Going along the lines of Race, I and a female friend of mind were discussing the race issue, being that she is white and me not some much LOL. I posed the question as to why? When a WW (white woman) needs to shield her actions, example Susan smith, the runaway bride and so on that Black-men become the best excuse? Now I realize that this was the standard back in the days see the movie rosewood or the story of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emit_Till however in 2012 nothing has changed. To illustrate I recently read a story http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2011/12/woman-elaborately-fakes-her-own-rape-and-blames-guess-who-a-black-guy/ note: link may not work Google it please.So my question is this, why is this still happening and when will it stop?

(110,159 posts)so that mindset is already there. thinking of a big bad man, the race wouldnt be a thought to me, and having to just throw a race out in a lie, i would probably pick white just cause it is the race i am. so the nature of the act for me would be off familiarity. since i dont see black man as criminal, it would be in that place.
i think that the white women that pull out black men in this manner are just bigots so that is why they answer as they do.
and all this is just a guess, cause i have not and would not do anything like this so really, i dont know
Sounds about right, and for the record Im not casting a generalization on all White women, there is good in all people, unfortunately there seems to be an equal amount of bad in all people.

(15,682 posts)Makes me wonder just how many innocent men have been imprisoned because of twisted sick women like this one. That she could blame anyone is bad enough. That she chose "scary black man" makes her even more despicable.
