Black rape furore

We've established the bolded part already.
Seems like a contradiction to me. I would like to see the part where she talks about ALL black people.

"Naturally, it is much easier to endlessly complain about 'Calvinism' than to ask the question on why the rape of babies is a cultural phenomenon among black ethnic groups."

Who would get offended if racism, drinking and wife beating were classified as part of Afrikaans male culture?

(although it surely would not be construed as hate speech.... double standards being what they are currently)

Oh many did, but the knife doesn't cut both ways here.

a group of afrikaners reported her writing as racist on Praag. you have to be right-wing to read Praag, as many articles and people that support it are obsessed with white people. i think it's decent to weed out the bad examples in any group, and to not tolerate bad people simply because they share the same view/culture as you.

You just need to have basic reading skills in Afrikaans to read Praag. It was Piet Croucamp that snitched on her. And here is what Dr Louise Mabille actually said:
Wat linkse feministe gerieflikheidshalwe vermy, is werklike bedreigings vir vroue. Ons vind bv. dat ‘n behoorlike feministies kritiek op Jacob Zuma en sy kru patriargale praktyke in sy afwesigheid skitter. Persoonlik sou ek dink dat dit ‘n prioriteit sou wees om maalvleis te maak van ‘n veelwywer wat van gewelddadige verkragting aangekla is en in wie se taal daar nie eers ‘n woord vir hierdie misdaad bestaan het voor die koms van blankes nie. Om nie eers van sy sjarmante gewoonte om kinders by al wat vrou wat sy pad kruis, te verwek nie.

Natuurlik is dit veel makliker om eindeloos te teem oor “Calvinisme” as om die vraag te vra waarom babaverkragting ‘n kulturele fenomeen onder die swart bevolkingsgroepe is. Vreemd genoeg is daar ook ‘n groot onwilligheid om die Islam te pak.

A good question, why is baby rape to cure AIDS a cultural phenomen among Black population groups. Or how many Whites, Indian or Coloured people that ever rape a baby/virgin to cure AIDS?

How many black people ever rape a baby/virgin to cure AIDS? It's a tiny minority, hardly a cultural phenomenon.l

If you have the figures, let us know. Cultural phenomenon refers to a pattern that's backed up by the culture as the following also points out:
The belief that HIV/AIDS can be cured as a result of sex with a virgin has been identified as a
possible factor in the rape of babies and children in South Africa. While the prevalence of this
myth has been a matter of concern in local communities for some time, there have been recent
attempts to discern the extent to which this belief is exacerbating perceived increases in child
rape and the rate of new HIV infections nationwide. This article attempts to reveal the
systematic logic upon which is based the idea of ‘virgin cleansing’ as a therapeutic response to
HIV/AIDS amongst people who self-identify as Zulu. Based on ethnographic research in several
peri-urban settlements of KwaZulu-Natal province, key aspects of ethnomedical knowledge
associated with notions of ‘dirt’ and women’s bodies are examined along with the metaphors that
inform local interpretations of HIV/AIDS. The author argues that closer attention paid to the
shaping influence of cultural schemas is critical to better understanding belief-behaviour linkages
in the context of rape and AIDS.

Is there any evidence of it at all ?

Again, the laywers as mentioned by thingggyyy (I think) indicates that this information is squashed at the trial so there is no way of telling. Is there any evidence of baby rapes being the result of attempts of the criminal to cure himself of AIDs recently?

If you are really interested, why don't you ask the researchers. Email is given. But given your adherence to conspiracy theories, I somehow doubt that.

What conspiracy theory? Thingyyyy mentioned a couple of pages ago that the reason why you never see this brought to trial is because of the defense lawyers.

Really? :D

I think your ship of right is losing the fight against the sea of wrong on this one, Fudzy. I'd start manning the lifeboats if I were you. :p
