Friend of White 15-Year-Old Gang Rape Victim Speaks Out, Says White Students Felt Unsafe at Richmond HS


"My name's Kami Baker. I'm a junior here at this school. I participate actively in APs [and] honor classes... I am friends with the girl [who was raped]. When I started here, I felt extremely unsafe and so did she, due to the lack of police officers and security officers... Here at this school, me and my sister are minorities... there are Mexicans and blacks around me everywhere."
(Watch the two and a half minute video clip at CNN)

Richmond High School is 78% Hispanic and 2% white.

Update: The Contra Costa Times has confirmed the 15-year-old gang rape victim is white and all but one of the rapists are Hispanic or black, and the San Francisco Chronicle has reported more disturbing details of the attack.

The white girl was propositioned for sex, and she said no. The gang of minorities told her they were going to have sex with her anyway, and began beating and raping her.

The rape lasted 2 1/2 hours. As many as 10 men sexually assaulted the white girl while another 20 looked on, laughing and snapping pictures.

The white girl was discovered, semiconscious, beneath a picnic table. Her face was purple and blue and she wasn't moving. She was injured so severely she had to be flown from the scene in critical condition.


The Contra Costa Rica assures readers that the rape had absolutely nothing to do with race and asserts that the attack "could have just as easily happened in a wealthy suburban neighborhood." At the same time, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the gang rape was the "inevitable" result of "the poverty-driven frustration of inner-city Richmond."

These two claims are clearly contradictory, and are merely attempts to deflect attention away from the racial aspect of the crime. The rape has been blamed on poverty; violent and misogynist video games, music, and language; dim lighting and inadequate fencing; etc. Basically, everything is a cause except race according to the media.

(During the Duke Lacrosse rape hoax, the media had no trouble mentioning the interracial nature of the alleged crime. Even after it was becoming known that that case was a hoax the Washington Post began an article on the case with the sentence, "She was black, they were white, and race and sex were in the air.")

Jay Leonhardy, whom the San Francisco Chronicle describes as a "nationally recognized community organizer," says that, "As awful as this attack was, just maybe it can represent a teachable moment. If people pay attention."

East St. Louis Refuses to Hire White Police Chief, Replaces White Officers with Blacks

Two white city officials in East St. Louis allege in a federal lawsuit that they were fired for their advocacy of a white candidate when the chief's job was open in 2007. Wyatt Frazer and Della Murphy recommended Ronald Grimming, an experienced white officer who had served as deputy superintendent of the State Police and director of the Florida Highway Patrol.

Mayor Alvin Parks told Frazer he was rejecting Grimming because of his race, saying, "the city wasn't ready to hire a white police chief." At Parks' urging, the city hired Michael Baxton, a less qualified black candidate.

Parks and Baxton proceeded to fire not only Frazer and Murphy but also several white police officers without cause. The white officers were replaced with black officers, some of who had criminal records, including one who took the oath of office despite an outstanding arrest warrant for domestic battery.

The allegations made in the lawsuit are disturbing, but not surprising. Parks' rejection of Grimming is confirmation that there's a glass ceiling for white males in urban police departments, a topic which was a plotline on the HBO drama The Wire.

In the fourth season of the show, white Baltimore city councilman Tommy Carcetti decides to challenge the incumbent black mayor, Clarence Royce. "You're the wrong color, you're not electable," Carcetti is told, but he persists. When Carcetti proves a formidable opponent, the Royce campaign resorts to blatant racial pandering. They print campaign posters in African nationalist colors emblazoned with the slogan "Mayor Royce makes US proud."

Baltimore's white police officers overwhelmingly support Carcetti, and some of them work to actively subvert the Royce campaign. Major Stanislaus Valchek leaks information on the death of a witness, and Deputy Commissioner of Operations Bill Rawls informs Carcetti when he learns that an influential black state delegate is displeased with Royce and might be willing to defect to Carcetti's camp.

After Carcetti wins the election, Valchek is rewarded with a promotion to Deputy Commissioner of Administration, but Rawls, who has reached the glass ceiling for white males, is denied a deserved promotion to Commissioner. Carcetti and his staff candidly cite Rawls' whiteness as the reason why he can't be appointed Commissioner.

Rawls seems crushed when he realizes he's been passed over because of his race, but Valchek laughs and reminds him, "Jesus, Bill, it's Baltimore. You ain't one of the natives, are ya?"

Given what's alleged to have taken place in East St. Louis, Valchek's words ring true. Ronald Grimming was the most qualified candidate for the position, but because he's white he didn't receive the job. Grimming may be a Metro-East resident, but he ain't one of the natives.

Why White Girls Go Black and What Happens When They Go Back

The Knoxville torture slayings in a nutshell: Naive white girl falls for black boy. Black boy beats white girl. White girl finally leaves black boy. Black boy and his black friends take out their anger by raping, torturing, and killing the first white couple they come across.

The white girl in this story is Daphne Sutton (pictured with child). The black boy is Lemaricus Davidson. The murdered white couple was Channon Christian and Chris Newsom.



WBIR.com in Knoxville has just released details of the conversations Daphne Sutton had with Knoxville Police shortly after the murders. Sutton revealed to police that she had only known Davidson for two weeks when she moved in with him at 2316 Chipman Street. She said she had never dated a black man before, and her mind was clouded by drugs:
"I've been living with my parents for like a year and a half, and I really can't stand it. You know how it is, living with your parents. So I met him, and he was getting this house and asked me to move in with him, and I guess just the first person to take care of me I jumped into. I don't even date black guys, my kids are white, so I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I really don't. Maybe, I don't know, the drugs, the weed."

Davidson regularly beat Sutton, and eventually she left him and moved out. The very next night, Davidson and some of his black friends carjacked a white couple that was out on a date. Letalvis Cobbins, Davidson's brother, testified that Christian and Newsom "was uh kissing in the car or whatever" when Davidson carjacked them and drove them back to his Chipman Street home.

There, Newsom was beaten and anally raped, before being shot three times. His body was set on fire and left by some railroad tracks.

Christian was killed only after hours of sexual torture. Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan has testified that Christian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was raped in all three orifices and then further sexually violated with a broken chair leg.

Channon was beaten in the head with enough force to cause bruising on her brain. A chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, was scrubbed with the same solution.

Christian was then "hog-tied," and her face was covered tightly with a plastic trash bag. Davidson stuffed her into a large trash can in the kitchen, and commented that he needed to "take out the trash." Christian died slowly in the trash can, suffocating. A few feet away, her exhausted killers celebrated their long night of rape and murder with a "hearty breakfast of sausage, biscuits, oatmeal and eggs."

During the night, while Channon was still being raped, Davidson called Daphne Sutton and invited her back to his house, telling her he had a gift for her. While Channon Christian was being guarded in the bathroom by Vanessa Coleman (a black woman), Davidson presented his ex-girlfriend with a Sears bag containing Channon's clothing and jewelry.

There's no question these crimes were racially motivated. Davidson was angry his white girlfriend had left him, and when he saw a young white couple kissing he snapped and decided to take his anger out on them. The Knoxville authorities didn't quite see things this way.

Astonishingly, the authorities considered the fact Davidson's white girlfriend had just left him to be a mitigating factor in their decision not to seek hate crimes charges. The District Attorney actually said, "We know from our investigation that the people charged in this case were friends with white people, socialized with white people, dated white people. So not only is there no evidence of any racial animus, there's evidence to the contrary."

Imagine a white male trying to claim he can't be charged with a hate crime because he has socialized with black people in the past. People would just laugh. In fact, a 14-year-old white boy in suburban Chicago was charged with a hate crime last year for using a racial epithet toward his black girlfriend after she broke up with him.

Rochester, NY: City Residents Carjack and Rape Pregnant Suburban Woman

Two men from the city of Rochester, NY were arrested for carjacking a pregnant woman from a suburban Rochester plaza last Tuesday night. Court documents reveal the suspects tore off all the victim's clothing and forced her into the backseat of her car, where she was raped.

The victim begged the suspects to stop raping her, fearing they would kill her unborn baby. Instead, the suspects repeatedly threatened to kill the woman (and her unborn baby) by shooting her in the stomach. After the 90 minute ordeal, the suspects tied the victim up and left her by the side of a rural road.

On Thursday, the local NBC news affiliate interviewed State Assemblyman David Koon, whose 18-year-old daughter Jennifer was carjacked at the tony Pittsford Plaza in 1993. The college sophomore's battered and bullet-ridden body was discovered a couple hours later in a seedy alley in the city of Rochester. Semen recovered from Koon's body led to the conviction of Willis Knight (he now goes by the name Rasool Khadafi, following a jailhouse conversion to Islam), a city resident.

Koon noted there are "a lot of similarities" between this week's carjacking and his daughter's 16 years ago, but left unmentioned (by Koon and by NBC News) was the fact that in both cases white women in the suburbs were victimized by young black males from the city.

The refusal to confront the obvious racial aspect of the carjackings is reminiscent of the mainstream media's coverage of the abductions and murders of college students Eve Carson and Lauren Burk in spring 2008. Initially the media spent countless hours analyzing the similarities between the two cases, but after the murderers were captured not one commentator pointed out the glaring fact that both young white women had been murdered by black men. Instead, the coverage shifted, rationalizations were made, and institutional forces took the brunt of the blame. Carson's murder became an indictment of North Carolina's ineffectual parole system, while Burk's murder was attributed to the military's failure to screen returning Iraq veterans for mental health disorders.




In the autobiographical work Soul on Ice, influential black writer Eldridge Cleaver recounted how in his younger days he purposely targeted white women for rape. Cleaver wrote, "I crossed the tracks and sought out White prey. I did this consciously, deliberately, willfully, methodically... Rape was an insurrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and trampling upon the White man's law... and that I was defiling his women... I felt I was getting revenge. From the site of the act of rape, consternation spreads outwardly in concentric circles. I wanted to send waves of consternation throughout the white race." [bold added for emphasis]

Federal crime statistics suggest that black males continue to "cross the tracks" to seek out white prey.

Of the 111,490 single-offender rapes committed against white women in the U.S. in 2005, Department of Justice statistics show that less than half (44.5%) were committed by white men and a full one-third (33.6%) were committed by black men. (Only 13% of Americans are black.) Of 28,350 multiple-offender rapes, only 9% were committed by groups of white men. 30% were committed by groups of black men, and 43% were committed by mixed-race groups.

Victim's advocacy groups report that the majority of women who are raped are victimized by someone they know, while the rest are victimized by strangers. It's hard to see how one-third of the white women in either group could be raped by black men. After all, interracial friendships and relationships are still not very common, and most neighborhoods remain racially segregated.

How are all these interracial rapes occurring? The most likely explanation is that black men continue to venture into the suburbs to seek out white prey.
