If you’re the least bit familiar with rape statistics you would know there are all kinds of reasons why rapists don’t go to jail.

B/c rape is very easy to get away with. According to the description of the video he and his friends took turns with the 17 year who was not entirely conscious. Dumped her body in a bathroom. And then later tried to coerce her into giving him oral sex. That description still stands regardless of whether or not he was charged with rape. This guy has a PR team for christ’s sake. What is he trying to hide?

Can you do me favor? Id you would, could you click the link at the end of the above blog post and locate anywhere in those original court documents where he was convicted of having sex with an unconscious girl?

Can you do that?

The Janitor,

He indeed has sex with an unconscious girl and. Note was he was convicted for verses what he did. Oral sex was not the issue. Sleeping with an unconscious girl is. Please also take note of rapes going on in the UK. Rape gangs. Scary stuff.

“there has been a serious gap in the Black Blogosphere. It seems like there’s no central hub anymore to bring folks together.”
– Yes! I, very recently, had this discussion with @RiPPa:disqus not too long ago. I’ve been blogging since 2004, and there weren’t that many of us in the black blogosphere then, so it was a greater sense of community and support. Folks weren’t trying to become blogebrities and internet superstars, and there certainly weren’t any agendas to further (beyond the scope of social justice, like some are claiming to advocate for).

There was a slew of really well written, thought provoking black blogs and forums folks would build on. Most of those folks don’t write anymore and their blogs are either defunct or hasn’t been updated since 2006. The black blogosphere has def changed. Nothing wrong with that and no shade, but would love to see a balance of what was, in addition to what the black blogosphere has become.

The black and brown tumblr community comes close, in *some* respects, but there’re def a lot of self-serving, megalomaniacs on there too.

Anyway, pardon the derail, but yeah…

Here’s what we’re working on right now, bruh. It’s a forum platform where minority bloggers can share content and gain exposure for their sites while having discussions like we’re having on this thread. Check it out and go ahead and register, then share with others.

Agreed 100%.

Ever since FreshXPress died (and even before that to be honest) there has been a serious gap in the Black Blogosphere. It seems like there’s no central hub anymore to bring folks together.
