Gang Rape is a Racial Issue

The article below does not mention one very important fact - the race of the victims of these gang rape attacks, who are as previous articles on this blog pointed out are in the main white.

In regard to rapes generally the same sort of statistics reveal that black males are also more likely to be rapists than any other racial group ;

Note the whining excuses given in the document seeking to obscure the fact that black males commit more rapes than other racial groups and that the victims are more likely to be white women.

The police even state that white rape victims may not be reporting attacks - and we know that this will be because of fear of reprisals.

The police try and say that because more blacks are in London this leads to a higher figure of rapes involving black males - but one has to ask what the figures would be nationally if the ethnic concentration of black males in London were replicated across the country - would that lead to a massive rise in numbers of rapes nationally ?

Would the statistics of London be replicated across the country ?

The police even have the disgusting nerve to say that black males may be over represented in the statistics as a group as the victims of the rapes are being targeted by black serial rapists - an example of twisted logic with no foundation at all.

Reagrdless of whether the rapes are committed by individuals or serial attackers the statistics show that most rapes are committed by black males.

Therefore we can also say we have mainly black males raping mainly white women in one report ( The Sexual Offences Index report) and mainly black women being raped by black males in another report ( the British Crime Survey), though the police believe the former SOI report is more accurate as under reporting may occur when white women are raped by black males - by up to 40 % the police estimate in the report for the year 2002/3.

Black youths aged 12-17, the programme tried to establish, are responsible for the rape of black girls. A trawl through the courts revealed that, in 80 per cent of the cases of gang rape, the defendants are black.

Yet the Police, CPS and Judges do not prosecute these crimes as having a racist motivation - they are simply regarded as crimes as the victims are just whites.

With the 2005 crime figures in the US revealing that black males raped or sexually attacked over 37,400 white women whilst white males were convicted of just 8 rapes against black women in the same year, and figures from South Africa revealing that a quarter of all black males admitted being rapists - then the issue is certainly a racial issue.

A superb article on this issue is here ;

Gang rape: Is it a race issue?

A high proportion of such attacks appears to be carried out by young black men, according to Metropolitan Police statistics. Sorious Samura investigates this horrendous crime – and what it says about Britain today


Sunday, 21 June 2009

In 1999 I witnessed a gang rape in Sierra Leone. I was forced to watch a group of rebel soldiers taking it in turns to rape a young girl in front of an audience of jeering men. It was the height of the civil conflict and rape had become a devastating weapon of war. When I moved to Britain I believed I had escaped such horrific sexual violence. As my Dispatches investigation tomorrow night shows, I was mistaken. Gang rape is happening here – and what I have found most disturbing as an African is that a disproportionate number of these attacks are being carried out by black or mixed-race young men.


Towards the end of last year, police and child welfare experts working on Channel 4's Street Weapons Commission told us of their concerns about gang rape. Then two big cases hit the headlines.

In December, nine schoolboys, some as young as 13 at the time of the attack, were convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl. She was dragged between tower blocks in Hackney where she was threatened with a knife, hit and raped during an ordeal that lasted an hour and a half – some of which was filmed on mobile phones. In January, three men were convicted of gang raping a 16-year-old with learning disabilities for two hours before dousing her with caustic soda in an effort to get rid of the evidence.

How prevalent is this crime and why it is happening in Britain? Despite the seriousness of the crime, I was amazed to discover that no national statistics exist: gang rape is simply not recorded as a separate crime category. So over a period of several months we set about collating our own.

We approached the Crown Prosecution Service, the Association of Chief Police Officers, all 50 police forces, crown courts, barristers and rape referral centres to try to establish the numbers.

One of the few police forces to have begun recording the figures of reported gang rape is the Metropolitan Police. In 2008 alone, they received reports of 85 gang rapes. Using the Met's definition of gang rape – those involving three or more perpetrators – we began to look at the number of convictions. We tracked down 29 cases, from January 2006 to March 2009, in which a total of 92 young people were convicted of involvement in gang rape.

One fact stood out. Of those convicted, 66 were black or mixed race, 13 were white and the remainder were from other countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.

Clearly this is not a crime exclusive to black communities, but I found it impossible to ignore the fact that such a high proportion were committed by black and mixed-race young men. As a black man as well as a journalist, I wanted to understand what lay behind such attacks. So I spoke to victims, groups of black and mixed-race teenagers, youth and social workers and community leaders.

The groups of young men I met in London expressed some profoundly disturbing attitudes towards girls and sex. The boys explained how they make arrangements for "line-ups" in which one girl has oral sex with up to six or seven of them at one time. These arrangements might be made at school or on mobile phones.

Sometimes these girls initially consent because they want to be popular. But these events can spiral into rape because the boys consider that any girl who is prepared to agree to a line-up can be considered fair game. One boy told me: "If she wants to go and meet a bag of boys then she's probably a jezzie [slut], and if she's going to a house it's over – she's going to get beaten [have sex]."

In other instances, as some of the victims in our film describe, girls can unwittingly walk into a trap, innocently visiting someone's house to listen to music or watch a film only to discover that a group of boys are lying in wait. Or they might be hanging out with friends in a park and suddenly realise they have become surrounded by a group of boys intent on sex.

For both boys and girls, the line between this sort of group sex and rape seems to be blurred. A girl might agree to have oral sex with two or three boys but then be ordered to have sex with six or seven. The teenage girls I met told me that boys simply don't understand what rape is. And yet this is a crime that can ruin lives and is punishable by life imprisonment.

Occasionally gang rape is used to punish a girl for minor transgressions against gang members. In one of my most shocking interviews, I met a girl who admitted she had helped to set up girls for gang rape. As the girlfriend of a gang member, she organised these rapes, partly out of fear and partly to fit in.

She admitted she was terrified of being raped herself and had walked away when witnessing a girl being gang-raped at a party because she feared she might be next: "There was just loads of boys and the girl's tights were ripped up, like, she was bleeding as well, because I think she was a virgin, and they were just taking turns on her basically, and she was crying, and I didn't get involved because I thought if I get involved they're gonna turn on me."

The victims' descriptions of their attacks are horrific. One young victim likened her attack to being "pulled and pushed around like a rag doll", while another 14-year-old girl described her ordeal when she was gang raped by a total of nine boys who told her that she was not the only girl they had attacked. In that case, nine boys were subsequently convicted of raping her. The youngest perpetrator was just 12 years old.

I found there was concern among black communities about this violence. The Rev Joyce Daley, from the Black Parents Forum in Hackney, told me that gang rape is not a rare or one-off phenomenon. It is happening on a regular basis. She said: "It could actually explode on our very streets." Steve Griffith, a youth worker in King's Cross, said: "I see too much abuse of young women on the streets."

Gang rape, while constituting only a tiny percentage of all rapes in the UK, is a horrible reality in this country. The nature of the crime is so appalling that much more research needs to be carried out into its causes. But what seems evident from my investigation is that the key to preventing it will be changing the way young men view women and the kind of group sexual activity they are engaging in at such a young age.

Sheldon Thomas, a youth worker in Brixton, said: "We've got a generation that looks at sex as if it's nothing, and treats disrespecting women as if it's nothing. These guys are like 13, 14 and 15, and their actual attitudes towards young girls – towards sex – is mind-blowing. It's actually leaving you asking: where are their morals, where are their values?"

This is an important point to ponder. Too often among the black collective, white men are presented as the one to be feared, out to do you harm, etc. The truth is, white men aren't the ones committing crimes against us in this day and age. I think that instead of screaming racist when you post these stats, they should be addressed. Currently, they are ignored.

Hi Lormaire,

I totally agree - just as Paedophilia is predominantly a white crime, this issue must also be looked at in relation to those who commit the crimes which is white people - not also hidden because of political correctness.

How can white and black women protect themselves from rape when the truth about who threatens them is being hidden ?

Just as black on black gun crime is the main reason why black kids are being killed this is also never debated instead social workers seek excuses and to minimise the issue for fear of being called racist - but how does that benefit the black community when it is their families who are being killed ?

Regards,

Lee

My personal opinion is that they are being used to wipe us out.

Do your research and you will find we are being Flooded, Aborted ( 7.2 million since 1970 ) Sterilised, Gangraped and murdered out of existance by our own Government.

Further to Adrian P's comment, what is the BNP's stance on abortion, particularly among the White community, Lee?
