..I didn't say I played basketball. Never did...and since I actually HAVE a life, (unlike you), I don't need to make things up. Find it, cut and paste it, and I will give you $1,000. This is yet further edvidence that you have comprehension problems....in addition to probably being bigoted.booboobear said:Give it up . Why don't you have some self respect and admit what you said .
After telling us your life history about how you played basketball and there were girls like this blah blah , who cares what you did, you said this was most likely the case with this girl. Some people like you are impossible to make a point with because when their flawed statements are pointed out they always come back with " I didn't say that " . Take a stand and stop changing what you say .

Second, what I said was given two different possible scnearios, one stuck ME as more likely to be the case. That isn't the same as "was most likely the case". Here...I'll explain it...read slowly...

And your point is?Marco said:
Now here is the reality:Marco said:My point is how people generalize and jump to conclusions.
They were stupid stupid and very inhumane to use a woman like a piece of meat and pass her around.
...the black kids using a white girl as a piece of meat.
I know I said I'd stop posting in this thread but I feel I have to say something here:MLAM said:Hmmm...if it were rape...would the boys be bragging about it? If it were rape...would it take YEARS to report?
...I'm just not convinced she is a "victim"...at least not yet.Don said:I know I said I'd stop posting in this thread but I feel I have to say something here:
To answer your question... YES on both counts. It is not uncommon to have the abusers to brag about the act in a sexual assault. Especially if the assaulters feel they didn't do anything really wrong (the famous "she was asking for it") and also if it involved a group.
Also it is more often that rapes are not reported right away and many take a very long time before the victim has the courage to come forth. And many rapes ARE NEVER REPORTED AT ALL. A rape is very trumatic on a victim.
Listen I bet some degree racism was involved in the arrest in those kids. But keep the argument on that and not trying to question the behavior of a rape victim! So far the arguments I've heard questioning the actions of the rape victim have been very weak.

MarcoExplain to me how can communicate those clips as examples without refering to them. This should be interesting.[/QUOTE said:I would respond if what you said made more sense.
Please rewrite and I will glady respond.
Your points, after being written down, echo my sentiments exactly. You should've stated that instead of just pointing to some clips.
ok, I can agree with that. I'm not fully convinced of anything either. I just didn't agree with some of the agruments made against the alleged victim.MLAM said:...I'm just no convinced she is a "victim"...at least not yet.
If more edvidence is presented, I can be dissuaded. But right now the scenario I presented is the one that makes the most sense to me - that it was consentual sex followed by very bad (but typical for teenagers) behavior...

thats what court is for.MLAM said:...I'm just not convinced she is a "victim"...at least not yet.
If more evidence is presented, I can be dissuaded. But right now the scenario I presented is the one that makes the most sense to me - that it was consensual sex followed by very bad (but typical for teenagers) behavior...
And my original answer was you were generalizing because of the media coverage. If you don't want to hear about blacks crying racism, then eiminate racism.booboobear said:Well I don't know how anyone can say it was consentual sex since we don't have any evidence only hearsay . The real point of my post however was why do some black people always cry racism when someone black is charged . Why don't they just say my son or daughter is not guilty period.
Some black people cry racism regardless of the evidence .
...a few thoughts in response.Cindy said:Wow! I see things are still very hot on the board as usual.
Just my peace.

...I didn`t say *I* was judging you...I was pointing out that many would. I never said you weren`t a good parent - I was asking how you could assume those mothers from the school were not,, given that many would assume you are not. You orginal post SEEMED to imply that "I am such a great mom, so I can cast stones". My point was simply to illustrate that it didn`t matter if you were a good mom or not, there are people who would cast stones if they knew all there was to know about you, so you should be relectant to do that same (make judgements in a vacuum of actual knowledge). If you know a couple of the mothers actually involved in the case, then it would seems you posses more knowledge about the situation than most however, so that gives you some moral authority to comment. The VAST majority of those in this thread who have leaped to judge do not posess such knowledge...not that this stopped them from making asses of themselves.Cindy said:I know that not all involved were charged with rape. I don`t know about you, but I know 2 of the Mothers in this case and yes I know 1 who had her child at age 15. 1 of the mothers I speak to on a regular basis. She sometimes ask me why I only have 1 child as opposed to her having 4. Well I am sure some people will agree with me that it is better to have 1 child who you can give everything instead of having 4 who you can`t give anything. So I know where my comments are coming from.
You say that "I am STUNNED to hear such judgements from a Black woman who makes her living in the sex trade. I`d think you`d be pretty sick of people judging you, and hence would be slow to judge others." Are you saying that women in the sex trade have no Morals? What happens between Clients and the women in the business stays between them. I am sure that just because a man pays for time with a woman in this industry does not make him a bad father. Especially when he puts aside some money for his children`s education before he calls up an escort. What do you think escorts ply their trade at home. They work and go home just like you do take care of their families. Do you go home and tell your wife and kids what you are doing on https://terb.cc? Do you teach your kids to do the same? I am now assuming that you are a client. Do you tell your wife/girlfriend to go call a male escort? NO, so what we all do here does not stop us from being good parents to our children. All the Doctors and Laywers on this board do you judge them when you go into their offices, no, why? because you don`t know that they do this. So does my friends and family judge me? no, why? because they Don`t know Cindy Spence. As Cindy Spence is never allowed in my house. When I get home the loving, caring mother comes out. Sorry to Bust your bubble, but the Cindy Spence side of me is quite different from the Mother that I am. As for your information, no I am not a single (unmarried) Black mother? Yes I am married/separated soon to be divorced. I strongly believe in getting married before getting pregnant even if the marriage ends up in divorce. I have a BIG problem with teenagers having babies while their parents accept it and make them feel like it is ok.
No I don`t buy my child Designer clothes. As long as she is clean and she looks good I find other things more important like (her education helping with her homework, Piano lessons, swimming, skating, or what ever other activities she may be interested in). Yes I think if the tables were turned and the accused were white charged with assaulting Black girl people would cry racism too.
Cindy said:I got into a very heated argument with a friend about this situation. My friend think the Victim in this case is lying. I think we all need to wait and see. I don't want to say that she is telling the truth because I don't have the facts, but I just can't see why she would make up such a BIG lie.
Yes there is Racism. It is alive and well in our lovely City, but what if the girl was black what would the cry be? Racism will never go away. So teach your kids to be all they can be. The only way to win is to rise above all negativity. Each Black person who makes it can teach another one how to help themself and others and stop condoning BS.
Just my peace.
