For decades, students at Spelman — the elite historically black women's college — have spoken out about instances of sexual assault committed by students from Morehouse College, their unofficial brother school. Now, in the wake of a petition, protests, and a federal investigation, their messages are ringing louder than ever. Why haven't we heard them?

Real easy reason.
Snitches get Stitches.
Why are you screaming?
It’s the SAME REASON that the abuse of women trapped in Islam is not only ignored by feminist groups throughout the West, it is abetted by them - which is that the (would be) accused males are willing and able to fight back.
If you’re a Muslim woman getting the crap beat out of you every day by your assigned husband, and you go to a battered women’s shelter in London - they will send you home as fast as humanly possible, with the goal of getting you out of there before your ‘relatives’ show up.
It’s simply a two-tier system now, in the West.
Plus, the media are very into promoting the narrative that rape is prevalent in college -- BUT NOT when black students are doing the raping.
Rape is exclusively a problem of straight, middle-class, white, males. Regardless of what crime statistics might say.
Read the first few paragraphs and can see this is an important article that I need to read later than 6am in the morning. This definitely deserves coverage on the larger media outlets but probably won’t because of the multiple red flags in giving honest coverage to this subject. There’s no upside for those outlets with Revs. Jesse and Al out there looking for new deep pockets to finance their lifestyle.
Years ago on the radio, there was a show where callers could discuss crimes committed against them. One guy called up and said that his co worker, a young black man, had recently been robbed at gunpoint by an acquaintance, who was also black. When the man asked his coworker what he was going to do about it, the black man said “I’m not going to put another brother in jail”.
There you have it.
>>Rape is exclusively a problem of straight, middle-class, white, males. Regardless of what crime statistics might say.
Especially college rape. The news must fit the official narrative that white men should not be in college.
When a person puts their skin color ahead of obedience to law, this is the inevitable outcome.
Black skin privilege?

The width="100%" part resizes the image to fit in the enclosing container. Try resizing the window to see the effects.
bflr
But would Laz hit them?
Larry capital letters are also used for important emphasis
They looked around for a convenient whitey to blame and found none.
..............and the final paragraph sums it all up.
Indeed, for much of the colleges’ histories, there have been two parallel narratives. In one, the SpelHouse community is a place that upholds the politics of respectability in order to propel students into positions of power normally reserved for white people. In the other, the community is meant to cultivate and unify the next generation of black social activists. And few issues are as emblematic of the conflicts at the two institutions over the politics of respectability versus those of resistance as the issue of sexual violence.

Feel Free to make the width value what you wish.
A small rant...
With the proliferation of display devices, screens now come in a wide variety of sizes and aspect ratios. The image below illustrates the range of screens possible. Differing aspect ratios are shown on the diagonal lines with the ratio in circles towards the lower right.
Given the wide variation in screen resolution and size when we step from mobi to fondleslab to display to HDTV it is lunacy to specify screen position in term of pixels. There is no way to know what sized screen you are imaging to so it is best to reference screen sizes and positions in percentages instead. The resulting size is the percentage of the width (or height) of the enclosing container. This is most useful when specifying positions and sizes of tables and images. The HTML for the image above looks like:
<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Vector_Video_Standards5.svg" width="95%">The
width="95%"part sets the image width to 95% of the width of the enclosing container. We leave the height unspecified so that the computer will figure out the correct value so as not to distort the image. If you wish to distort the image you may specify a height as well.Things that are text related, such as the whitespace around a paragraph or header and text sizes are best specified in
em. Oneemwas originally the width of an M in the current font. In a multi-lingual world where not all alphabets have an M in them, the meaning has evolved to mean the height of the current font. As the user changes the magnification on a page the size of anemchanges with it. This produces a pleasing scaled effect to the eye not possible when spacing objects in pixels.Other unit values available are
ininch,cmcentimeter,mmmillimeter,exx-height of a font (x-height is usually about half the font-size),ptpoint - 1/72 of an inch,pcpica - 12 points andpxpixels - a single dot on the screen. If no units are specified pixels are used by default. Best results across the broad spectrum of displays are achieved by exclusively using em and percent to specify size and distance. Try not to do anything else.
Any element (anything between tags) can be explicitly positioned by either putting it in a table or centering it <center></center>. Beyond that, explicit positioning is purposefully made as difficult as possible so that you won't do it. Your page will be displayed on a variety of devices of differing sizes and the less you constrain where the elements are positioned the better the general result will be across the broad spectrum of displays.
Inside tables you can use the attribute
<td align="right"> ("left|right|center|justify|char")are acceptable values. The "char" option is mishandled by all the major browsers so it doesn't see much use. Align can also be used with images and horizontal rule,<img src="http://mumble.com/image.jpg" align="right">will work. So will<hr align="right">This is all in the HTML 4.01 idiom that we are trying to make go away.To summarize, using HTML you can Center an element or put it in a table to control its position. This is why tables are wildly overused.
No, they tend to get you ignored. It's a signal that we'll be dealing with emotions, rather than facts and logic.
Don't yell.
remember how many fake claims of this stuff are floating around? i think that if there was a fire there’d be at least some smoke...could this be another phony attempt to draw attention to what might be a non-issue?
