      In many universities if this video Were presented or she would come to speak she would be branded as telling lies and as racist. I just discovered my undergraduate school a small liberal arts College a very good academic standing now has segregated dorms as an option. They are called Affinity housing.

    “I allowed him to rape me”
    I’m not easily shaken, but that line gave me chills. This level of pragmatism, to racionalize being submitted to such abuse, can only happen in the most desperate situations. The more you study the history of socialism, the more you encounter episodes like this, where women (doesn’t matter if they are doctors, lawyers, teachers) desperate for food had to give up their dignity and the sacrament of their bodies for survival.
    I’ll give up my life fighting any tyrannical government before this fate befalls the women in my family, in my community or in my country.

      @@thomashall8701 not necessarily. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion and politics in our country. I back that up 100%. However, no one should have an expectation that everyone else has to approve of what they say. There are a lot of people who immigrated to our country that are truly appreciative of what they have here. We have a lot of natural born Americans who don’t appreciate our country because they don’t understand or haven’t experienced how bad their lives would or could be in a socialist country. I’ve had the opportunity throughout my life to experience to visit countries that have been run by dictators/ socialists/ communist regimes. It’s not pretty. Our country is pretty special compared to many other countries. You have every opportunity to succeed in this country if you put your mind to it. That doesn’t mean you’re going to be a millionaire, but you and your family can live pretty comfortably if you do the simple things. Are there exceptions? Of course there is and that’s just how life is. Like I said, there’s a lot of people in this country that are pushing for socialism, but have never experienced it 1st hand. Good day.
