Univ Of Arizona Student Tells Women: ‘You Deserve Rape’!



University Of Arizona Student Tells Women: ‘You Deserve Rape’

University of Arizona student sparked outrage on Tuesday for preaching against women while holding a sign proclaiming, “You deserve rape.”
Dean Saxton, a junior, is notorious for giving inflammatory sermons in the middle of campus. This time, he argued that women are responsible for their rapes because of the way they dress and act. Saxton’s stunt may have been planned in response to the “Take Back the Night” protest against sexual violence
Saxton cut right to the chase, bluntly stating that girls who dress like “a whore” have it coming:
Saxton, a junior studying classics and religious studies, said his sermon was meant to convey that “if you dress like a whore, act like a whore, you’re probably going to get raped.”
“I think that girls that dress and act like it,” Saxton said, “they should realize that they do have partial responsibility, because I believe that they’re pretty much asking for it.”
According to the Daily Wildcat, the Dean of Students received “stacks of written complaints, emails and multiple phone calls regarding Saxton’s sermon about women.” Many students directly confronted Saxton, even trying to pull down his sign. Saxton embraced the attention on his Twitter account, posting a screenshot of an article about the Take Back the Night with the comment, “The whores are out.” In other sermons, Saxton has cursed people who are gay, have pre-marital sex, masturbate or have lustful thoughts. His Twitter account is rife with anti-Muslim sentiment, as well; last month he tweeted, “There will come a time when the sword will be put to the heathen.”
However hateful his speech may be, university attorneys told angry students that Saxton is exercising his right to free speech, and has yet to violate the student code of conduct.
While Saxton’s language is more incendiary than the norm, victim-blaming is very much a mainstream habit. The string of recently publicized rapes of high school and college students have exposed how communities shame victims rather than condemn the perpetrators. Dartmouth College is currently dealing with a similar backlash to anti-sexual violence protesters, who received rape and death threats amid a slew of misogynistic and ignorant comments posted online.
University of Arizona, while hardly condoning Saxton’s extremist display, has struggled with its own rape culture. Last year, fraternity brothers were indicted for sexual abuse, sexual assault and kidnapping of another UA student, but the charges were later dismissed. Many other students have reported abuse — 29 reports of sexual abuse and 53 reports of rape in one year — to the on-campus sexual assault crisis center.

He said The Super Bowl suck more D*ck than Trayvon Martin?


Todd Kincannon, Former South Carolina GOP Executive Director, Defends Trayvon Martin Tweets
Former South Carolina GOP executive director Todd Kincannon is known for making provocative statements on Twitter, but his latest series of tweets has caused an uproar on the Internet and even brought on death threats.
During the Super Bowl Sunday evening, Kincannon sent out a wave of racially-charged tweets bashing the game, including one that referenced Trayvon Martin. He Tweeted "This Super Bowl sucks more d*** than adult Trayvon Martin would have for drug money."
On HuffPost Live Kincannon defended his tweets, claiming that they were nothing more than satire, but that they highlight just how politicized the Trayvon Martin case has become. 
"The left has decided that Trayvon Martin was just this perfect little angel," Kincannon said. "He was a thug. He tweeted about drug use. This guy, he was a criminal, and the left has decided to make him some sort of martyr. That is what I don't understand."
Kincannon's inciteful words about Martin didn't end with those made during the Super Bowl. On Monday, Kincannon went as far as comparing Martin to Columbine gunmen Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris.
Speaking to HuffPost Live's Jacob Soboroff and Alyona Minkovski, Kincannon tried to argue that the response to his statements are because he is a conservative. He said he understands some find his words to be "tasteless," but that it's time for Americans to be able to say what they actually think without being afraid.
"I stand for free speech and I stand for honest speech, and I think more people need to use it," Kincannon said. And I will NEVER understand!  
And they don't understand why Minorities RUN from The G.O.P!

Was it right to suspend him from school for wearing PUMPS?



Gay Virginia High School Student Suspended for High Heels:
Asante Cotman, a 17-year-old student who wore high heels to class and was suspended for three days after being ordered to remove them for disrupting the school, says the real reason he was suspended is because he's gay, NBC12 reports:
Asante refused to take off the heels and the principal called him out of every class.

Video: 
"She said I was being disrespectful because she told me to take them off and I didn't take them off. And she called me again because I didn't take them off. I don't understand disrupting the class, because nobody was talking about it. Everybody was doing their work. People have seen me wear heels before. People see me with a pocketbook every day," Asante said...
...Asante says female students wear high heels and the slippers they demanded he wear violate the student dress code because of the open heel. He believes he's being punished for his sexual orientation.
"They suspended me for being gay," he said. "I'm missing a lot of classes. I'm missing classes that I need to graduate."
Asante is scheduled to return to school within the week.

Cardinal George "Gay Parade Might 'Morph Into KKK March"?

Cardinal Francis George Warns That Chicago Gay Pride Parade Might 'Morph Into Ku Klux Klan': Petition Calls For Archbishop To Step Down
An online petition launched this week is calling on Cardinal Francis George, the Chicago Archbishop, to resign from his post following a comment he made on a Chicago news station that compared LGBT rights advocates to the Ku Klux Klan.
Cardinal George's controversial comment was made Sunday during an interview on Fox Chicago concerning Chicago's Gay Pride Parade. Addressing a local parish's complaints that the parade passing by its church on a newly changed route would force it to cancel its Sunday services he said, "You don't want the gay liberation movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against Catholicism."


When asked by the Fox host that his comparison was "a little strong," Cardinal George stood by it.
"It is, but you take a look at the rhetoric," he continued. "The rhetoric of the Ku Klux Klan, the rhetoric of some of the gay liberation people. Who is the enemy? Who is the enemy? The Catholic Church."
WATCH:
The petition, launched Friday by national LGBT advocacy group Truth Wins Out, has already garnered 2,600 signatures.
"It is outrageous that Cardinal George would place law-abiding, peaceful citizens in the same category as a notoriously violent hate group," Truth Wins Out's executive director Wayne Besen said in a statement. "George's resignation is his only road to redemption and if he has a shred of dignity and a sliver of class he will immediately step down."
 Other LGBT advocates have said the Cardinal's statement was out of line and joined in the call for his resignation.
In an editorial posted Friday, Windy City Times publisher and executive editor Tracy Baim wrote that the cardinal "has gone too far, and he should graciously apologize, and step down from his post."
"At this point, an apology is not enough," Baim wrote. "George has proven he is out of touch with the progress of the LGBT movement in this city and country, and he should pass the torch to a new generation of Catholic leadership."
LGBT groups are not the only ones who have spoken out against the Cardinal's comment.
The Rev. Eric Lee, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference executive director, also condemned the statement.
"I have spent most of my adult life engaged in the civil rights struggle for African American people who have been terrorized by racist Klan violence," Lee said. "I am insulted by the comparison of the Klan to the current LGBT movement. When we distort the history of terror for cheap political aims, we only inflict pain on those whose lives have been scarred by the Klan."


A spokeswoman for the Chicago Archdiocese responded to the controversy, as reported by the Chicago Tribune, and said, "Whether it was the best choice of analogy I don't know. Taken out of context the meaning can be misinterpreted. ... I would suggest people read the whole interview."


WOW....Ain't that some mess!

Church Secretary FIRED from Church because her Husband is BLACK?

CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER!


Another Church, Another alleged Racial incident! Church secretary says interracial marriage got her fired.
In Fayetteville, Tenn. A white church secretary is suing her former employer, arguing that she was fired for marrying a black man.
Debra Dodd, the former secretary at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Fayetteville, Tenn., and the Rev. Tim Smith, pastor of the church, agree on one thing: Most of the members of that congregation are great people.

But from there, their stories diverge
Dodd has filed a lawsuit for back wages and $500,000 in punitive damages against the church after she was fired for what she says is racial discrimination.
Dodd said the all-white church first embraced her during her two years as secretary — and then suddenly shunned and subsequently fired her on May 26 after they learned she had married a black man in April.
Smith said Dodd’s marriage is unrelated to her firing, but also said his lawyer has directed him not to discuss particulars.

“In this congregation, I work with some of the most loving people in the city,” Smith said. “I can’t comment on the lawsuit, but there is more to this story.”


Dodd said the church initially “treated me like family,” but that changed after three  church leaders saw Dodd and her then-fiance, Michael Hampton, eating together at  a Fayetteville restaurant.“Then suddenly it went downhill. All of the sudden my clothes were not appropriate, I was not doing my job right. People stopped looking at me. They would turn their faces away from me. When my husband and a friend of his visited one week when I sang, there were comments about the ‘colored boys in the back."

I guess they forgot about “Love Thy Neighbor as thyself” and the Historical court case of Virginia VS Loving!?....Simply shaking my head!
