Today is a hard day to be content.
I just read about the horrific story in Dunbar Village in West Palm Beach, Florida. It is the first time I had even heard about it.If you have a weak stomach, brace yourself, for I couldn't believe what I was reading when I read it.
Basically... at a housing project called Dunbar Village, a 35-year-old Haitian woman was raped and sodomized over a three-hour period by about 10 teenage boys who forced the woman to perform oral sex on her 12-year-old son. No one responded during the ordeal in which the woman and her boy screamed loudly as they were sexually assaulted and beaten.
The woman reported what had happened to the police, even though she had been warned by the knuckleheads that she and her son would be murdered if they "snitched." Maybe the neighbors were afraid of being assaulted or killed if they sought to find out why people were screaming for three hours.I am very concerned about the priority in reporting by the media and the response of accountability by African American "leaders." Sometimes it's as if women have little to no value in this country when it comes to being treated with respect and basic human decency. This especially seems to be the case if you are not white.
Want proof? Well, let's see. We have the infamous pending trial of famed R&B singer R. Kelly who seems like his case will finally go before the justice system for him having sex - that was videotaped - with a minor. Then there is the outrage over Michael Vick's alleged dog-fighting ring and cruelty to animals charge and groups like the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Al Sharpton's Network talking about the need to protect animals.Last I checked, I thought women as humans were higher up on the food chain. By default, shouldn't that constitute a higher priority when it comes to determining who needs protection?
What did make it all over the news was the killing and rape of a doctor's family in Connecticut: Hayes, 44, and Komisarjevsky, 26, are accused of breaking into the suburban Cheshire home of Dr. William Petit Jr. on July 23, holding his wife and two daughters hostage and terrorizing them for nearly six hours.
Police say the pair raped and strangled the doctor's 48-year-old wife Jennifer Hawke-Petit. The couple's daughters, Hayley Petit, 18, and Michaela Petit, 11, were tied to their beds and the youngest was raped before the men poured gasoline around their beds and set fire to the family home, according to police.
