The first thing I noticed was how the video edited out all of the white men..

And you know that how?

black trumps feminism

No it doesn't. Blacks are at the bottom of the DemocRAT hierarchy. They get some attention at election time, but are totally ignored and shut out the rest of the time. Anytime there is a dispute with black and some other RAT constituency, the blacks lose out. Blacks support school vouchers so their children will have a chance to get ahead, teachers oppose them. Teachers supply the Rats with more money than blacks do, so teachers get their way. Homosexuals want the right to get marries, but black Christians oppose it based on morality and the Bible. Homosexuals supply the Rats with more money than blacks so, so homosexuals get their way. As long as black reliably vote for Rats over 90 percent of the time they will simply be used and abused by the Rats.

The video to me was “welcome to the multicultural diversity of the lowest common denominator that you as an urban female likely voted for.”

the video helps to perpetuate the long-held, erroneous belief that harassment mostly takes the form of white women being bothered by “low class” men of color . . . But when white men are the aggressors? Well, then, admitting that they are a problem would be admitting that our society has a problem and that there are bigger changes that need to be made that would involve real and profound work.

Let's see the unbiased evidence and let's get to work solving the problem. Until then what about these indications of the true nature of the problem.

The links immediately following are U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics Criminal Victimization in the United States, [YYYY] Statistical Tables and their Table 42: "Percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, by type of crime, race of victim, and perceived race of offender" show an inordinate amount of black-on-white crime in some crime categories.

I have to emphasis that Statistical Tables' data are based upon surveys, they are not FBI/police crime figures.
However since 2009 Table 42 data are no longer made public that I can find. If those data are being hidden then the Obama-Holder federal government is not very impartial.

1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Below is from the DoJ annual survey of thousands of crime victims -- not the FBI. The FBI has murder by race of victim/offender but I do not believe that they have sexual assaults that way. The following are DoJ data. I think the FBI has race of offender by type of crime but does not include victim.

Why did I stop at 2008? Because the Obama-Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People stopped releasing the Table 42 data -- probably because the survey (emphasis on survey) showed zero white on black assaults in several years and the pattern continued into the Obama years.

Information on how the U.S. Dept. of Justice National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) works. It might explain why so many *'s in the 1973 - 1982 table and why the sexual assault data are so controversial. But it's been that way for decades; apparently the Obama-Holder Dept. of Just Us stopped making the information public in 2009.

"In the course of twice-a-year interviews conducted with more than 125,000 people each year in the National Crime Survey, only about 100 cases of rape or attempted rape are reported. When the sample is compared to the size of the general population, it is estimated that each reported incident represents about 1,200 rapes or rape attempts that took place across the country. Nevertheless, 100 cases are too few for detailed statistical analysis. To obtain enough information for a detailed examination of the crime of rape, all cases of female rape reported in the National Crime Survey from 1973 through 1982 were aggregated into a single data set. The set consists of 1,082 cases representing a national total of 1.5 million instances of rape or attempted rape during the decade."

If the 1995 - 2008 data were to be combined the results would be more valid and likely still look a lot like these 1973 - 1982 data.

I was thinking of the young girl who was murdered by her black boyfriend.

Where’s the protest?

But I do agree with your post, about the dems.

LOL! I can’t stop laughing. Speaking of which, where is that diet coke commercial from a few years back where all the women at an office gathered at the window to ogle some construction guy?

Looking at the calendar I have come to the conclusion that it’s election time!

Now some people are saying the video is racist.

And it reinforces our assertion that if it appears racist, it's because it shows the truth about who is more likely to act "improperly".

I wonder at the wussification of White men when I note that they/we seem to take pride in being PC. Of course, if we allow it to slip that we actually have testosterone, unlike Blacks, we are castigated for our crudeness and our "war on women".
