Race and rape (or, rape and race)
So, two sets of stories are swirling around my social media sphere.
Some involve the extrajudicial killing of nonwhite men.
Others involve the rape of women and the process by which those who are accused of raping women are dealt with.
Who here can connect those dots? (Hint: anybody like me who grew up in the South can.)
