De röstar vänster. Det är den vite mannens fel att de blev våldtagna av en eller flera blattar.
Åtminstone
vissa som har våldtagits resonerar faktiskt så.
Ett exempel är ju människorättsaktivisten och 'antirasisten' Amanda Kijera som reste ned till Haiti för att motbevisa föreställningar om svarta som varande brutala vildingar; något som hon antog vara överdrifter spridda av haitiska kvinnoorganisationer.
Istället hölls hon fånge av en av sina skyddslingar (en av de män som hon hade valt att värna om) på ett hustak där han våldtog henne åtskilliga gånger.
Hennes ord om sin upplevelse och de uppslitande känslor hon genomfors av till följd av denna (mina fetningar på vissa ställen):

It hurt. The experience was almost more than I could bear. I begged him to stop. Afraid he would kill me, I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face. Overpowered, I gave up fighting halfway through the night.

Truly, I have witnessed as a journalist and human rights advocate the many injustices inflicted upon Black men in this world.
(...)
Women are not the source of their oppression; oppressive policies and the as-yet unaddressed white patriarchy which still dominates the global stage are.

I went to Haiti after the earthquake to empower Haitians to self-sufficiency. I went to remind them of the many great contributions that Afro-descendants have made to this world, and of their amazing resilience and strength as a people.
Not once did I envision myself becoming a receptacle for a Black man’s rage at the white world, but that is what I became.
While I take issue with my brother’s behavior, I’m grateful for the experience. It woke me up, made me understand on a deeper level the terror that my sisters deal with daily.
This in hand, I feel comfortable in speaking for Haitian women, and for myself, in saying that we will not be your pawns, racially, politically, economically or otherwise.
