Instead of asking vague questions how about just coming out with it already? Again, I can respect someone at least a little for saying what they mean and meaning what they say.

So you believe that black men "assert their power" over white women by raping them? Ok, that's a start. Can you explain why black men are not able to restrain themselves from doing so? Remember, be specific and say what's on your mind, not what you think is socially acceptable to the forum.

Maybe it's a race based reverse form of history repeating itself:

Slavery in America: African-American Women and Girls
Quote:

HBC has generally focused on the experiences of boys throughout history. Here we need to distress an especially troubling aspect od American slavery that affected girls and women. Any assessment of slavery in America is incomplete without facing up to this issue. There is no doubt that African American girls and women were routinely raped by slave owners and overseers. In the era where slavery was viewed as a benigh paternalistic institution, this simple fact was largely ignored. Actual historical evidence was not addressed and the very obvious existence of large numbers of light-skined African Americans simply ignored. Modern historians treat the subject more honestly, especially since the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings came to light. There were a range of relationships involved. Some slave masters brutally simply raped young African American girls using what ever violence was required. The assaults were obviously most commonly visited on teenage girls and young women. Then there was a range of approaches, including threats to the girl or women, to her family, or threats about punishments, added work, sale, or promises of freedom. Whether violence actually occurred or not, such threats to an individual without civil rights can not be considered anything but rape. Then there were relationships with actual emotional involvement. The Jefferson-Hemmings relationship is one such example. As so few Africa-Americans could read and write, there are few accounts of what slave girls and women experienced. There are, however, some accounts. Perhaps the most reviting is that of Hariet Jacobs. [Jacobs]

I'm very confused. There is nothing in the article the OP posted suggesting the victim was dragged until his limbs were detached, or that the crime was racially motivated. It might well have been, but without more information it sounds like race-baiting. I googled, and the only articles on the subject from credible sources are the ones that have posted in thread and this latest one from The Paris News (http://theparisnews.com/story.lasso?ewcd=da7fc75428093abc - broken link), none of which suggest the details in the title of the thread. The latest article even says that one of the accused had served time in the manslaughter of another "friend." So where's the racial angle coming from? Where are you getting your information?

I believe any killing of a black person by white is defacto racist to some people....

Of course, the argument for the opposite doesn't even have to be made.
