  • 'Fit to be raped!'



    I write with much disappointment in my heart. Just when you thought that our political leaders could not sink any lower, they establish new lows.
    Listening to Prime Time News on TVJ on the evening of July 30 was an embarrassment. Desmond McKenzie, in his response to Roger Clarke, stated that ' "He (Clarke) is not fit to be raped".
    I would like to ask, is anyone fit to be raped? Is it a punishment or [COLOR=black! important][COLOR=black! important]reward[/COLOR][/COLOR]? This comment is a setback to all those who fight for rape victims in our society.
    Why make such a crass, nasty and unbelievably illiterate statement? Shame on you, Desmond McKenzie (and Bruce Golding for standing on the same platform).
    You do not win points by sinking to the depth of your opponent. As a woman, you will never have my vote!

    Both the initial attack and the response were deplorable. Portia and BG need to step in and upbraid the culprits.

    The more I think of it, we Jamaicans are just uncontrollable. I mean, do these people use their brains? Clearly these vibes masterss are more like vibe midgets. Class and grace are missing.

      Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

              what sick is they don't understand their choice of metaphors. In a county where rape is not uncommon we should choose our words more carefully.
