If you have been paying attention to the news, you couldn’t help but hear about the teenage girl who was gang raped by upwards of 10 people while other people stood around filming this with their cellphones, laughing and cheering. Not only did these LOSERS either participate in the gang rape or watch it, but NO ONE alerted the authorities. This girl was gang raped, beaten, ROBBED, and left for dead. I’ve seen the affects of child molestation and/or rape when I worked at the Teen Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. So I know that they NEVER get over what was done to them. And for that reason alone, EVERYONE involved should spent time in prison, INCLUDING those people who watched at did NOTHING! Having said that, and here is where you might disagree with me, the girl MUST take some of the blame for what happened to her!
When I first heard about this event, I was wondering what kind of ANIMAL would do something like this. What would make them think that what was happening was “cool.” The oldest person involved with this tragedy is 32yrs old and the youngest MALE is said to be 15yrs old. That these CREATURES who CAME FROM A WOMAN would stand by and watch as if this was some kind of movie, is unfathomable. I’d love to know what these SUBHUMANS are going to tell their mothers, aunts, sisters, and grandmothers, about the role they played in this event. I want to know how they would feel if it was their MAMA who was GANG RAPED, for over 2 HOURS, while people stood around watching. I wonder would this still be “cool?”
I’m aware of “group think.” And I know that standing apart from the crowd can be lonely. But at the end of the day, you have to look yourself in the mirror and be able to live with what you do. And if you are a religious person, you are going to have to explain your actions to your maker. And I’m sure, a few days after the fact, some of these boys wish they would have “stepped up” and did something. But that is a day late and a dollar short.

A justice of the peace in Hammond, Louisiana, has refused to sign a marriage certificate for an interracial couple. Keith Bardwell has said that he is “not a racist” because he has married Black couples “right here in my own home.” When the bride, Beth Humphrey, called to get the certificate signed, Bardwell’s wife stated that her husband “would not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples.” His concern was not about the couple themselves. The judge is concerned about the children, and how they will be treated by society. I was under the impression this issue, interracial marriage, was taken care of with the Loving vs Virginia case decided by the Supreme Court in 1967. But I guess deciding who can and can’t get married has again become a slippery slope and the slope done slipped!
Again is looks like someone is sitting in judgment of someone else, using racist stereotypes to justify bigotry. Bardwell has said that he “don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves.” And since he is now the foremost scholar on interracial children, he doesn’t want them to suffer.” Damn, that’s awful nice of him isn’t it! Those are the same piss poor excuses that are used by people who oppose Same Couple Marriage. But you’re right black folks, the Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights struggle is not the same thing! Dumbasses!
Did Bardwell forget that our president is the product of an interracial marriage? Does he not realize that no one is “pure?” And that in 2009, the number of interracial children are growing and those children are no less proud of who they are and who they come from?
As a Lesbian who saw the state she lives in, california, and other states, pass propositions that bars Lesbians and Gays the right to get married, I felt this was bound to happen. Because people are failing to realize that once you start considering people to be “thems” or “others“, if shouldn’t be a surprise when someone else does that EXACT same thing to you.
This will be an interesting test to see just how trifling Black people really are. Are far to many Black folks just bigots or are they racists too? And we will also see how far we have come as a country. Because we already know that people ARE NOT FREE to marry who they want to marry. We will see if race is “no longer and issue” since Obama was elected!
This should be good!

A known rapist who has hidden with the tacit approval of many of the top notch actors, actresses, and directors in Hollywood, was finally arrested on an outstanding warrant that was issued more than 30 years ago. Roman Polanski, whose wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson gang, was arrested in Switzerland after getting off of the plane to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award. That he was able to run from the long arms of the law for 30 years, and do so freely, is appalling. What is even worse, is that some people think he should be set free!
In 1978, Roman was arrested and PLEAD GUILTY TO drugging and raping a 13yr old girl. But he fled to Europe, France to be specific, before he could ever spend a night in prison. He was able to travel all over Europe without any problems. He worked with some of the most famous European AND American actors, actresses, and directors, all of whom knew what he had done. But to them, RAPE must not be such a bad thing. Because these poor excuses for human beings didn’t bat an eye about working for or with him. And now that he has been arrested, these same people want him freed.
On the View, hostess Whoopi Goldberg, who I HAD much respect for, stated that it “wasn’t rape-rape.” HUH? He was 37 years old, she was 13, he plied he with drugs and alcohol, and then ANALLY and ORALLY PENETRATED HER! And he NEVER spent one day in prison for that crime! I’d like to think that in hindsight, Ms. Goldberg has come to a different decision. But I always go with the first thing that comes out of someone’s mouth. Because that is usually how they really feel!
