A Final Postscript to the NAACP Coddling Dunbar Village Rapist Issue

April 14th, 2008

…well, final at least for now anyway.

The Black Women Bloggers campaign, that was joined by myself and other fellows, has declared a position of satisfaction in that the NAACP and Al Sharpton have refrained from using their advocacy powers to try and set the alleged Dunbar rapist free; particularly with NAACP Florida State President Nweze going to prosecutors to enquire about capturing the other suspects.

West Palm Beach Chapter President Maude Ford Lee still has never retracted her statement that keeping brutal rapist locked up is “unconscionable”. Nonetheless, she was rained in by superiors in the organization, and has ceased and desisted from active rapist advocacy.

Shecodes of the Black Women Vote! blog and Villager of Electronic Village appeared on NPR last week to discuss the issue amongst a couple of other things. Listen here

The success of this campaign highlights again how determine activism can win over naysayers skepticism.
