Do you believe that domestic violence should be addressed solely on the basis of racial oppression?

Oh totally. If it was up to me.

I don't disagree. But she is representing the larger discussion with something that is designed to create an emotional reaction in order to advance a social agenda, which I don't think is appropriate in lieu of actually taking all factors into account and using statistics to back it up. Of course, that could very well take some of the light off her own situation, which I'm guessing is why she approached at the angle she did. She's in the victim position, which carries more weight if she doesn't allude to other factors that could possibly weaken it from a standpoint of convincibility.

The statistics do back her up though. Your trying to put some alterior motive on her, "shes just using her rape to take advantage of you, the reader". I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that the addition of her rape in the article wasn't merely a guilt trip.

I agree, but if we both agree to this, then we cannot see the wrong in others addressing the issue from a perspective that runs counter to hers, assuming we're willing to take the issue seriously enough to accept that these individual perspectives could be a distraction from the truth as a whole. I would say the most reasonable position to take would be one that appreciates all factors, rather than those that simply have the propensity to create an emotional, reactive perception, which I'm sure she was going for, otherwise she would not have made it seem like the only reason she was raped is because black men are repressed in Haiti and white men rule the world.

Why can i only align with her? If i see someone else's article I'll accept if i want to. By all means show me a "counter" to her article and I'll read it.
You keep trying to simplify what she said to fit your interpretation. I don't think she made white men the sole reason behind the troubles in haiti, but it is a very significant one. They are in a position to do something about it.

I was just wondering if you included it to attack my position based on what some random people on a random "conservative" forum said. I'd also wonder if you think conservatism is based on what moronic kids on the internet say.

I'm sure you have quite a lot to ponder. I wouldn't exclude it to kids,no.
