damn it.

this post is divided in two. the second part won't be as pleasant as the photos. i'm taking it from feministe and it has to do with the duke university rape case and an article written about it which basically says that the woman involved couldn't have possibly been raped since she was a stripper, so she's to blame for both the rape - if it happened, of course - and for making others "play the racist element to the hilt" (when in reality the obvious racial dimension of the case was barely even mentioned in the initial news coverage). feministe says not to read that article (i agree - it made me so damn angry):

There is no reason to expose yourself to this kind of shit. I’m only writing about it because it has burned such a hole in my brain that I can’t ignore it, and because I think it’s worth pointing out how completely fucking vile these racist misogynist conservative fuckwits are.

(Now, I’m not saying that all conservatives are racist misogynist fuckwits. I’m saying that the racist misogynist conservative fuckwits are racist misogynist conservative fuckwits. Or that racist misogynist conservatives are fuckwits. Whatever. Anyway).

A cautionary note: Includes sexual assault triggers. Big time.

It’s racism at Duke, all right. Racism against white students. Members of the Duke University Lacrosse team may have abused a black party girl, but, without any proof or trial, the Duke Lacrosse team was punished by the university, suspended from further games. So terrified was the administration of being charged with “racism.” The black female wins again. She is truly an ace on the field and in court.

It’s too easy, since the arguments are so classic, and so easy to make. Just take reality and turn it on its head! See, it’s fun:

1. White people are perpetual victims
2. Black people are the real racists
3. Black females always win (and real winners are raped and abused!)
4. Rape “victims” are sluts
5. Sluts can’t be raped

the rest is here. it's very good. but don't expect to enjoy the stuff it talks about... i think i may now want to punch something. aRRRgh (link to some thoughts and comments by blac(k)ademic)!!
