This is Amanda-Kijera. She's a volunteer down in Haiti. Her stated mission was to to dispel the “myths” that violence against women on the island was overstated by women’s rights organizations.
The intention of Kijera’s trip was to push back on the portrayal of black men as “savages” in the media and against common views of black men imposed by “the man.”
Too bad the black man she was helping didn't get the memo. He raped her repeatedly and brutally. Kind of ironic, I'd say.
But being a good liberal, Amanda still doesn't blame the rapist, but patriarchal, societal oppression wielded by Caucasians. Chirped Amanda......
Kijera makes the bizarre claim that dependence on white people makes emasculated Haitian men act out against them. Well here's a good way to stop the violence.....let's stop the hundreds of millions in aid we flush down the Haiti toilet every year and let the Haitians stand on their own two feet and by Amanda's twisted logic, the men will stop raping white women.“Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are,” she explained.
Somehow I don't think Amanda sees it that way. She's probably argue that more aid is necessary.
