By Amanda Kijera, civic journalist and activist in Haiti
Two weeks ago, on a Monday morning, I started to write what I thought was a very clever editorial about violence against women in Haiti. The case, I believed, was being overstated by women’s organizations in need of additional resources. Ever committed to preserving the dignity of Black men in a world which constantly stereotypes them as violent savages, I viewed this writing as yet one more opportunity to fight “the man” on behalf of my brothers. That night, before I could finish the piece, I was held on a rooftop in Haiti and raped repeatedly by one of the very men who I had spent the bulk of my life advocating for.

And who does she blame?


... oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage.

Of course it is the white-man's fault that a black woman was raped by a black man.

What is wrong with you?

This further solidifies my theory that women are emotional creatures that are bat shit crazy.

Oh man that is just classic.


It hurt. The experience was almost more than I could bear. I begged him to stop. Afraid he would kill me, I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face. Overpowered, I gave up fighting halfway through the night.

LOL, this blog reads like satire.

The dumb cunt got exactly what she deserves. But does this massive dose of reality shock her from her insane liberal views? Nope.


Not once did I envision myself becoming a receptacle for a Black man’s rage at the white world, but that is what I became. While I take issue with my brother’s behavior, I’m grateful for the experience. It woke me up, made me understand on a deeper level the terror that my sisters deal with daily.

Pure fucking insanity.

She's suffering from black white guilt? ROFL the jews have made the blacks feel guilty too.

The dismal savagery of the negro once again, only with White hatred and blame added.
Someone like that is not worth the time of a thought, other than to remember to
watch out for others with the same mindset.
