How can we establish a sense of community in people who live together so that when things like this begin to ocurr there are people close by who will respond?<BR/>I believe that community is contagious and the stronger it gets, the less likely there are to be people who will perpetrate such horrors.<BR/>Communities also foster hope by giving support and help to those who feel alone and hopeless.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-68946656519944260792007-10-31T16:13:00.000-04:002007-10-31T16:13:00.000-04:00Shelia - It is a very rough story to read about. ...<B>Shelia</B> - It is a very rough story to read about.

These atrocities are heart breaking, so much so that they are easy to turn away from because they are so awful. Thank you for not letting us turn away, and for keeping the issue in the forefront so that we do stay mindful of it and do what we can to help resolve it.Sheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280487267612661372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-31058076007950546522007-10-31T12:48:00.000-04:002007-10-31T12:48:00.000-04:00oh, that is the ultimate scare yes!!!!

The...This is so astounding to me as a black female. The pervasive unspoken but much held idea of the black female as un-rape-able and in most cases hyper-sexual(a lovely parting gift from slavery when the rape of the black female was negated by the assumption that there was some inherent sexual taint within her, not to mention that supposed lack of a soul). Fast forward to modern day---When black females come forward with allegations of rape it seems that the knee jerk reaction is to examine how she might have mis-interpreted the situation or worse yet may have somehow caused it. Only when the cases are extreme is there any semblance of action on the part of the public or even the authorities. This will not be the last time I discuss this! That is for sure.
