Lesson of the Duke Rape Case

In all the flap over the Duke University lacrosse rape case one thing is being forgotten, writes Ann Coulter with her usual verve.

You can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don't hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money.

She certainly has a point. Not only that.

You can severely reduce your chances of having someone playing the race card on you if you never get into a compromising position of any kind with an African American.

In general, white males seem to have internalized this lesson. That is what the government’s Table 42 in the National Crime Victimization Survey demonstrates year in and year out.

Here are the numbers for Table 42 in 2003 (pdf).

National Crime Victimization Survey 2003 from Table 42. Personal Crimes of Violence Perceived Race of Offender Incidents of Rape/Sexual Assault White Black   White victim 75,866 20,310   Black victim 0 21,105

There you have it. The numbers are pretty telling. Whites are happily raping away on white women. And blacks are happily raping away on black and white women. But whites are not raping black women. In the government’s Table 42 the zero has an asterisk. The sample is too small for a reliable number.

The question is: Why are white rapists so careful about not raping black women? The answer is obvious. Because it is too dangerous.

In this non-judgmental age there are still a few things that people are still really judgmental about. One of them is white-on-black rape.

If you didn’t know that before, you do now. That is what the Duke lacrosse rape case is all about.
