CeeTee's JournalTuesday, March 22, 2011Recy Taylor, gang-raped by white men.This case makes my blood boil! Had the roles been reversed and a gang of black men raped a white woman they would have been lynched. This poor 24-year-old married black woman was subjected to a rape by white men who hated her and her kind--the same people who wouldn't be seen with a black woman; who thought blacks were unworthy of education, the vote, sharing a water fountain, restaurant, bathroom, school, church, a seat at the front of a bus, and always related to the "back door" of any establishment or a home. Rape is the most degrading of crimes. It has nothing to do with sex; it is about control and demeaning the person. Hell isn't big enough for the likes of these men. At age 90, I am glad Mrs. Recy Taylor finally received an apology from the State of Alabama and that the State and, hopefully, its people recognize the cruelty of slavery and segregation, and that they realize that God created EACH OF US. I really wonder what the racists and bigots will think on Judgment Day when they realize that HEAVEN HAS NO BACK DOOR. Labels: The gang-rape of Recy Taylor |
About Me
I am a retired legal secretary and widow. I grew up in Midway, AL and graduated from Union Springs High School (now Bullock County High). I attended business school; went to Atlanta and lived there for 13 years; lived and worked in Silver Spring, Maryland for seven years. I have a daughter and two granddaughters, and am the middle child of five. Both parents are no longer living. My mother was quite a poet and my father was a self-taught musician and a very good one. My 30-year-old nephew, Bruce Evans, was killed in the line of duty with the Jackson County, MS Sheriff's Department on July 18, 2000, leaving a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, ages 8 and 5 1/2, so I suppose that pushes me to make my voice heard about crime and punishment.
