even though i still believe that something disastrous did happen at the party--however, it is those same people who ignore the tired diatribe of "innocent until proven guilty" and claim that the accuser is guilty of lying--where is the justice in that? where is her right to remain innocent of lying?
it seems from this case, that it is obvious that white men are innocent until the justice system, controlled by other white men, exonerates them of such charges. black women, on the other hand, are automatically deemed guilty when we defy this system. we are guilty when we challenge the white privilege of innocence. we are guilty simply because one of us has the courage to say that something DID happen.
to the (white, i assume) folks who continue to advocate the "innocent until proven guilty" speech, the main point is that you guys are hurt, aren't you? it hurts to know that these young boys face the possibility of prison, registering as sex offenders and shaming their rich, white supporters. it hurts white supremacy in general, to face the accussations of a black, poor, stripper who may or may not be lying, but the fact that she accused WHITE MEN maks you guys feel the deepest pain inside of your souls, huh?
trust me, us brown people know that pain. we live that pain. we eat that pain. we breathe that pain. how does it feel?

They will get what is coming to them, and i don't think they are ashamed or hurt, remember it is in there nature to do what they do best, lie, kill, steel and rape.. They have no shame or pain.. Anger may be a better word to descibe the situation. Angry because they have to deal with the consequences of their actions, besides their forefathers got away with it, so they automatically assume they can too. And as farm as the female team showing support... stupidity if you ask me.... if she was a white... they would feel differently... What pisses me off is that they try to discredit her due to her profession and history... which is totally irrelevant to the crime..... I am glad that the media grabbed this case, because if they did not.. Maybe those bastards would have gotten away with it. Thank God she has parents who will not back down..... Sista i have learned that expression your pain to beings like that actually feeds their sick minds. It is entertaining to the beast to violate, harm and kill another being... It is just it's nature...

It's funny how members of a group of people who have been victims of so much prejudice and injustice, who should know better than anyone about the wrongs of judging people and situations based solely on how people look and what socioeconomic group they come from, can then go on to do the same thing themselves. None of us know squat about what really happened that night, and none of us should pretend we do. It's not even any of our business. I'd be interested in knowing how you all felt about the Kobe Bryant case. Was that about race, male suppression of females in this country, class fueding, or something else? Why don't you stop trying to constantly feel like a victim and just try to make the world a better place for yourself and all the future generations. Self-pity is so pathetic.
Below, a signature quote I came across, while reading an email...I saw a connection, though I haven't fully processed it yet...
"When I talk about justice, I am talking about institutions that have ground me and my kind, right down to rock so far back that they owe me. They owe me as a working-class girl. They owe me as a queer girl. They owe me as a raped child... Yet, I also know that that voice saying “They owe me” is the most dangerous bone in my body. It is a part of me that I have to resist. It is a bone I cannot stand on, feel or shape".-Dorothy Allison

Like Ahab's search for the Great White Whale, liberals' search for the Great White Defendant is relentless and never-ending. When Tawana Brawley's and Al Sharpton's 1987 charge that several white men including prosecutor Steven Pagones (whose name Brawley had picked out of a newspaper article) had abducted and raped the 15 year old was shown in 1988 to be completely false, the Nation said it didn't matter, since the charges expressed the essential nature of white men's treatment of black women in this country. When the Duke University lacrosse players were accused of raping a black stripper last year, liberals everywhere treated the accusation as fact, because, just as with the Nation and Tawana Brawley, the rape charge seemed to reflect the true nature of oppressive racial and sexual relations in America.
To see the actual truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice document on Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005, which is discussed by Christopher Chantrill at The American Thinker. (Go to the linked document, then under Victims and Offenders, download the pdf for 2005.)
In Table 42, "Personal crimes of violence, 2005, percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender," we learn that there were 111,590 white victims of rape/sexual assault in 2005. (The number of rapes is not distinguished from those of sexual assaults; it is maddening that sexual assault, which can mean inappropriate touching, is conflated with the crime of rape.) In those 111,590 cases in which a white woman was the victim of rape/sexual assault, the offender was white in 44.5 percent of the cases and black in 33.6 percent of the cases. Of 36,620 cases in which the victim was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.
The table does not give statistics for Hispanic victims and offenders. But the bottom line on interracial white/black and black/white rape is clear:
In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black women were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.
What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.
No wonder there was such absolute belief in the guilt of the Duke students among the leading sectors of liberal America. A drug-addled, half-deranged, promiscuous black stripper accused several young white men of raping her. There are virtually zero rapes of black women by white men in the United States each year, and half of all rape charges against specific individuals are false. But in the gnostic, inverted world of liberal demonology, the white students had to be guilty.
Meanwhile, week after week, without comment, the newspapers report the rapes of white women by black men. Just this week in the New York Post there was a story about a serial black rapist on Manhattan's Upper West Side. But even when the race of the perpetrator is made evident, if not in the text of the article then in a photograph or police drawing, no reference is made to the racial aspect of the case, and each story is reported in isolation, not presented as part of a larger pattern. There is never the slightest mention of the fact that white women in this country are being targeted by black rapists. In the inverted world of liberalism, the phenomenon does not exist.
