The Racial Realities of Rape

July 2, 2010

 

LAWRENCE AUSTER writes:

In the wicked days of discrimination, race-conscious white society segregated and oppressed black men in order, among other things, to keep them from raping and killing young white women. In our more virtuous and humane times, race-blind white society commands young white women, in the name of female freedom and empowerment, to behave in ways that will get them raped and murdered by black men.

There is another difference between the two periods: in the old days in the South, society stated plainly why it was segregating black men; in our time, the fact that black men are regularly raping and killing white women, and the fact that white women’s own socially approved and mandated behavior makes such murders infinitely more likely, are never, ever, ever mentioned.

This is not a call to hate black people or to regard all or most black men as dangerous criminals. It is not a call to oppress blacks or return to the days of Jim Crow. It is a call for society to acknowledge certain important realities which are currently being systematically ignored, and to change its attitudes and behaviors accordingly.
