Gabrielle Union: I Cannot Take Nate Parker Allegations Lightly

[Osmosis]

Don't see how anyone can blame her for her feelings.

 

[Jammer22]

I'm just wondering why the black feminists can't see how they can flip this shyt to their and the black communities' advantage by supporting this and then asking for that check later....

Nate would have to make that sacrifice.
I mean, why would you marry another white-woman...

Damn, nikka.

 

[George's Dilemma]

I'm not EVEN touching that one

All I needed to read was this......

Sex assault lawsuit against Derrick Rose set for trial

A civil lawsuit seeking more than $21 million from New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose — he and two friends are accused of raping plaintiff “Jane Doe” in August of 2013 — is set for trial on Oct. 4

The plaintiff seeks $6 million in compensatory damages and $15.5 million in punitive damages, according to a court document filed in October.

Rose has denied the allegations, saying he is innocent. No criminal charges have been filed against Rose, and a Los Angeles police spokesman told the Chicago Tribune last year it was not known if the incident was reported to police or if there was a criminal investigation.

In a court document filed in November, Doe's lawyers indicated the woman had not filed a criminal complaint: "She also refused to get legal representation or call the police because she was ashamed and embarrassed by what had happened to her. She was concerned her conservative family would find out."


She didnt even bother with the criminal justice system Went straight for the money. Didnt call the police, claimed she didnt want to cuz her conservative family would find out Find out what? That a train was ran on you? They were gonna find out when you filed a lawsuit for money. What about the alleged crime committed? What if they do this to someone else? She doesnt care, she just wants some paper.

Unreal man, unreal.

This doesn't refute my point tho. The fact that your choice to enter this thread and make those antagonistic comments which directly contradicts what you've said above aside, your indifference proves my point.

Your resentment for black men shows that you're someone who doesn't understand what your own best self interest is. You'd turn a blind eye to white supremacy just to spite black men when the same system that they're using to tear Parker down is the same system used to oppress you and other black women too. Often times when white men get away with rape, the victims are black women. Systematic white supremacy says that black men usually get is guilty of rape anytime a white woman accuses even no evidence is present, while white men are never convicted of raping black women when they accuse regardless of how much evidence is present. So when you sit back and let the shyt happen to Parker claiming not to care when the system coming down on a black person that you don't care about, you're making yourself complicit with that system. This is what I mean by chess. A lot of black women don't understand the game and don't even want to learn how to play.

I entered this thread cuz I was tagged twice, sir.

Anyone making this movie should be pro-black and married to a black person. The idea that a man or woman with a non-black spouse is the creater and producer of a movie that teaches black empowerment and independence is ridiculous in any way you look at it.There is a direct order in how a functioning community must be run and who must represent it and lead it. If you allow ever person of every race or background in it dilutes your message. If you are truly about building a black economy and community then black people who marry or date interracial or create biracial people cannot be the face of your community because as a group you will not be able to keep resources in the group benefitting fully black men,women and children. What you are advocating for is a colored community like they have in South Africa. This is the reason other racial groups frown on interracial dating and marriage. They are trying too keep their wealth and resources to themselves and the future generations of their people.

this movie probably would have never been made if you were waiting for that

I do agree with you tho

I don't discount that these rape allegations made it back into headlines because Nate's film is not as white-friendly as his films usually are.

It was one of my first thoughts when this news hit.

I mean, it's never been a secret, but it hasn't been nationally reported since it happened. I did question why now.

My suspicions as to why this became news, do not override the facts of Nate's actions of his own confessions. Those suspicions do not override the fact that I will never support a rapist.

I read what I could on the case, the transcripts, I read Nate's interviews and statements, I read the commentary of Nate's college friends, and I read Black opinions that span a spectrum.

And the bottom line is, I will never support a rapist.

He could be as musically talented as R Kelly, I don't support rapists.
He could be a brilliant director like Polanski, I don't support rapists.
Nate Parker could be Nat Turner himself, I don't support rapists.

This country was founded by people who raped and tortured blacks. Do you support america?

 

[Rell84shots]

That pic pisses me off so much, that was the moment the black family structure started to deteriorate.

 

[jackson35]

i think all you need not to forget is a lot of black folk will be offended by nat turner and the violence he perpetrated against white people. i believe this whole thing is set up. Hollywood boule knew about this long before they gave this project green light. this is just another excuse to castrate the black man.

 

[MrPentatonic]

Seriously why are certain people obsessed with trying to destroy an already found innocent man?

You know why

 

[Taadow]

This is the MOST surprising part.

No - it's really not surprising. It's textbook.

Gabby Union is a rape survivor.

You expect her to side with a rapist?

...and boom goes the dynamite.

 

[KOohbt]

Hopped her fine ass right in the c00n train. Dear girl out here c00nin. Says a lot about him.

 

[Birnin Zana]

Think that's the point breh

For real, the Stephan Collins situation is actually a great example of the picking and choosing people are doing here and elsewhere.

Here we are scrutinizing a case that was brought to trial 17 years ago and resulted in a not guilty verdict. There always will be those that feel that Nate Parker is guilty considering the nature of the case, but it's quite interesting that this case has become one of, if not the biggest "scandals" in the past few weeks, despite it going to trial with a not guilty verdict 17 years ago.

Yet, Stephan Collins admitted less than 2 years ago that he sexually abused three women who were underage at the time...and basically nothing happened. No major scrutiny. No cancellation of his show, it's still on the air. No major push for an investigation. No push to shame him or insist that he makes public amends beyond the statement he gave. Nothing.

I personally don't have a problem with people scrutinizing old cases and even their verdicts, but please be consistent. Those that are consistent, much props to you. The rest of you, with all due respect, are looking quite hypocritical at the moment.

This country was founded by people who raped and tortured blacks. Do you support america?

No, I don't support any colonists, enslavers or "founders".

Black people built America.

I support America to the extent that it supports Blacks - the same goes for all white settler states.

 

[Still Benefited]

I read the article. And yeah she says that as a back-door cop-out because she's basically using the Nate Parker situation as an example of rape culture, etc. even though that clearly wasn't the case in his situation. Read between the lines. And why does she come forward with this mess now?

Didn't Nate Parker agree with this whole rape culture thing,and basically say the same thing gabby did?no need to defend a nikka married to a white woman,who's willing to lay down on the cross for these crackas
