Sidney Lumet’s daughter, Jenny Lumet, published her account of her rape at the hands of Russell Simmons.
Get a load of this pant load-
There is so much guilt, and so much shame. There is an excruciating internal reckoning. As a woman of color, I cannot express how wrenching it is to write this about a successful man of color. Again, shame about who I was years ago, choices made years ago.
What the hell is that????
Here, let me rewrite it as if it is the fictional account of Taylor Swift’s fictional rape at the hands of, I dunno, Jeff Foxworthy.
There is so much guilt, and so much shame. There is an excruciating internal reckoning. As a white woman, I cannot express how wrenching it is to write this about a successful white man. Again, shame about who I was years ago, choices made years ago.
We are supposedly in an important era of a great purge of a “toxic masculinity” mindset.
When do we get to the great purging of the toxic identity politics mindset?
Nobody sees color until they choose to see color. Depending on who you are, when you you see it, or don’t see it, you’re called a racist. And those racists are almost 100% of the time white people.
Meanwhile, Jenny’s post is being praised, even though it implies that there would be no hesitation had her rapist been anyone other than a black guy… a successful black guy. Poor black guys beware, there will be no hesitation to report you if you rape Jenny. Black mogul rapists, however, causes a moral dilemma.
That’s disgusting.
Simmons made his money off is rapist artists!
You know she didn’t want to risk her career. Next up, she issues an apology.
Excellent, and incredibly overlooked, point, Fur.
Since there are few symbols of success, it is an unspoken sin to knock them down. That’s why you had this reaction(which most white people could not comprehend(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsnuhz-Kb7k).
I’m gonna start referring to myself as a “man of color”. White is a color too.
Sounds more like a woman of (a) colored past.
I don’t remember this same angst when Bill Cosby, a black icon for decades, was brought down in a similar manner. I guess Simmons had also reached his expiration date. Media created these guys but can just as easily discard them.
So, is that an example of racial “privilege” the left keeps screaming about? Because that kind of “privilege” sound cool. Not that I would use that power. The only kind of “privilege” I know about is working for what I have and paying taxes so the malcontents can have what they have.
I mean, it would make paying my taxes easier knowing I could rape who I want and they would remain silent for years and if they ever did come forward they would be wracked with guilt for besmirching my good name. Maybe that is why Democrats are always wanting to raise taxes. They have been tapping into this “privilege” for so long who cares about taxes- am I right? Awh, great, now that the secret is out before us hard working Conservative types can use that privilege the door to that particular Privilege gets covered up with a brick wall. I mean not even Garrison Keiller can swipe that card and there is a guy who needs that card.
If Dems are still for high taxes I’m going to start to wonder what other privileges they are imbibing in. Somebody needs to take a 2nd look at Pizzagate.
Rape is all too real. But many of these “accusers” are women who were willing at the time to trade their hotness and sex for high-level career advancement. They’re just aggrieved they were ripped off– that they delivered the sex, but didn’t receive the dangled movie role, recording contract, whatever.
She was Lena Hornes granddaughter…..Does she just pick which color de jur fits her needs?…http://www.arogundade.com/lena-horne-ethnicity-bio.html Lena Horne was one talented GORGEOUS woman!!!!!!….
Wow, the promoter of rap “music” is less than honorable? I’m shocked.
Now there’s this, Oy vey.

(Where that Bull Pen at?)
WTF is all this PC shit….man of color woman of color.
It’s two negros. By the way we are all a person of color. You dumb bint
Basically you were raped by a black dude. Why didn’t you have his black ass arrested
You hypocrite
Identity politics is a cargo cult, and just about as empty and deleterious to civil society.
“Poor black guys beware, there will be no hesitation to report you if you rape Jenny. Black mogul rapists, however, causes a moral dilemma.
That’s disgusting. ”
Agreed.
Hey MJA….how about some Lena Horne for a late night concert?…
White is the absence of color, Davy.
Liberals (and blacks in particular) see absolutely EVERYTHING now through a lens of color. There is no objectivity on the merits or demerits of any issue, unless it is viewed through an ethnic, racial, or gender lens.
That OJ Simpson video illustrated that on a national scale. Blacks will tear down statues of Civil War generals, yet build a statue to a drug dealer and user, Marion Barry. Blacks will knowingly cheer a criminal (OJ, Trayvon, Mike Brown in Ferguson), just because it is a score over the white community.
They have taught me well — and they have taught me that very few blacks have any moral compass whatsoever.
It’s so sad that this is the common mindset that has been instilled in so many liberal sheeple. :/
Smudge, I’m voting with Davy. Whites are never White. I am a flesh color in the winter, peachy color, red faced when sunburnt or embarrassed, but overall a creamy color. White like typing paper? That is an absence of color. Me. I am different colors in different seasons. From March or April in Florida I get a beautiful shade of tan, I really like it when my skin is golden brown. I use Bain de Soleil for that San Tropez tan. So I am a woman of color, at 68 years old. Try telling me I am White. I will disagree every time. Blonde and grey hair, and various different color skin, depending on the place and season.

White is in my Crayola box
