One in four South African men are rapists - BBC survey

[Staropramen]

Couldn't go past the second line.

I dont blame you, but the author raises a very valid point.

"Such perverse political correctness is a hallmark of modern multiculturalism and by no means confined to South Africa. Multiculturalism insists that all cultures are equal and likens criticisms of culture (no matter how valid) to racism. We see such outcries of racism time and again whenever there is any mention of high rate of single parenting in Afro-Carribean communities in UK, discrimination of women in Islam or the epidemic of sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities in Australia. It is a small wonder that a social worker in South Africa would rather construct an absurd moral equivalence than dare criticise black culture and be labelled a racist.

This begs an obvious question. What does this say about our multicultural societies, when it is more important to so many of us to be seen as non-racist that saving a child from brutal rape? Surely something stinks here".

Try reading it - it's as bad as the Ryan Report but the points being made are deeply important and I think it hits the nail right on the head.

You see, you DO know how to correctly credit third-party material. I was sure you could do it.

Author or plagiarist, Staropramen? Days and days go by and you can't answer such a simple question. I really do not understand your difficulty. If you plagiarised that letter, (here and here and here again), all you have to do is go back and edit your posts to make it clear that the posts which you presented as being written BY YOU were in fact written by SOMEONE ELSE. Simple, though I suppose your credibility will take a pounding.

Stop trolling and give an opinion on the thread for once you strange little man.

If this is true then it may go some of the way to explaining why African AIDS rates are so high.

Funny other people blame Catholic church.

No trolling here. Plagiarism is a serious business and would be enough to get you banned form most forums. Were you the original author of that letter or not? It's very simple.

Well given the South African President thinks it's ok to have a shower after having unprotected sex with a person who is HIV postive and then continue to have unprotected sex with his various wives is it any wonder black South African men have such a warped view of sexual violence.

I have lived in Cape Town and you can see how sexualised African culture is all around you.

It's a tricky issue as when you set out the facts you get accused of being racist or then others use apartheid as an excuse when the reality is this level of sexual violence is the norm across the entire continent.

It is a very deep rooted issue and will take generations to shift - the same as sexism or homophobia in Europe - which still has a long way to go.

But then again look at how deep in denial Irish people are about the level of sexual dysfunction in Ireland and where that stems from.

No Past To Speak Of: A Story Of Infant Rape In South Africa Lattenomics

In one part of the documentary a white social worker tried to equate infant rape to the sort of abuses that took place in Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. Ho can anyone can equate taking photos (no matter how gruesome and disgusting) of adults to physical rapes of infant girls that are so common place in South Africa? It was a truly disgusting moment that said so much about the perverse political correctness and apathy of white South Africans.

Such perverse political correctness is a hallmark of modern multiculturalism and by no means confined to South Africa. Multiculturalism insists that all cultures are equal and likens criticisms of culture (no matter how valid) to racism. We see such outcries of racism time and again whenever there is any mention of high rate of single parenting in Afro-Carribean communities in UK, discrimination of women in Islam or the epidemic of sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities in Australia.
