When the United States Supreme Court overturned the Force Acts of 1870 and 1871 (Cruikshank v. United States, 1876; United States v. Harris, 1883), it effectively legalized and created a permission structure for White Americans—and all Americans—to commit violence against the Black community.

The panelists examine how White American legislatures and courts historically determined that only white women could be victims of rape. They discuss how laws were specifically created across the country to exempt Black women from rape protections. Many judges and courts also interpreted existing laws in ways that suggested rape laws did not apply to Black women and girls, as white society deemed them immoral or promiscuous.
Black men were assaulted through sodomy and subjected to perpetual grooming by White men, conditioning them to adopt the harmful behavioral patterns of their oppressors—groomed into becoming rapists and pedophiles.
This episode takes an unexpected turn when Dante King nearly shuts down the entire discussion, reacting to what seems like female objectification and a trivialization of the topic. Tune in for this intense and thought-provoking conversation!
