I Wonder if Jessie Jackson Will Go to Cleveland, Texas?

An 11-year old girl was gang-raped by 18 boys and men in Cleveland, Texas, in December of last year, according to this article in the New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/us/09assault.html?scp=1&sq=assault%20texas&st=cse.

Funnily enough, I've heard no cries of racism, as was heard from Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton when the black stripper alleged rape at Yale...or Harvard, where ever that case took place.

And indeed, if you read the article, the races of the victim and the 18 perpetrators are not given. Even the names of the 18 perpetrators...or should I say...alleged...perpetrators, isn't divulged.

And of course it's the mainstream media that's doing this..but in the comments to the story, the facts are revealed.

Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton aren't crying racism and demanding that these boys be thrown in jail... because the victim was Latina, and all the perpetrators were black.

Now, I'm not saying that there isn't white trash out there that has participated in gang rape. There's plenty of white sickos out there. (As well as sickos of every race, creed and color.) t I am saying is that if any black woman is raped by a white guy or guys, all hell breaks lose in the black community - all whites are tarnished by association. So much racism!

But let the victim be Latina, and the perpetrators black, and as far as Jackson and Sharpton are concerned, it's just an unfortunate incidient, and doesn't reflect on an entire race at all. No racism there! (This despite the fact that Latinos and blacks actually don't get along in most inner cities...but no, they're not capable of racism...)
