What is perhaps even more horrific is the deafening silence and inaction of black men<br>on this issue, and the active support of the rapists now being given by Al Sharpton<br>and the NAACP. Black women bloggers are taking action. Black male bloggers need<br>to do the same and there are plenty of us. I'm issuing a call to arms.<br><b><br>The imperatives are clear:</b><br>1. Make the NAACP & NAN accountable for their defense of the rapists and reverse course.<br>2. Bring pressure to bear on WPB authorities to catch the remaining six rapists<br>3. Raise a lot of money for this woman and her son to help rebuild their shattered<br>lives.<br></span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:100%"><br>This is a black accountability moment.</span><span style="font-size:100%"> Black organizations, national and local,<br>underperform almost across the board because we don't require them to operate at a<br>higher standard of judgment, accountability or transparency. Both of these<br>organizations should be made to publicly reverse course on this case, or pay a<br>serious price until they do. For black men, I can't think of a more clear opportunity<br>to show unflinching, unwavering, non-negotiable, take no prisoners support for black<br>women.<br><br>My brother, join the campaign. <a href="http://blackwomenvote.blogspot.com/2008/03/stop-al-sharpton-and-naacp-from.html">The women got it started</a>, </span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:100%">but frankly, the brothers </span><span style="font-size:100%"><br></span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:100%">should finish it.</span><span style="font-size:100%"><br><br>This is simple:<br><br>A black woman was gangraped for 3 hours by 10 black men in front of her 12 year<br>old son.<br><br>10 black men destroyed her life.
