Complexion For Protection: White Stanford Student Only Sentenced 6 Months For Rape Of Unconscious Woman

Stanford Rapist Only Sentenced To 6 Months For Sex Assault On Unconscious Woman We don’t wanna hear S#!T about how white privilege doesn’t exist because if this kid was a brotha there is no WAY that a court of law would accept all these BS excuses. Via DailyMail A former Stanford University swimmer who was facing a 10-year jail sentence for raping a drunk woman he met at a campus party, has been given just six months in prison for his crime. Brock Allen Turner, 20, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a drunken and unconscious woman. Turner who is part of Stanford’s high-powered swimming program was convicted in Santa Clara County Superior Court of three counts of sexual assault. Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky was lenient, after hearing emotional pleas from Turner and the victim. Lenient? Emotional pleas?? Where they do that at?!? Turner’s crime happened in January of 2015 when he had met a woman at a party at the Kappa Alpha House. The pair were kissing outside. He said he took off the woman’s underwear, penetrated her with his hands and touched her breasts, but never took off his pants. According to Turner, the woman appeared to be enjoying herself as she rubbed his back. He added that his ‘intentions were not to try and rape the girl without her consent’ but to ‘hook up’ with a girl’, the report said. Too bad Brian Banks didn’t get this kind of benefit of the doubt… Image via DailyMail

State Sen. Knollenberg Makes Racist Comments About Black Students GOP State Senator Marty Knollenberg from Troy is responding to outrage over what he said during an education committee meeting in Lansing Thursday according to WXYZ reports: “You mentioned these school districts failing, and you mention economically disadvantaged and non-white population are the contributors to that. I know we can’t fix that. We can’t make an African-American white. That’s just, it is what it is,” Knollenberg said during the meeting recorded on camera by the state. He was talking about failing school districts all over the state. Natasha Baker, the state school reform officer and Karen McPhee, the senior advisor for education to Gov. Rick Snyder, were answering questions for the committee when the comment was made. Baker responded during the meeting, saying, “We didn’t get here because someone is poor. We didn’t get here because someone is black. We got here for a variety of reasons.” “I was disgusted to hear any human, especially an elected official who is responsible for creating policy, to talk that way,” said Rep Brian Banks, (D-Detroit) “It is clear you have some built in racism. It is clear you are out of touch with reality. As an elected official, as one of your colleagues, you owe us an apology.” “It was as racist a comment as anyone can make,” said David Decker, the President of the American Federation of Teachers in Michigan. “It is scary to think an elected official thinks that.
