Sexual Assault of Black Women: A Non-Issue for Black Organizations?

September 1st, 2011 - By Christelyn Karazin

I turn on the television and see Jesse Jackson marching with Walmart workers, Al Sharpton is doing the 24-hour news circuit, and the leader of the New Black Panthers is somewhere defending young black boys against the latest outrage de jour.  As nice as that seems, every protest is centered around the plight of black men, to address the racist penal system, or complain about government entitlements, unequal education, lack of jobs–the list goes on.  There are marches and picket lines for the latest offense, but virtually none of them directly involve the mistreatment of black women through rape and sexual abuse that happens more and more often these days.  Most of the offenses are perpetrated by the boys and men they love and know–many who look like them.  No longer is the bogeyman without. He is within.

    My heart goes out to you youngun… Hopefully you will be able to find someone, ANYONE willing to be in your corner come hell or high water. I hate to hear about situations such as these… Keep the faith and soldier on like we all have to… It's hard, but know that there are others who have had to endure as you have… Much love.

    Black males are the failures in the doomed black collective. Black women are better off without ya'll.

  • Chyeah

    Sorry, but there are plenty of reality shows of white women acting out on camera, but yet you only focus on one of the handful of shows out there about black women. So typical of your bitter black azz…

    If black women are to blame for not keeping their legs closed, then shouldn't black males keep their dikks in their pants as well?

    You're making black males out to be these mindless, retarded sex fiends with no sense of accountability on their part.

    What's interesting is that you, your ilk and white women have a lot in common when it comes to not being responsible for your stupid actions, so you have to have somebody to blame but yourselves…

    Try again…

    Sosososososo, where's the black man who fathered the child?

    In jail?

    Dead?

    Out in the street?

    Trying to find more women to mess around with?

    If anything, the black male has been everywhere except where he SHOULD be!

    failures…

  • Chyeah

    …LOLOL!!!…

    …black women are headed for greener pastures for good reason and that is because black males have failed themselves and their children…you're on here trying to blame black women when it's the black male who can't see past his dick for the betterment of himself, and his children…

    …when the going gets tough, what do black males do?…

    …they give up and they run from their responsibilities…

    …it's good that more black women are waking up and seeing black males for what the majority really are…

    …and it's not so positive…

    AND no father…at least the mother tried to raise the son. everyone knows that boys are turned into men by other men…women cannot do this. SO it is really the fathers fault for not being there if these monsters were raised by single mothers

    White men ARE the only ones who are handling the criminal behavior of BM…remember the police and the justice system…..bm try to stop wm from handling the criminal behavior of their brethern…don't snitch, not willing to testify, organizing marches (NAACP)…you are right..bw should be so happy to have wm around because without them the bc would look like much of africa…war torn with bw and children suffering unbearable hardships.

    They cannot be inspired and I am too busy living a productive wonderful life to be bothered with these fools. What black people do not understand is that NO ONE is being fooled by them. There will come a time when the majority culture (not just white people, but asian and hispanic too) will no longer tolerate this foolishness. My own brother learned the hard way. He raped a white girl and now has been in prison for 8 years. Do not know when he will be out, but I hope it is not for a REALLY long time. I do not know if he had done this to a bw before (I wouldn't be surprised) but he chose the WRONG girl this time. All I can say is that because she is white she saved a lot of bw from my brother who if he wasn't in jail would be raping some poor bw wwho has no one to go to bat for her. The people in prison committed crimes…they did things that ANYONE would understand as criminal so I do not understand the need to understand the problem….do not commit crimes and you will be free to live a life outside prison walls.

    @Chyeah,last time I checked black women would not exist without black men.You people always over estimate your value.How’s that working out for you lately?

    • Chyeah

      …it's working out great for me, since i don't let the views of others validate me as a human being…with that being said, our value as women is priceless…and we know it, that's why you're so threatened by us…

      • The Rain

        Wow,look around no one is threatened by you people.Everybody seem to be able to get a man but black women.If attitude,stupidity,greed,having a big mouth,greed,no social skills,cloaking your ignorance in attitude,no self control,no hobbies,being shortsighted ,just to name a few things were actually good things,you people might be getting married at more than 30%,not be leading in catching stds,not be leading in out of wedlock births,by multiple pappies,might not be leading in being fat asses,and you might be worth more than $5.00 so you wouldn't have to be selling p*ssy for college tuition.If you were a car and I bought you for what you were really worth and sold you for what you think you are worth,I would make a mint.Keep on overestimating your value and you will keep on being passed over.

    Sexual abuse is not running more rampant in the black community than it is any other community.Sexual abuse is a human pathology.Once again a criminal act is being painted as a black male crime.All the afore mentioned crimes were not everyday criminal acts,otherwise they would’ve not stood out as the circus freak heinous acts they were.Out of the millions of black men that go about their normal daily lives ,less than 3% do something so despicable as rape.The media takes this stuff ,sensationalizes it and have those that believe anything they see on tv,panicing and thinking it’s an epidemic,when these same non thinking reactionary people have never seen nor personally know any victims or commiters of such crimes.
