History: Black Women and Rape

[jimnyc]

We're discussing history, Con hog, history.

How do sonograms from Texas relate to black women getting raped, and "history"?

[Wind Song]

It's wonderful that black and white women are taking more of a stand against rape and reporting them more often.

However, rape of black women has less than nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow laws, and more to do with the facts presented in this report.

I also went to the FBI crime reports to see if they list rapes by victim/offender race, and I didn't see that. I would venture to guess that MOST rapes like MOST murders are people of the same race. Meaning, WS, that black men are raping black women.

The history of the rape crisis movement in the United States is also a history of the struggle of African American women against racism and sexism. During slavery, the rape of enslaved women by white men was common and legal. After slavery ended, sexual and physical violence, including murder, were used to terrorize and keep the Black population from gaining political or civil rights. The period of Reconstruction from 1865 to 1877, directly following the Civil War, when freed slaves were granted the right to vote and own property, was particularly violent. White mobs raped Black women and burned churches and homes. The Ku Klux Klan, founded in 1866 in Tennessee, was more organized. The Klan raped Black women, lynched Black men, and terrorized Black communities. Propaganda was spread that all Black men were potential rapists, all white women potential victims. The results and legacy of such hatred were vicious. Thousands of Black men were lynched between Emancipation and World War II, with the false charge of rape a common accusation. Rape laws made rape a capital offense only for a Black man found guilty of raping a white woman. The rape of a Black woman was not even considered a crime, even when it became officially illegal.(1)

Did the klu klux klan perform sonograms on them too?

There are more ways to sexually assault women than one. Jimbo.

African American women have always been at the forefront of the Rape Crisis Movement. African American women testified before Congress following the Memphis Riot of May 1866, during which a number of Black women were gang-raped by a white mob. Their brave testimony has been well recorded

But I thought this was about BLACK women and rape? Then you post about sonograms, which are not rape - and am I to assume that these sonograms in Texas are only used on black women? You're all over the map in this thread but then get pissy if someone goes off topic. But I'm just confused as to how that crap post was on topic?

Interesting choice of words you use:

Perhaps the first women in the United States to break the silence around rape were those African American women who testified before Congress following the Memphis Riot of May 1866, during which a number of Black women were gang-raped by a white mob. Their brave testimony has been well recorded

Which is written here - http://calcasa.org/education/history...omment-page-1/

And comes from this book - http://www.amazon.com/Black-Women-Wh.../dp/0679743146

Now let's hear your lame response, plagiarist.

[Wind Song]

We're not on speaking terms Jim.

We're not on speaking terms Jim.

Just another rule you broke, which of course could get me in deep doo doo for you infringing on anothers rights without citing a source.

Oh, and shows once again your dishonesty, and how you'll start to play a game when called out - even in something as serious as plagiarizing.

Here ya go. I'll put it in every post from now on. Maybe you could do black women a service and read about it.

It's called changing your mind. Try it sometime.

Regarding the "stealing". I'm at the library multi-tasking and forgot to put the link in.

Damn, just used the pronoun Sassy advised me against.

And then you tried to pass off a portion of someone else's work as your own.

So, "I'm so bad". What are the consequences?

Correction is duly noted. Any other penalties?

[jimnyc]

Go away, blowhard, you said you weren't talking to me. and then you can

Why are you continually trying to go to war with Jim? Well, anyway really, but Jim specifically? He has to enforce the rules otherwise why even have them?

Of course I could, and will, also point out to Jim that this kinda thing is exactly why I think that when mods/admins post AS mods/admins it should somehow be differentiated from when they are just posting as posters. And then of course it can be pointedly stated that anything written in that style is not up for debate. But hey, that's just my opinion.

Back to sky, take a chill pill, get high, get laid, do whatever you need to do to mellow out, this is getting old.
