One more thing before I log off for the night… If the Cornell 7 were members of a Black fraternity, we wouldn’t hear the end of it from these Christian content creators and preachers.

News of the Cornell rape case has fueled a 73% spike in calls to the National Sexual Assault hotline in the last week. "Yesterday alone, they were more than double normal. Many of those contacting the hotline say they were prompted to call as a direct result of reading about Jane Doe," says RAINN.

Cases of forced intimate activities need to be dealt with carefully. Just because the university and the authorities failed to act doesn’t mean what happened isn’t true.

That is why Gov. Kathy Hochul appointed Attorney General Letitia James. She wanted a fair, unbiased assessment of the case. -About 85% of forced intimate activities on college campuses are never reported to the authorities.

Yes, we must consider the facts: -The young lady, Jane Doe, was inebriated and intoxicated at the time of the incident. Anyone in that condition cannot consent to intimate activity.

The silence and dismissiveness from Christian men regarding the Cornell 7 and LSU cases need to be studied. Quite frankly, it’s deeply disturbing. Here’s a comment I posted on Rock Leach’s (a Christian content creator) video. I linked the video in the comments.

At a campaign event, Trump suggested that they let Iran take out Los Angeles and San Diego. Please tell me how this remotely reflects the teachings of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t. The problem with these white “Christian” nationalists is that they are so caught up in their racism and misogyny.

In addition, didn’t Black American producers and directors like 50 Cent and Tyler Perry give him opportunities? He needs to go sit down and do some extensive research. And pray that his career isn’t over. (Note: I’m only criticizing Da’Vinchi, not every Haitian. I don’t do Diasporan wars.)

Maybe he’ll understand that Black Americans built this country. Also, without our ancestors’ work in the Civil Rights Movement, and without Black American creatives and actors busting their behinds to blaze a trail in film and TV, he wouldn’t have these opportunities.

Da’Vinchi needs to buy an entire library of clues. Perhaps he’ll get the message that chattel slavery in the U.S. was completely different from indentured slavery in Europe and Africa. He’s Haitian-American, so he SHOULD know that chattel slavery also happened in Haiti!

Tyler Perry’s “Doing Life” is pretty well done. I think there is a difference between trauma p*rn and slice of life films. Trauma p*rn glorifies people’s pain and struggles with not even a glimmer of hope. Slice of life films captures the average person’s experiences and makes them relatable.
