What does the DU think about this? [View all]

Going along the lines of Race, I and a female friend of mind were discussing the race issue, being that she is white and me not some much LOL. I posed the question as to why? When a WW (white woman) needs to shield her actions, example “Susan smith, the runaway bride” and so on that Black-men become the best excuse? Now I realize that this was the standard back in the days see the movie “rosewood” or the story of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emit_Till however in 2012 nothing has changed. To illustrate I recently read a story http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2011/12/woman-elaborately-fakes-her-own-rape-and-blames-guess-who-a-black-guy/ note: link may not work Google it please.

So my question is this, why is this still happening and when will it stop?
