USMB Is Racist?

[no1tovote4]

Ahh, she/he is just trying to rile y'all. Don't let her get your in a fit, that is the purpose of trolls.

We've explained how the board changed over time to what it is now. I've noticed that all she/he has done is complain about there not being any Africa/South America section, but has posted no information about Africa or South America herself/himself...

In order to actually get people started on a conversation about it you would need to actually have some input into the subject yourself. The interest is feigned for maximum troll impact, as there is no evidence of actual interest in the subject to set your finger on.

more then likely d-ster is neither African nor South American in decent. Im sure he/she/it is a teenage white, suburban kid from california or massachusetts just looking to rile up a group of people for the sole purpose of riling up a group of people.

/ignore d'ster,

That usually works 100% of the time

SA's child rape shame

More children are being murdered and raped in South Africa than in previous years, according to police statistics, which reveal that more than three children are killed every day.

Equally shocking is that statistics released by the Safety and Security Ministry also show that more than 60 children are raped daily.

The figures were released in the same week that saw the brutal murder of Transvaal Judge President Bernard Ngoepe's granddaughter Makgabo Matlala, 4.

Statistics released on Friday by Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula show that 1 128 children were murdered between April 2004 and March last year.

The highest number of reports came from KwaZulu-Natal
This is substantially more than the 700 reported cases of child murder the previous year. During the same period, 22 486 children were raped.

Again, the figure is substantially higher than the 15 867 reports of child rape in the 2003/2004 financial year.

The minister also said there were 1 569 cases of attempted murder reported to police, 4 829 of indecent assault and 24 189 of assault with grievous bodily harm involving children.

Of the murder cases, the highest number of reports came from KwaZulu-Natal (284), followed by Gauteng (222) and the Eastern Cape (204). There were 164 murders reported in the Western Cape.

Waters said he was appalled at the horrific increases.

"In 2002/2003, 15 144 child rapes were reported while last year there were 22 486.

That's an increase of 48 percent in the past two years. Now the government will tell you that it's got to do with better reporting, but that's not true. If that were the case, it would be a steady increase," Waters said.

He said the figures amounted to a total onslaught on the country's children and urged the government to introduce drastic steps to reduce crimes against minors.

"The conviction rate in the 2003/2004 financial year was 4.5%. This means there's a 95% chance of not being caught, so people are re-offending all the time. And it's not about poverty either because, even if you're poor, it doesn't mean you go around raping children," Waters said.

I can understand the outrage, but can't you find something more immediate than March? What's the UN been doing in the interim?
