Those pundits like that oily car salesman
Dan Abrams had the nerve to say that people are talking about
a change of venue for the Kobe Bryant rape
trial. For any African Americans, including African American
males (like myself know) that a Black man
(no matter who he is) and any white woman (no matter how ugly)
and any allegation of rape (*true or not)
equals a lynching in this country.
That has been a problem since the 6-8 African
slaves left by the Portuguese in this country. So damn right it
has always been about race and is still
about race in this country-when everybody else is encouraged to remember
their history and we are supposed to forget
ours and if we don't forget our history - we's considered 'uppity'.
This guy is gonna be 'uppity' till the day
I die. Fight the power! Now if Kobe DID rape the girl-he ought to go to
jail.
But this girl is damn ditzy.
First she flirts with him - she's in his room within minutes (well at least
less than an hour or two)
and thanks for confirming this - and she
is aware or probably suggested to Kobe to get a pay per view movie.
I'm with you bart, if it was an Adam Sandler
or Disney movie-ain't relevant, but if it was a porno. Any jury that has
common sense can put two and two together.
I am in Birmingham AL and a white guy (surprise!) calling into a
radio talk show put it succinctly. "She
tries out for American Idol, not a success. Her boyfriend starts dating
a friend
of hers from high school while she was
away at college, she tries to commit suicide unsuccessfully. She works
at the
resort and tries to latch unto a celebrity.
Kobe shows up. She is so ditzy that she knows of Kobe but don't know of
his
wife and child. She has an idea of going
up to his room, give him the best piece that he ever had and he falls on
her
knees and asks to marry her. After the
last grunt Kobe had, he tells her to go and close the door.
She is confused and her feelings hurt that
no one ever did that to her before, except the ex-boyfriend. She goes home
and tell her friends and family, and someone
put a bug in her ear that she did not have to take that and Kobe is worth
millions and she claims rape for payback.
Besides, the victim was used to rich white boy sex that lasts two minutes
and she was with Kobe a grown man that
happens to be a professional athlete and he lasts at least last 2 hours.
At worst, the sex was consensual, and Kobe
may have gotten a little rough after a while, because she is not used to
NBA sex.
"Now you know why NBA games are played
in 4 quarters" Now that was a white man saying that.

Mike, that's a thought-provoking letter.
One other thought to keep in mind about situations like this.
Paula Jones may have had sex with Clinton, but her husband was
a true Clinton-hater. So Paula ran to tell all her little friends
she was slurping the Governor, and when word got back to her
Clinton-hating husband, she had to change the story so it
HAD to be a sexual attack, or her husband would never speak to
her again.
Juanita Brodderick may have hax sex with Clinton, but her husband
was a true Clinton-hater. Juanita told all her friends that
she had shagged the very charasmatic Clinton, but when word got
back to her Clinton-hating husband, she had to change the
story into a sexual attack, or her husband would never speak
to her again.
Monica had no Clinton-hating boyfriend. There was no need to fabricate a story to keep him from leaving her.
Did Bryant's accuser feel bad after sharing a bed with a super-rich
and famous black man?
Did she sleep with Bryant to get back at her boyfriend, the one
who caused her to try to end her life with sleeping pills?
There are those who are now guaranteeing Kobe will be found not
guilty - if it goes to trial.
Last thing - compare Kobe Bryant's demeanor to Clarence "Slappy"
Thomas back in what, 1991?
Slappy was outraged that the very, very articulate Professor
Anita Hill revealed his beastiality piccadilloes.
With Slappy, it was pure outrage - he even promised that
he was no longer the same man he was when nominated,
which should have further disqualified him from getting a lifetime
appointment where he could seek his revenge.
On the other hand, Kobe was shocked, bewildered, puzzled and dizzy.
He seemed to have no clue why this woman would make such a claim.
