I did NOT say "Haitian people are sick", will some of you PLEASE quote what I actually said, gosh darn it!

Which is precisely where the blame for rape belongs, with the RAPIST!  Did white Americans go to Haiti and teach Haitian men to rape?  African men never raped anyone back in Africa?  Puh-LEASE.  Apparently some people are so afraid to be called "racist" that they allow themselves to be bullied into silence.  Well, not me.  Men who defend or rationalize rape are sexist!  Women who condemn and decry rape are not "racist".

Peace and love,
