04/02/2008: "Black Women Angered By Sharpton's Defense of Black Rapists"

Al Sharpton and the local chapter of the NAACP have gotten themselves into trouble with black women for trying to turn the Dunbar Village rape case into a showpiece of racial injustice.

During the past three weeks, a network of about 30 black women bloggers have been blistering Sharpton and the local NAACP for coddling the black teenagers accused taking a neighborhood woman at gunpoint into her West Palm Beach home, raping her and forcing her to have sex with her own pre-teen son.

"It is breathtaking that the National Action Network brain trust can't seem to comprehend the difference between a home invasion by masked gunmen who torture, rape, sodomize, cut, burn, and beat their victims for THREE HOURS and culminate the event with crime against nature committed against a 12-year-old child ... and a case involving NONE of those facts," Fenton wrote.

[ Looks like these women noticed that Sharpton's stance was anti-woman and that couldn't be justified by his attempts to make a dubious claim of racism. ]
