Why is falsely accusing black men of rape a “thing,” I’m confused?
This has been happening since slavery and spilled to Jim Crow and is still happening in the 21st century. This kind of behavior lead to the brutal death of Emmitt Till and many other black men and boys before and after him.
I do not know how many women have been punished for lying about rape but it needs to happen more often.
In Texas, Denison Police confirmed that Texas teen Breana Harmon Talbott told a bold faced lie when she accused three black males of raping her. She even put on an elaborate show when she walked into a church with a torn shirt and cuts on her body. She admitted to Denison Police that it was staged and she lied.
Talbott is now facing a misdemeanor charge for making a false report although officers have acknowledged the damage has already been done. “Breana Harmon Talbott’s hoax was also insulting to our community and especially offensive to the African-American community due to her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax,” police said while giving a statement.
“The anger and hurts caused from such a hoax are difficult and all so unnecessary.”
When will white women stop falsely accusing black men of rape? When will this stereotypical mindset of the big, burly black man snatching up white women and raping them be erased? History clearly shows us it was the other way around. History shows white men raping black women as though it was some kind of sport but it’s easier to paint us as savage criminals.
Rape is such a vile and inhumane act and falsely accusing someone of this heinous act should be a crime.
