The Question of Race in Campus Sexual-Assault Cases: Is the system biased against men of color?
The Atlantic ^ | September 11, 2017 | Emily Yoffe

The archetypal image of the campus rapist is a rich, white fraternity athlete. The case of Brock Turner—the freshman swimmer at Stanford University convicted last year of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman after meeting her at a party, but sentenced to only six months in jail—reinforced this. Petula Dvorak, a Washington Post columnist, wrote, “The brilliant smile of a Stanford swimmer with Olympic dreams, the happy privileged face of a white college kid named Brock Turner … This is what a campus sexual predator looks like.”

Amy Ziering, the producer of The Hunting Ground, a 2015 campus-sexual-assault documentary, has said much the same thing. In a radio interview, she asserted that her movie exposed “privileged” well-off white men and challenged “dominant white male power.” But a close viewing of her film reveals a different reality. Her movie tells at length the stories of four allegations. In at least three of the cases, the accused is black.

As the Soviets learned, you can’t destroy traditional Christian and moral culture and expect nothing to take its place.

So the Left, in the wake of their absolutely destructive “sexual revolution” have created a frankenstein simulacrum, which still tries to regulate or moralize on sex, especially the premarital kind (and indeed, can be as Puritan in some ways as that which they railed against), but has a duct-tape and chicken-wire construct mad up merely of the latest leftist political themes and slogans.

They could have run into that tree,

And raped by a minority."

my jock son says the SJWs are just social outcasts trying to extract revenge on the cool kids. He also says the SJW antics only result in the entire school shunning them.

He says no one sits near SJWs, no one says hello in the halls, they never get in it’s to any parties. The cool kids and regular kids do everything possible to stay as far away from SJWs as possible.

He also tells me that everyone also understands that it’s a death sentence to say anything contra the SJW agenda.

That was my first reaction as well. It is definitely biased against men and has been for a very long time.

Social justice warriors are holy warriors of the socialism ideology. They’ve invested religious levels of devotion to the political ideology, a logical second step after liberals raised the State to the level of God, the source of all good and morality.

To know who has the power, look at who you cannot criticize.

No one is putting cases on these characters, they are doing what people say they are doing and all the FBI stats bear it out.

We need, as a nation, need to stop with the willful blindness.
